To Be or Not To Be. Isn’t that the Question?

[SamanthaSometimes]

The part about a GG looking in the mirror dressed as a man and feeling discomfort as an example of how a CDer occasionally feels makes a lot of sense. I wonder why this happens to people?

To your question Tinkerbell, I think Katey summed it up quite well in the quote below.

Many folk here accept this is something innate - we are born with it... something genetic, perhaps even hereditary.

I guess it all comes down to reconciling differences between people involved in a relationship. Some differences like CDing are harder for GGs to understand than others – much less acceptance. Regardless, the amount of love for and desire to remain in the relationship has to be assessed for every couple no matter the subject difference. I’m very glad you wanted to learn enough about the CD subject to join this forum and actively participate. I think that demonstrates your willingness to delve into the unknown for the love of your spouse and sake of your marriage. I wish I could get at least that much motivation from my wife.

I’ve been out of pocket for a while so just now getting to writing follow-up comments. Thanks to Tinkerbell, Isha, Jenny and Katey for your positive feedback.
Katey888: I really like your new picture. Thanks for all your effort in welcoming new members!
Jenny Elwood: You rock. Great reply to stefan37. Sometimes things progress well beyond our initial understanding.
Isha: Sounds like we have much in common – except for an accepting wife. You are so blessed.
