Larissa, Yes, we need to talk to our partners. When we hesitate to do so, we can make up all kinds of things that we imagine they are thinking about us. Happy for the two of you! I find it interesting that you make a point to say that you are not trans. Perhaps you have no interest in transitioning, but your description of your interests puts you somewhere on the continuum (IMO). Do you think that your depression was related to either 1) not dressing, or 2) imagining that your wife was no longer accepting and so your dressing days were over. If either were true, to me, that puts you on the spectrum. But, the important thing of course is that the two of you talked! Nancy
