Significant Other's Acceptance

[jennCD]

My wife is quite open minded. I know she'll never leave me because of me being TG but I know she has issues dealing with it most times. I used to be quite open and would feel free to speak about anything Jenn-related to her, but after a somewhat sore exchange after a leg-shaving incident in May, it's been a period of losing ground, or more like undoing the progress that was made over the last year.

She is understanding and I suppose would like to be supportive so I guess she feels that she can best do this by not bringing it into the light through any kind of conversation so that there is no possibility of taking a discussion into a negative area. We have enough other troubles as it is, now and then.

As far as wanting it to be accepted,... Hmmm,.. sure I'd think that would make me feel quite wonderful about myself overall. I don't expect that to ever happen tho.

I answered "frequently" for my SO's participation. This is usually related to underdressing although she has participated in an observational capacity in full dressing. So, on that basis, yes - I would like to push things further. But not yet. The majority of the time she is not ready for that so no more advances right now. We've a lot of talking to do yet so we both understand how my being TG is going to impact the rest of our life together.

My SO is very accepting of Amber and we often dress together and enjoy different activities. She even buys Amber clothes and jewelry she thinks would look good. I couldn't ask for a more accepting, understanding Lady. Hugs, Amber

To answer your bonus question, I would like things to change but it's not exactly participation I want. My SO is always anxious about other people finding out about Ruth, so I respect this and don't do anything indiscreet: but I wish she could be more relaxed about it and realise that the world in general is not that interested in my peculiarities.
Still, things are not too bad - we always tend to want more than we've got.

I was surprised that when I read the results (so far) only 4 percent said their SO's were like sisters, So really I should go out a buy mine a big bunch of flowers, actually that's not a bad idea. Thanks for the idea.
Love is beautiful, good health you have to work at, long lasting Love is beautiful, but you have to work at it.
