Speaking from the GG perspective, her reaction there was quite over the top.

I think what most men have to realize before telling the significant other in their lives is how strong are you in your relationship. Is there that true understanding of each other? or has there been instances where she feels alone, or not supported, or even unloved.

When we feel any of the above situations, it will make it all that more difficult to be accepting, we will close our minds, instead of listening. We will react instead of letting there be an 'inter-action' between us.

Learning to accept your crossdressing probably was in ways difficult for you, yourself. So know that she will have all those feelings regarding her own sexuality, she will need to know how you percieve her, does her role change, will you still love her. and if she is in anyway insecure, your crossdressing will manifest into being an issue.

It takes a lot of talk, a lot of communication, so before you go and test the waters, make sure that you connect as a couple. Since you also have young children, that is also a time in a woman's life that is full of stress full moments.

My thoughts for you at the moment, is to truly work on building her self confidence in the relationship, letting her know your their backing her so when you express your needs she'll be there wanting to be understanding of you.

Well that's my :2c: and go slow!
