Batty, are you now or have you ever been married? That statement of yours that I quoted sounds as though it comes from a person who has never experienced "true" married love. If two people really truly love each other and are completely honest with each other, privacy is not an issue! If you have read my other posts, you know that I was married over 49 years to the same wonderful lady. She supported my CD activities for the entire time, always knowing that I was still her Man underneath the dress, skirt, etc! We never had a problem with "privacy!"

Kelli, your wife married a man!! Now you want to live as a woman! Not what she expected you to do. Sure, she knew you were a CD before you were married! But it is fairly obvious you never told her about your very strong feminine desires. IMHO, you are the only one who has any blame! If you had told her the whole truth back when your marriage started, you probably would not be in the position you are in right now. Yes, you might not even be married. But that might be the best route for you, given what you want to do with your life.

I have been a CD, off and on, for over 60 years. I had been a CD for about 16years when I got married. Never once did I think about becoming a woman, only about dressing like one!, My dear late wife asked me, more then once, if I felt like actually becoming a woman! I told he, "No, I want to be your husband but I do like to dress like a woman!" She told me that she was fine with that as long as I did remember that I was a man. See my tag line!! BTW, I said I had been a CD, off and on! That is because I did stop completely for a 5 year period, and only started dressing again because my dear wife begged me to! She liked having Stephanie as a girl friend!!

If you haven't already discussed this with your wife, I suggest you two see a Therapist who specializes in Gender problems as soon as possible. Crossdressing itself is not necessarily being Transgendered, but wanting to have breast implants and live 24/7 as a woman certainly qualifies one as being Transgendered, or maybe even Transsexual.
