[SIZE="2"]Hi Lee! Welcome to the site…Originally Posted by lee in a skirt
Yes, I trusted the wrong person, and I haven’t trusted many others since. I had a girlfriend, as close to a SO as I’ll ever get, and I told her about my transvestism. She immediately said “It’s OK,” but she didn’t want to know anything more about it. After that I would bring up the subject often, because I really wanted to talk to my best friend (this woman) about it. She always seemed amused but uncomfortable. I must say my girlfriend didn’t dress up much herself – early in our relationship she wore a lot of very feminine clothes, which in many ways constituted crossdressing for her (my theory). When she stopped making the effort to dress up a bit, she left her clothes at my house, and I started dressing up myself. When I told her I tried on her clothes, she said “I thought you might,” but the whole thing really didn’t interest her…
So, we gradually drifted apart over several years. There were many factors at work, and it’s a long story, but my crossdressing was definitely a negative to her. Later, we broke up abruptly, and in her anger she outed me to several people that we knew. This caused a lot of confusion and heartache, more (in my case) because we had broken up and not because my transvestism was revealed. I mean, I like the fact that I’m a transvestite – I’m happy with myself and I think it’s one of the most interesting things you can (and must) do. But, I feel that I lost some of the “magic” that I get when I dress up after this upsetting episode in my life. I’ve been trying to regain that magic ever since. We didn’t see each other for eight years, but my former girlfriend eventually apologized for outing me to everyone – she’s still uncomfortable with my “other side,” though… [/SIZE]
