I'm growing to hate Halloween

[TxKimberly]

. . . Halloween is the perfect time for "anything goes" where you can wear whatever you want and nobody will care to judge. . .

And THAT is a significant part of my irritation about this. This is the one time of year where it's completely acceptable . . . except to my wife. lol

If Kimberly's life sucks then it's time for me quit crossdressing and go play more ice hockey.........

You know, I wonder if you could teach me how to skate on Ice Skates because taking my frustrations out on someone with a big stick is starting to sound kind of good to me. :-)

Kimberly, you have an extremely supportive spouse who has put up with a lot so that you can cross dress. Yes, there are some here who say that CDs should dress whenever and wherever they want, damn the consequences. But you seem like someone who cares about his wife and her feelings.

Why not surprise her and suggest a couple costume where *she's* the female one and you're her man--e.g. Romeo and Juliet.. . .

I agree with your implied statement that it is NOT reasonable to take the attitude that I should be able to wear what ever I want, where ever I want. In my opinion, that attitude fails to account for a whole lot of reality. But on Halloween . . . ?
Your suggestion about next years costumes is a good one . . . to please my wife . . . LOL

I really dont know what to say Kim, maybe she just got the totally wrong impression about your costume or something..

So what exactly what did you want to wear??

It never got as far as choosing an outfit. As soon as the very concept came up I was nuked. Not disuaded, not talked out of it, not even smacked - NUKED. ROFL

Just returned from a halloween party and there were a a few guys dressed as women . . .

The party I went to had two "guys dressed as girls" and one TS woman in a killer Victorian gown.

. . . So, a no go for halloween, sucks yes, but you can always think of it this way - leave it for the folks in the closet to enjoy, you have the other 364 days to be out.

Excellent point and I fully agree I am being petulant and really need to pull my head outta my ass, but still, we are talking about feelings here and they are rarely logical.

OMG, Kimberly. I just don't understand what is so terrible about going out dressed around Halloween. I hate to see you getting p**** whipped like this - it makes my head hurt.

OMG Anne, I almost spewed my coffee across my laptop when I read your comment. After more than a decade active duty Army, this comment appeals to me on SO many levels. It's concise, blunt, to the point, and leaves absolutely no ambiguity as to the thoughts of the author. Bless you for smile and the B***h slap.

Don't worry, Halloween for us CDs is like New Years and St. Patty's day is for heavy drinkers - amateur hour!. . .

Killer analogy. Hold on - gotta wipe the coffee off of my monitor again . . .

. . .
I don't see what this has to do with Halloween. If you're in a relationship where everyday you are confronted with major things that you know you will always hate about each other you have to ask yourself why you're still in that relationship.

This situation seems a bit ridiculous. Does everything have to be a difficult compromise that neither of you are happy with? . . .

Raquel, not to try and twist my sorry and childish post concerning Halloween into a discussion on the meaning of life, but . . . It seems to me that both of your above points come close to defining a few important points about a marriage. In a marriage, you often DO have to constantly make compromises and accept things you don't like about each other. I could list countless examples and even started to do so before I decided it was gonna be too huge and too personal. If your single, you are free to say "Damn the torpedoes!" etc, but when your married and have children, you MUST make compromises or you will not remain married.

...I hate Halloween because of this issue. . .

Awe Kolokea, it sounds like we both have the same problem, for much the same reasons, just from opposite sides of it. Oddly enough that makes me feel a little better and a Little worse at the same time. Yeah, I know that doesn't make any sense, but still . . .
