@Roberta: I feel stilted and awkward sometimes when I want to say something about cross dressing and have to edit myself. I am usually a tell everyone-everything-sort of person when it comes to my own life and experiences, so it is distinctly odd to have climbed into the closet with my partner. I think I would have a harder time of it if it wasn't for the way I found out (by being trusted with this information at the start of my relationship) and the fact this site exists: I joined here as soon as I had started to process things, and came here for a source of information and support. The people on here have really been my support network, and a lot of people on here are friends now so I feel like I can talk with my friends about it when I need to - just not the face to face ones.
@ wild: my SO, Crystal Alberta is on this site. She reads more than she posts, but I know she still checks out a few things on here. We talk about threads sometimes, which I think is nice, but I usually am the one bringing it up (which is also fine!) she is the one who told me about this site, actually. When I figured out you could read a person's back posts, I went and read hers and found a post she made when she told me about being a cross dresser and it still gives me a huge grin to go find that old thread and look at it!
Sometimes I wonder if she would post more if I were not there to read it, but she doesn't seem to mind. I am really lucky that way.
