It was very hard for me to tell my wife that I crossdress. I told her before we were married as I did not want to keep anything hidden from her. I was afraid if I did not tell her and she found out she would be hurt and wonder what else I had kept hidden.
She also had trouble accepting it. Over the years she has come to accept it and encourage it at times. She will purchase items for me and offer suggestions. She also released that she fell in love with the total me and the cross-dressing was part of it. It makes me who I am as a person.
The crossdressing community suffers form a public relations problem and in a way that can be related to political ads. You hear all the negative. You do not hear about the heterosexual crossdressers who want to spend time with their wife/girlfriend.
I have been dressing forty five years and do not consider it a fetish.
I have no desire to transition or dress full time. My dressing varies by the season. Less in the summer more in the winter. Sometimes it is just for an evening, on my days off or once or twice a year for five days.
When I dress I want to emulate women as much as I can. I try to dress, act and be feminine. Except for small changes I have no desire to change my body. In the winter I will shave my body.
While everyone is different level of crossdressing the big thing to remember is that you are not alone, your boyfriend shared with you something very personal and just to communicate.
