From the CD perspective, this can be really, really hard, but it can also 'work'. My wife and I have been together 13 years and it's been a roller-coaster in how crossdressing has played in our relationship. I told her about it from the beginning, but after some initial small experiments it faded into the background, not quite DADT but close, for many years. She just wasn't ready to deal with it. But what she did allow me the opportunity to do was to discuss it with her every so often. We'd talk about how it affected us, how it made her feel, and where we stood. She'd occasionally accuse me of being pushy and usually would just tell me she wasn't ready to deal with anything else just yet. I'd do my best to shelve the issue for a while. Thankfully she never closed the door on talking about it.Originally Posted by DoorMat
Almost a year ago we had another of the chats and it boiled down to her saying "Ok, let's take it slow, but I think I'm ready to start dealing with it". It's been an amazing year since then and I realize how lucky I am. Not everyone gets to this point, but if I hadn't given my wife the time and space she needed we never would have either.
Interesting conjecture. This seems worthy of a thread of it's own to see the response. I know I'm one sexy beast of a man. I also have an ego the size of the Hindenburg, but that's neither here nor there...
