That said, I'm in man mode most of the time. About once every other month we get away for a girls weekend and will slip in a day here and there. In between time we shop together, get couples massages and mani/pedis together, and a few other bonding activities other might consider feminine. On the flip side, she goes fishing with me, works on the bikes with me, goes to the skeet range with me, etc.

In short, we choose to celebrate being alive and the togetherness. We've lost two children in separate tragedies and there's not a day goes by that that doesn't tear at us in some way. Thus, we'd both share that there are far worse things that can happen than me wearing a dress occasionally. Nevertheless, it might not be for everyone.
Ouch! Sorry to hear of your loss, so glad you have your partner to help you face that. Your relationship sounds very like the one I am currently building with my GF. She is very happy to give me a pedi/manicure, doesn't care what I wear as long as it doesn't stop her touching me, is a better bicycle mechanic than I am ( you should see her happy grin when she has grease all over her hands! ) We just like....being together.
