The Real World, Crossdressers wives, and othe factoids

What if a spouse came down with a terrible disease like cancer that the SO will usually deal with but put on a pair of panty's and they are gone.

Just saying....

Really, really bad analogy. No one knows if they will get sick. YOU know if you are a cross dresser. Not even in the same universe of similarities.

.... and it seems the main reasons wives leave later on do so not because of the actual dressing itself, but because of their husband's selfish behaviors - compulsive buying fem clothing that the family can't afford, cheating with both men and women, not honoring boundaries, etc etc.

I will admit that when I'm truly p o 'd at him and listing his faults in my head, "and he's a cross dresser too" does come at the end of the list - but that's because it's the least important. ...

Wonderfully stated. Just proves women are better than men when it comes to compassion, empathy, and forgiveness. A strong foundation get deal with cross dressing. It does not mean it will be embraced, and that's ok.

I agree... I know when I was told I have stage 4 cancer, I never knew... only one in the family to ever have cancer

I would have to say yes to marrying him even if I knew. He was/is my best friend. We knew each other for years before we dated. I was 12 he was 14 when we meet. I was 20 & in college when we got married. He knows everything about my past and I knew ALMOST everything about his.

It might have made me think before we had kids. We might have moved out of this closed minded, southern baptist mentality state. I might have stayed on my career path instead of being a stay at home mom/wife. He took my choices away by not telling me. All I can do now is work on my anger & betrayal issues. Help him become more confidant in her. Raise my 4 beautiful children and take it one day at a time.

It is not the fact that he CD. It's the fact that my choices were taken away.

This may not always be true.
