Why do "I" cross dress? I wish I knew. What started it? I wish I knew. Did I cross dress before I met my wife? Yes, but I hadn't for many years. I had actually forgotten about it. Should I have searched my mind for every possible misdeed or inclination I had before I met her?

What I do know is my wife revealed to me some of her really really misfortunes and misadventures of the type that would have made most clear thinking men take a second look at this woman. And, most would have probably run for the hills.

What I do know, after several years of bedroom play that was mutual with lingerie, my wife and I discovered there was more to my desire to wear women's clothing than just bedroom play. It turned her off. What I clearly remember in our 'discussion' is she wished she had never told me of her past because then she would have been able to walk away from the marriage playing the poor victim. So, I was willing to accept her. She was not willing to accept me. Talk about bullshit.

Of course, we are now in a DADT marriage. Some call it a continuation of deceit or lieing. DADT works fine if it is truly DADT: no barbs thrown; no wearing of women's garments around the house; no painted nails.

I think for most of us in a DADT marriage, there are more stressful things that arise in a marriage than the guy wearing a dress. If not, why a 50% divorce rate?
