Jennifer's response covers my attitude. The only clarification I would make is the word "accepting." Accepting does not necessarily mean "participating." My wife for forty plus years accepts the fact that I cross dress, although she has not interest in participating. If participating makes her uncomfortable, then so be it!

I am a retiree. My wife works, so I do get ample time, like today, to be Stephanie. I limit my cross dressing to the home. I have ventured out in the evening for strolls in a residential neighborhood. I found it rather boring. I would find walking with no purpose in drab to be boring too!

If my wife were to pass on to the next level, then I would probably dress 24/7 with some exceptions. I do not pass and never will. Being married I have sufficient interaction with humanity right now. f I did not have her, then I maybe would seek out similar thinking cross dressers for some social interaction. Right now I am content where I am in life.
