Coping2014,
We all have different levels of what CDing does for us, many of us still don't fully understand it and find it hard to say how far do we want to go, without any restraints. Being totally in the closet is fine for some they are happy with the very private thing they have. Mine is sexual and want to share it with my wife, she knows about my CDing needs but doesn't participate, for me it makes me feel unloved and rejected but I still respect her decision. To me she she should allow me dress as I choose to dress if it's the only pleasure and happiness I get in my life and she should respect me for that. She knows I'm not gay and don't want to transition so she's not going to lose the man about the house, I just want the acceptance to express part of me that is a total stranger to her and my family, is that so bad ?
