Hi Coping,

My wife is fully supportive and accepting of my CDing. Specifically, Isha is allowed to explore as much as she wants when she wants. However, I never loose sight of the fact that our relationship is built on mutual respect so I am "guy me" for than "girl me". This acceptance has allowed me to explore various aspects of my identity and come to terms with where I stand . . . a guy who from time to time who likes to dress like a girl and go about her business.

When it comes to friends, I am out to most of my friends as I needed to explore that portion both "boy" and "girl". Most have accepted (with the exception of few) and I have interacted with both my GG friends and male friends both as "boy me" and "girl me".

However this is particular to my own circumstances and coming out to SOs, family, friends, work is particular to each and the level of acceptance will be particular to each. Some here may be perfectly happy with a DADT relationship, while others may be perfectly happy doing so in privacy as not all seek total acceptance. So I guess my question back to you is what level of acceptance are willing to give to your husband in his CDing journey? Remember, it is not just all about his wants, you are part of the equation as well.

Hugs

Isha
