When fifty percent of first marriages fail it is due to something that falls out of favor. It does not have to be cross dressing. I really do not think there are that many cross dressers out there that cause 50% of marriages to fail. I hope you take that analysis with some tongue in cheek. Face it! Some women are not accepting of cross dressing. Some men cannot stomach their wives getting older, wrinkled, no longer a size zero, etc. So, they shed their wives, and, the fat balding men jump over the fence looking for something more to their liking.
I really dislike the analysis I read on this forum that a woman should just adjust to her husband wearing a dress, heels, hosiery, makeup, wig, etc. Many men, whether they are cross dressers or not, feel their wives should be totally subservient to their whims and desires. The rooster rules the hen house. When I was dating I was not attracted to women who fit that mold. I wanted a strong women who could live independently of me. A woman who did not "need" me. Yes, it turned out I developed an interest in wearing women's clothing. She is not appreciative of my cross dressing for whatever reason. It does not matter. I am fortunate she decided my other attributes override this "quirk" of mine. Once she told me when I was going to go deep sea fishing with guys from my job, "Of course, you may go. But, if you catch anything, don't expect me to clean it." She did not clean my salmon.
Frankly, if my wife transgressed some social norms that really crossed my moral boundaries, I'd "kick her out."
