    DADT.... That is not necessarily a bad thing. If- the CDer agrees to this type of arrangement, then their partner may not have any particularly ill feeling, or any real need for "therapy". The CDer who wants more than a DADT, but their partner does not, just having the non CD partner get therapy may not resolve much. It could just be, depending on the partner, how long after a relationship has been established, how it came to be found out or told.... So many variables besides just this feminine thing. How strong is the feminine aspects of the CDer? How much do they want or need?

    My wife has told me several times that the feminine part of this is ONLY a part of her struggle. Just as much, probably more comes from a feeling of betrayal. Lack of or broken trust, a feeling of not knowing who they are really with. What lies may have been told. How long they were told. Those issues belong in the therapy session if there is a need for one a lot more than getting over it of the feminine aspects.

    Lastly, the non CD partner is wired as individually as anyone else is. Some will have a greater ability to deal with it than others. Women who are into the strong masculine type of men are likely to have a harder time dealing with it all, and it might just be that a DADT is the best they are capable of. THAT is not a bad thing, or wrong IMO. If DADT keeps a marriage or LTR intact and healthy in the other aspects, best to leave it alone. It is not the end of the world.

    I tried the therapist route before, following my SO's suggestion. She thought it would help me stop CDing. On the contrary, it made me feel more confident than ever. I felt so comfortable with the therapist that I dressed up at the 3rd session. The therapist invited my SO to join us for our 5th session. She mentioned to my SO that I was really a beautiful woman inside & out. That she should accept me for who I really am, and also support me, embrace it and participate! I was ecstatic...until my SO blew up in front of the therapist. That was the end of the session....and CDing has been a major source of disagreement between my SO and me ever since...
    Hopefully, my "therapist " story will not happened to anybody here on the forum....

    I think my idea of what a good therapist would do are a little different. I do not expect a therapist to fix or change someone's mind. Their job is to help you identify the feelings and reason behind them so they can be sorted out for some to better deal with. You could very well reach the same decision but at least understand why and where to go from there. I think too many people have the idea when you suggest talking to therapist you are saying your broken and this person will fix you the way I want. If some how you can over come these feeling you might have better luck at getting some people talk to someone.
