Laurana, you stated "because most women want to be married to a man, not a dude, who looks like a lady". The years I have been on this site I have saw your comment repeated over and over again and I still don't think it is accurate. Why ? Men can say we want our wives to look like ladies and not dudes, so you hide in a closet if you wear pants. They are all cloths, but Glenda said his wife made him get rid of the girl cloths. What if he ask/told her to get rid of all her male looking cloths. Understanding on both sides is the key for a healthy relationship. My comment you quoted still remains in my mind, why does a woman put herself through such emotional misery, because her husband wants to look pretty ?
The reality of it is, for both genders, when a difficult situations crops up in a relationship what should we do ? We should control our emotions and communicate in a rational manner, rather than blowing a head gasket and blaming the other SO in the relationship.
Just like the post by Dinky above. In her mind all of her emotional problems stem from her husband being a cder. Her advise to Glenda is to be more understanding of his wife. When does Glenda or Dinky husband get any understanding, to the point that they require. As I said....understanding by both is the key.
