I posted a query back at #86. I had one response. It concerned whether you husband or S/O has ever tried to explain why he needs to emulate a woman. The question was the "Why" and not how he looks or how the clothes feel. But, the "Why?" A post with a link I followed today ran back to the issue of "the lying," "deceit, "secrecy" and similar words. The article postulated many women would not actually mind their husband wearing woman's attire, except for those words. I really do not agree with that analysis. Sure, there are women who can live with it, but, most just as soon her husband stop or worse dump him out the door.
The question this article sparked in me is whether there is an acceptable time or circumstance when it is alright to "lie by omission" (not outright tell a falsehood when asked) or keep things secret. I've read too many posts/threads where the husband's attire has been tossed in the garbage. Or the wife is hunting down every last article of clothing. You get the picture. Expunge this from the marriage or I would may be hesitate calling it a marriage. So, the guy is caught between a rock and a hard place. Cave in and waste away his true identity or continue his activities. I can understand a wife being upset with too much time spent at her expense. Too much money spent. The potential loss of friendships. Sometimes it is convenient to be married rather than divorce; social standing, financial, etc.
So, are there circumstances when it is justified shielding a wife from cross dressing activities?
