I knew I liked to dress at an early age, but it seemed to go away other than admiring what women got to wear. So when I was married I did not think there was a story to tell. well 23 years later the urge to crossdress surfaced and really was impacting me hard. It actually took a while to tie my stress and anxiety to it. Any way I finally told my wife and that was hard and created a lot of silence for sometime. we finally sat down and had a long talk about why, and she really feared more what I would do next not the dressing. After I assured her it is just clothes I am the same person, no plans to leave or tell family or friends, it is just something that makes me happy and I do not know why but it goes way back in time I guess. She finally said if it makes you happy you should do it. Now we were in total agreement who should know, which is no one in our circle, but I am able to go out to Tgirl events and have met a circle of supportive people. It is all about trust and understanding and loving a person enough. It has worked out very well, but even when I finally told her, I just felt the woman I married, my sole mate for life would accept at some level as she is a beautiful person and we have relatives that are part of the LGBT community. I read a lot on here people saying you need to tell before you marry, but there are many like me that at the time there was nothing to tell, It really was a midlife crisis for me at 50 years old 2005, hit me like a brick wall.
