Truer words were never spoken.
When my wife was unaware and I was deep in the closet I would find any reason to steal minutes, hours to dress. She would want to go to the mall and I'd say "I hate shopping" (what a lie that was). She'd go alone and I'd mimic Superman in his phone booth with my quick change skills. When I finally came out to her and she started to accept me all that changed. Now we always shop together in the mall or on TV. The joke is that we walk through the women's section and I see a skirt I like. She takes the first one off the rack, looks at the size and says "Of course it's YOUR size". We both laugh and enjoy the moment.
We've become so much closer now that she's accepted all of me.
