I'm of the attitude that when thrown off, get back on the horse. I dressed today (basically identical to yesterday) and am enjoying it. My other half has a client until 4:00 after which she is off to the nail salon. I have an errand to run at 4:00, so it is a safety day. This morning I was occupied installing a new toilet for my father, then to town to get the plates renewed for the car. I had it all done by 11:30, so I'm taking advantage of the situation. I even went out for a short drive again (photo included).
I don't know if or when she will bring up the subject, but I plan on being truthful in any case. Mind you, her comments about crossdressers in years past left a decided negative impression. If she says it has to stop, I will do my darndest to stop. Our relationship is more important to me than this hobby.
As far as clean shaving, that idea is on hold in light of recent events. It would be an outstandingly clear signal of my intentions and could blow things right out of the water. And, despite the ability of growing it back, I fear that the gray hair that accents the dominant dark hair would become the dominant color, and dyeing would be too much vanity for me. Also, last night I showed her a picture that a photographer took of me and posted, with all sorts of embarrassing positive comments (some people like my looks) including about the beard. My wife agreed, that was something she liked about my looks. Admitted, it is my face, but she has to look at it a lot more than I do.
