Cool

What are the coolest and most enriching things about being in a relationship as a crossdresser? What makes it worth facing the challenges?

I especially enjoy shopping ?for women?s clothing , with my wife. Whether online or an actual brick and mortar store. She?s taught me a lot about foundational pieces and getting deals. We can?t really share clothing though as I?m much larger.

For me it's the Love, acceptance, and guidance that my wife gives me. Being my wife's wife has been one of the highlights of my life.

It mostly brings difficulties in the couple. Sure, it creates opportunities for acts of love, but these acts are responses to issues we would never have had without CDing in the picture. I can hardly picture any wife of a CDer saying that she'd take a crossdressing husband again if she had a chance to start over. At any rate I am sure my wife wouldn't. I love crossdressing, but I don't like what it puts on my wife's shoulders (for the record I told very, very late into the relationship).

I don't think it adds anything positive to the relationship. It's an extra hurdle, it's secrets kept from others, it's the possibility of embarrassment, it's extra money spent on clothes that I really didn't "need". But she loves me and is happy to deal with all of it. There are worse secrets out there, I could be abusive, could be on drugs, etc. The only good side I can think of for her is I don't complain when she goes out and buys clothes for herself, because I get why she needed that cute shirt when she already has a closet full of cute shirts.

I don't know about cool and enriching, but one positive is, that she knows we don't wear her bras and panties secretly, because we've got our own.

Might be unique to mu situation, but recognizing that for all the trials, tribulations and challenges my wife and I have encountered over our 44 year marriage, my CDing has not been one of them.

For me its being absolutely adored by my beautiful wife and although our relationship is odd and in some aspects she can be very strict in imposing her determination for me to live as her wife instead of her husband I know she loves me intensely as do I her. It makes everything I do to please her worth it.

I suppose shopping with my wife

My wife knew I was in the trans spectrum from the day we met. She sees it as a feature, not a bug. The fact that she is less conventional than I am, and encourages me to push my boundaries is kind of thrilling, after a lifetime of dipping my toe in the waters.
