Do you seriously believe a white lie such as "I didn't cheat on my diet today" is the same as someone not telling you they are a cross dresser? That is not a white lie indeed.

It's wives choosing social attitudes (which are indeed hard to fight) and emotions and feelings that spring from such over their children, over their husbands, over human and civil rights.

What the husband is doing is choosing lies and hiding over the risk of losing their wives, of losing their children, of losing their career, their friends, their families, their reputations.

Lets all be more aware of the heroism and courage of those who have been strong enough, daring enough to be open about these things.
I don't mean to sound harsh, but I find it laughable that anyone would be considered a hero because they CD. My husband is not a hero because he finally told me after 7 years of marriage. Its something he should have done from the start. Am I a hero because I a mother of 4? Am I a hero because I balance work and family? Am I a hero because I left the house today wearing makeup so that no CDer's are out there criticizing me for not fulfilling my role as a female? Good grief, put me on a pedistool. Its called life.

And yes, it is a hobby for many and in another thread many have stated as such so I am not speaking out of turn. So for someone to place priority on a hobby above their family is outrageous.
