Every once in a while my husband will ask me if my acceptance levels have changed. My answer is always the same, NO. Then I ask him what makes you think something has changed. He kind of blushes and says well nothing. It makes me feel weird like I am doing something wrong....
For you CD's do you ever feel this way and do you ask your SO?
Our adult daughter recently moved back in and it does feel like we never have amoment to ourselves anymore, and of course that does cut back on his dressing to almost nil, this is causing some stress for us all of course.
I was really feeling like we are at a good comfortable place with this, now I am wondering if there is somthing comming.....
Maybe this makes just no sense and I guess I am rambling....

I always feel like I am doing something wrong. I think that has a lot to do with the way I was raised.. BE A MAN OR GO HOME... But it's a mix of emotions.. I rely on Sinjoy to tell me what her acceptance levels are.. I can usually tell (sinjoy isn't shy when it comes to her feelings.).. But that's what makes her special.. You always know where you stand with her..
I'm not broken, Don't try and fix me!

Hi all,
After my crossdressing desire surfaced almost 3 years ago and I told her within 2 weeks, we decided on guidelines.
After that, if I want to extend the guidelines a bit, I mention what I would like to do and ask if it is all right with her.
I try to go in small steps. For example, initially the agreement was that I would not stuff a bra with anything that could be messy - water or other liquid filled balloons, and I stayed with that I could borrow anything of hers that fit with only a couple of items off limits. I started with first polyfill stuffing in nylons, then rice filled nylons and now I have silicone forms (a few weeks ago).
My heel height limit has been raised a bit, from an initial 2 inches to now a max of 3 inches, but 2 1/4 or 2 1/2 are my highest ones and I'll probably stay at that height.

changing acceptance levels?????
Hello Honey,
Although I'm not fully conversant with the exact position of things in your family as to whether your daughter is aware of your hubbys CDing or not, and I'm presuming from what you say she isn't, then is it at all possible that now she's living at home would he feel he wants her to know? Sometimes some of us can carry a burden of guilt knowing that some our family doesn't know when others do, it's just a thought.
Also, maybe he is just insecure and just needs you to keep reassuring him that you're still ok with it, and of course there's always the possibility that as can happen sometimes, he feels there is another step he'd like to explore but feels insecure as to what your reaction would be. If you don't querey him as to why he keeps questioning your acceptance level then possibly you're just going to keep wondering and maybe worrying for nothing.
I can't say I really ever question my wife anymore as to how she feels as we've established a connection with it all so that she speaks up if and when she feels necessary.
Kind Regards,
Sally.

Watch nature, because it’s our greatest teacher, it moves and flows and moves on again. We can never be free until we disengage, so allow life to flow as you find it. The way it is, is the way it is.

Dear Honey,
I would wonder what was up too, if Jean-P asked me. I think I would alos ask "why", hoping he would say something, anything aside from, oh, no reason.
Jean-P asked a while ago if I would consider looking at a list of things he wanted to do, and to let him know what I thought. I said sure, but please let me know which things are most important to you, what you want to do now, and what you think can wait. And to please give me a little time to think about it.
I'd love to tell you how that went, but I still haven't recieved the list. Maybe if you ask your hubby for a list and some time, maybe, it would be easier for him to let you know what he is thinking about. Just a thought..keep us posted

I felt so weird about this question from my Husband that I did ask him again what he thought was going on.
It came down to his inability to dress as he had been since our daughter moved back in. He did say that there was really nothing I was doing. But that he missed when I would surprise him with a private evening for us. Near impossible to do now.
Oh well just a little bump in the road of life.
We are taking a vacation in June to Disney World without the kids so we should be able to catch up a little.
I will admit I have been quite stressed out latley, nagging headaches and a bit snippy with him. Went to the Dr today and found out I have VERY high blood pressure, hopefully the meds he put me on will help. And I will just have to work harder at keeping my stress levels down, yea right....
Only 2 more months till Disney.....

Dear Honey,
Watch out for the migranes while the doctor adjusts your meds ( it took 3 months for me) and be careful geting up from a laying or sitting position. Your blood pressure drops when you stand, and after 3 or 4 steps, you can get really dizzy, of course by then you are in the middle of the room, with nothing to hold on to!!!
Keep us posted...

Hi Sinjoy,
Thanks for the suggestions, so far so good with the meds...he told me this type of med has the lowest chance for side affects and so far I have not had any other than more frequent trips to the bathroom since there is a direurtic in the med.
The good side is that when I found the high PB it was 200/120! I have been taking it every day for the past 2 weeks and it is now in the 141/103 range, still high but much better than when I found out.
I am making a huge effort to reduce my stress and change my diet. I go back in the middle of May for a recheck.
Thanks again for thinking of me

Honey,
YEAH!!!!! I'm glad the meds. are working and with few side effects. Have you thought about some sort of meditation or yoga? I try to take a few mins. every day to just relax and commune with nature.( I sit out side and watch the hawks soaring, I am just awe inspired by it) and some quiet time... reading, thinking, praying... what ever I need at the time. It seems to help.
Keep me posted, and as always you and your hubby are in my prayers.
