Hello from Wendy

Just wanted to say hi to all of you and that I look forward to being part of the forum. Ive been dressing for many years but only told my wife about a year ago. Its been rocky at times but shes come to accept things to a small degree. At this point she only tolerates it and refuses to see me dressed. I work in a human service field as a professional and have a three year old son that I adore greatly. I recently joined a TG support group in my area and my wife does support this. I hope to learn as well as contribute what I can to the forum.--WendyC-- :)

Hi there and -wel- WendyC,
The best thing in the world is for your wife to go with you to a support group and the real GG will help her to understand and maybe she will have a little fun on the side. (--)

Hi Carol Ann, I agree that having my wife come to the support group would be a good idea but it would be a tall order at this point in time . She wont see me dressed at this point let alone sit in a room with 10 to 15 group members. I do hope that someday she might see things differently but at the same time feel the need to respect her wishes if she doesnt. Time has healed some things already but its hard to gauge her future level of acceptance--wendyC

Hi, Wendy, and welcome to the Forum!

Your wife (SO) is encouraged to join the forum where she can chat with other SO's of varying degrees of acceptance and/or participation. We GG's have an area that is strictly off limits to the CDs, so she may post in privacy.

Welcome Wendy,

We hope you can stay and participate. You will find that a lot of us went or are going through what you and your SO are experiencing, so hopefully you will find some options to consider.

Hi Wendy
Welcome to this wonderful forum from me, one of the olde English ladies. Telling my wife about 2 years ago was the best thing I did.

Hi Silverlady, Well I asked her if she would consider the forum and she got fairly agitated so I guess that idea isnt going to pan out. Thanks for the idea though. She also refuses to discuss it at this point in general . I honestly dont know how this is all going to end up.--Wendy :(

Hi Wendy and welcome to the forum. I do empathize with you but hope your wife will find a way to work through this with you. Give her space and take it real slow. You'll see the "baby steps' advice written all over this forum and for good reason. Best of luck!

Stephanie
