I have been looking for this forum for a long time. All of the others either crumble in hate, or don't address the deeper issues associated with my CDing that I want to talk about.

This place is intelligent, thoughtful and insightful. I am a life long CDer. Have tried to quit several times, but to no avail. I must admit as I approached 40, and stopped trying to quit doing it, then the pressure valve seemed to release and I am finding balance. I now do it when I want to do it, not when it wants me. I still find myself thinking about it more than anything else though.
Married 5 years with a supportive wife who knew about it before we got married. In fact I tried to talk her out of marriage, said she did not know what she was in for. We have managed to make it work, although I am still improving my communication and expression skills where this is concerned. I look forward to posting here.

Hello Karen, -wel- to the forum.

Good to know you told your wife before marriage, and that she accepted you anyway. Congratulations on your honesty and finding a supportive wife. =D> =D>

Hi Karen--
It is very nice to find this forum after a long search, isn't it? I read your post in "coping," and it does touch on a lot of things that have been discussed here. So I know you'll be right at home!

Hi Karen,

It's me who's like WOW!??!

That was an outstanding introduction!!!!! :)

I have to say kudos to your for accepting your CD'ing, telling your wife, continuing to grow, and continuing to work on communicating better with your wife!!! :) =D> =D> =D> :)

I REALLY LIKE YOU ALREADY!!!! :)

We do have an area for deep discussions that involve religion and current events. We tried to incorporate it into the forum, but it blew up in our faces. :( It takes 30 days of being on the forum before you can request access to it.

Regardless, it's awesome to have you here!!!! :)

Hi Karen,
Let me too also -wel- you to this forum. Yes you are correct this is the place for crossdressers who need help or just want to talk =D> . So pull up a chair and kick off the heels and make yourself at home (--) Carol Ann

Or, then again, don't kick off the heels, eh!

Hi Karen. Welcome to the forum! :) I also liked your "quasi-Hot-Topics" post. I swear, your little intro up above could've been written by yours truly. I seem to have followed a similar path. It'll be fun to read what you have to say in the coming weeks and months.

Love,
CJ

Hi Karen !

-wel- to our forum! It´s good to hear that you and your wife didn´t quit when you had to deal with your CDing. Like you said it usually takes a lot of work but it can be done if you both are motivated. :)
