Hello All, I just joined this forum but I have been browsing for some time now.
I have been dressing off and on since I was 6 or so, but always in the closet. That adds up to about 50 years and still closeted. My wife knpws but does not approve.

Hello, Danielle, and welcome to the Forum!!

I'm sorry to hear that your wife doesn't approve - I think she's missing out on a great opportunity to have a "built-in" girlfriend as well as a loving husband! Your wife is invited to join the forum and chat with my fellow SO's and I, and we have a section of the forum that is private and off-limits to the CD's, so she can post without you knowing about it, if she so chose.

Either way, we look forward to your participation!!

Hi Dani,

to the forum.

My wife knows and doesn't approve either, but I'm not in the closet and not going back.

Thank you everyone for your welcome messages. I was thinking about my situation and am probably not in the closet as much as I think. I actually wear a good number of non-male items on a day-to-day basis. My wife is OK with me wearing panties and trouser socks all the time and about 1/2 of my pants are ladies jeans. And I have no male shoes at all. I have a very narrow foot and was never able to get a man's shoe that would fit. About 10 years ago the shoe store clerk asked if I had ever tried a ladies shoe and brought me a Naturalizer lace-up oxford. It was a perfect fit and I bought them. Not a single person ever made any comment so I bought a similar style for my next pair of shoes and have never gone back.
So even though I wear a lot of women's styles they are all ambiguous and I don't believe anyone has made a connection. I do not wear anything obviously feminine when my wife is around according to her wishes. I also do not go out in public at all except with my 'normal' clothing.
