Crossdressers-Haven.com

Hello everyone,

I've posted in the past about telling my girlfriend about my crossdressing. As you may recall, we started dating last November, and I told her about my crossdressing in December. Since then, we have discussed it on and off, and I had shown her pictures of me while dressed and also my femme wardrobe. Recently I gave her the book "My Husband Wears my Clothes" by Peggy Rudd, which she read within only a few days.

Last night my girlfriend saw me dressed for the first time. We went to my support group meeting together. I wore a black short sleeve dress with black heels. She helped me pick out which shoes to wear to the meeting (I was having a hard time deciding).

At the support group meeting everyone was friendly to my gf. It was our "Las Vegas Casino Night" which was alot of fun. She chatted with some of the other SOs, which helped put her at ease.

Another nice thing that happened at the meeting is that one of the other members of the support group gave me a bag containing ten pairs of women's shoes. It seems that someone left these at her tailor's shop and they went unclaimed. I have small feet and they were in my size, and this person was kind enough to bring them to the meeting and give them to me. My girlfriend commented on them as I tried them on and picked out the ones that fit and that I liked.

I noticed she was a little uncomfortable with displaying affection towards me while I was dressed so I respected her wishes and didn't try to overdo that. She said she needs to get used to that.

Today she was over at my home and she had forgotten to bring her makeup bag, and I was able to lend her some of my foundation. We both thought that was funny.

I had been a little nervous about having her see me dressed, because I was worried she wouldn't accept this part of me. My fears were put to rest, because she suggested that she would come to another meeting with me in the future. It seems we are moving in the direction of greater acceptance. Our relationship has grown stronger this weekend and I am optimistic about our future.

That sounds great. I really hope it works out for you.

Hi Sharon,

You two were a great couple.

She was a great, open, and loving person.

They were indeed the cutest couple there!

Hi all,

Sharon,

Bravo, bravo, bravo, girl! You are so cool (and lucky, to boot!). Rock on, Sharon! May things proceed apace.

Beauty,

I envy you for having seen and talked with these two in the flesh!

Love,
CJ

Hi CJ,

I understand what you mean and I know you're not "jealous".

There are lots of Canadian members on the board lately. Hopefully you can meet someone soon too?

Beauty

Way to go Sharon!

I, too, wish you success in furthering your relationship. You seem to have a wonderfully open GF, I hope she continues to stay this way and let you be yourself.

Hugs,
Kyra

Hi Beauty,

No, not jealous. Just in need of some face-to-face stuff happening. One of my friends recently suggested that I should take up again going to Mado's, the local drag cabaret (where the clientèle is a healthy mixture of males and females, both gay and straight). There are support groups here, but they're for transsexuals mostly (due to Montreal's reknowned Gender Reassignment Clinic).

I'll have to think about it. I'm more of a coffeehouse person than a smoke-filled, everybody's-drunk-so-what-the-hell club person. We'll see.

Love,
CJ

Thanks everyone. Its nice to know I am among friends here.

Beauty really was a big help. I'm glad she was able to meet my gf and chat with her.

One thing I forgot to mention. I am severely allergic to cats. My girlfriend has a cat so we usually hang out at my place.

She said if we end up moving in together she will give the cat away (one of her friends has the cat's sister so they would be perfect together).

So, not only does she accept my crossdressing, but she's willing to give up her pet.

Sharon Rose

Well done Sharon!

Glad to hear things went well.

Being a cat-lover myself, I think the later hurdle you mentioned might have been the harder of the two

hugs
