Hello Everyone Im A newbe, also need advice

[Johanna May]

Well hello all, im very new to the crossdressing fourm. I thought it would be time to hit the ground running. I finaly joind a fourm because of the baby steps i have been taking. I had a hart to hart talk to my wife on how i like to wear womens clothes. she was very hesitait at first but i didnt push it. I would educate her with articles and before i new it she was ok with something. Such as panties and she took me out to buy a sexy silk nighity and i loved it. She also bought me some panties. I love her for that. But i do have a little problem. Ok i want to wear 24 7 such as panties starting out, i am a electrican so im out in the feild and i am a lead person. Not sure what to do. Plus I want to wear more womens clothes but not sure how to tell the wife i want to wear more, pants, shirts, ect, plus get rid of the boxers and panties all the way. Cant wait to hear from my fellow ladies

Welcome, Johanna. It sounds like you're getting it about right with your wife. Don't know about the rest of it.

Welcome,
Can't help with issues since my talk with wife did not go well. Someone here will have some insight I am sure.

Hi Johanna, to the forum.

Personally, I see nothing stopping you from wearing panties 24/7 (if your wife is ok with it) unless you do a lot of bending that will leave the top of your panties exposed. Still, if the edging isn't lacy or feminine looking, you should be ok since they do make silky underwear for guys.

As for other things, take it slow with your wife, and talk it over. Note, however, that even with approval, she could change her mind at a later date.

Welcome! I would pretty much agree with DonnaT about wearing panties 24/7, go forth and enjoy!
As far as expanding your CDing, I would have to go kinda slow. You are very lucky to have the wife you have, it sounds like she could progress with you. I would strongly suggest that you and your wife should have more discussions on how dressing makes you feel etc.
But probably more important, is find out if your wife has any particular fears about your CDing, then try to work with that. Communication is an important key to your progression. It is not always easy, but well worth the time and effort.
Good Luck! Jamie

Hi and welcome, I have to agree with teh other ladies, especially Carly! maybe your wife could join the forum?

[Johanna May]

Well thank you all for your support, and sharing your thoughts. The wife just sent me a pair of nice leapord print panties. They feel great. I am really thinking of going 247. She has been very good about all of this. I hope it continues and we move foward to more things.

There's no guaranteed series of steps to spousal acceptance. It's all about open communication, respecting the fact that she is entitled to her own viewpoint, and taking any concerns she might voice seriously. Some people find the idea personally distasteful, while others are more concerned about how others would react if they found out. It's rare (but not unheard of!) to meet someone who embraces gender variance without reservation. And as Donna points out it's not uncommon for the experience to change her opinion over time.

"Underdressing" by wearing women's undergarments under otherwise masculine clothing is incredibly common. A lot of folks who don't identify as cross-dressers have done so at one point or another. It was certainly my first step. With one noteworthy exception involving stolen luggage and traveling with a co-worker, I literally have never bought any male underwear in my life. After I moved out on my own I immediately embraced as much femininity as I was comfortable with at the time. It was never a real issue for the 20+ years I still lived as a male. Doctors were a non-issue. They're used to it. Getting changed in public dressing rooms required a little discretion (I usually took my pants and panties off together.) And as has been pointed out earlier I always wore pants with a relatively high waist or shirts that were long enough to avoid giving anyone a peek unintentionally.
