I hope you and your wife find the answers you are seeking. I hope you'll be attentive to her fears and be sympathetic to the confusion that Hailey has caused her. Remember to put her before Hailey. I hope so very much that all goes well for the both of you.

Hi Hailey!

Note that you aren't the first and won't be the last to feel like a kid in a candy store. Pay heed to the store manager, however

I got a kick out of that, so I'm starting out with it up there. I went overboard, too, Hailey, but it was just me! So I understand the 'whys' of it, but it's tough on an SO.

I did not like the feeling of being 'driven' by it, though, and was glad when it eased off after three months or so. It was like any new relationship--infatuation for a while.

Hello Hailey. Welcome to our wonderful group of girls (CD's, SO's & GG's). I find it very heartening to hear from other girls who have an accepting and supportive partner for this journey. But, please, please do not let the 'pink fog' overwhelm one or both of you, hon.
Be as respective and supportive of Carlyann as she is of you Hailey. I hope you both find exploring this part of you rewarding, and fun too.

Hello Hailey

I just recently outed myself to my wife and I have found my self very fortunate that my wife wile uneasy is accepting and started buying me womans cloths right away.

I have not outed myself to my son yet as he is in high school and we are unsure of his perception and influence. The tough years.

I to have thought about the freedom of the empty nest and also thought how old I will be then too.

Welcome and Enjoy

Hi to the both of you! In this case it is not just the CD that gets what she wants, but, the CD and the spouse. What I mean is, your marriage and relationship will now grow stronger than either of you could ever imagine. The fact of being able to speak of and act out your fantasies etc, is two great ways of communication. I am 63, retired army and retired from civilian life, married for 2nd time, 22 years first time, 21 years this time, and still somewhat in the closet. My 1st wife would not even talk about it, called me names, 2nd wife was OK with it for about 8 years then went cold on the subject even tho we had our good times in the bedroom etc, but over all she won't REALLY LISTEN when I need to talk to her about my need to express my womanly life. Anyway, take care of each other and keep LISTENING to each other for you BOTH have a marriage to be very proud of and I hope you have many, many more years together. Love is always the answer. Vickie P. from N.C.

Thanks for the welcome.
To Vickie P, sorry to here about the shut down from your wife. I had to put my dressing away for more than 6 years myself. It surprised me how when I would drink, the urge, ok NEED, to dress, would be the first thing I would think of. Good luck. I had a dress I always loved to wear tucked away in a drawer. I was so happy to find it the other day to find it. I still look pretty in it. And it is a poly knit, you know, the material that feels so very good against nylons. Just hold on to something you really like. Just in case.
