Is dressing once per week enough?

It depends Catherine,

For me dressing is mostly enough about twice a week , usually on friday and saturday evenings.
Underdressing like pantyhose I do more often.
I hope everything will improve with your wife Catherine !

Love Sylvia.

Hi Catherine,

I am a total closet girl here. I would love to dress at least twice a week for a few hours if it were possible.

As of now I only dress when my wife is out for at least half the day or so. We are both retired, so we are home or out together most of the time.

I'm new to this, but have some strong desires for it. I just don't want to burden my wife with  the news that her husband of nearly 38 years is now cross dressing.

I envy those girls here that have accepting SO's. I'm also so very happy for them as well!

I hope it gets better with your wife's acceptance!

Hope this is helpful,

Hugs, Lara

It's a bit of give-and-take, right?
Is the relationship all one-sided?

I'm not certain how old you and your honey are, but I know as I've aged, this cat has escaped the closet!

While my wife isn't a fan, I've found that by careful choices of clothing (modest) that I am wearing nearly 100% feminine clothing every day in a manner that she finds reasonable and at times pleasing. She also knows that I have been a life-long and it isn't ever going away and that it's best accepted (albeit with some reservations).

Before the pandemic, I had about a week of Stephanie time every three or four months.  During the lockdowns and since things have been getting back to normal, I haven't had any Stephanie time, at least not any real Stephanie time.  I have enjoyed virtual Stephanie time.  That's not the same as getting dressed up though.

It would be great if I could dress up once a week.  What I'd really like, though, is to be able to dress up as often and for as long as I'd like.

Catherine this is entirely up to you dear. Crossdressing is as much about how it makes you feel as anything else. Psychologically speaking, even just wearing panties can give you that wonderful feeling that you have a feminine part of you that no one can take away from you. It is unfortunate that your wife cannot be more understanding and allow you more dressing opportunities but if you love her and don’t want your marriage to end then compliance with her requirements is probably mandatory. A decision like that may be difficult for you to bear, but remember she married a man and maybe having a very difficult time adjusting to your crossdressing.  Knowing that you have a feminine part of you that cannot be taken away by anyone may allow you to be satisfied with just wearing panties. There is always hope that you can change her mind later on especially if she sees that not dressing more often makes you unhappy. Just remember you control to a large extent your own happiness. Good luck Catherine in dealing with your current crossdressing situation. You are not the only one having to deal with this type of problem. - Blessings from Teralynn

At the moment im lucky to be working from home twice a week and i get to dress. But i do go long periods with no dressing at all. Dont show dont tell but dont get caught (its happened) and grab what time you can.

For  me I couldn't live without wearing something feminine every day.

My days start and end wearing one of my silky nighties and I wear panties every day. For the most part this is sufficient to satisfy my daily needs to be in touch with my feminine side. At least once or twice a month I crave to escape into the blissful world of feeling like a real woman and I will spend an entire day going all out in a dress, make up, wig, and breast forms.  It really depends on the stress level I've been dealing with as a man as to how often I need these total escapes.

I can’t get fully crossdressed at all

Hi Catherine

I normally dress about once or twice a week but the times in between I underdress. However over the past couple of months normal life has gotten in the way so Samantha time has been a bit thin on the ground.

Even my wife has noticed that she hasn’t seen my all dressed up as Samantha but never questions me about it as she knows when the time is right I will be all dressed up outfit wig and makeup.

Again she is fully aware that I underdress most days as she does the laundry and my panties always goes into the same laundry basket.

I appreciate that all SO have different levels of acceptance and I am lucky that my wife is fully supportive of the Samantha part of my life.

I get up several hours earlier than my SO. Every morning, as soon as I'm up I put on Bra & Panties and forms. and sometimes workout clothes. I drink my coffee while perusing CDH. We are in a DA-DT situation here so I remove my breast forms once she is up. The rest stays hidden under my regular clothes.

Its not much but it helps me to touch my femme side every morning. Occasionally I get to get out and more fully dress. For now i have to enjoy what i can when i can.  This near overwhelming compulsion just hit me last year.

I'm trying to be considerate of her feelings.

I also rise early to spend several hours dressed.  When I have to disrobe so to speak I underdress the rest of the day. I have had dozens of days home while my wife travelled; those days were completely enfemme.

As I live alone and mostly work from home, one would think I could dress whenever I want, but no.Most of my daytime hours this time of year are spent working outside doing the kind of Work/ chores that would ruin a dress or skirt, and there's always the chance of friends, customers, or my kids showing up.
So early morning, or late evening is Kelli's time..try for it every day, don't always succeed!

You've all been so sweet and supportive. Thank you very much! It's reassuring to hear that there are many others who have less femme freedom than I, and I very much hope that you're all able to increase your dressing to a greater degree.

Apparently many of you are only able to sneak panties occasionally. I'm so sorry about that. I told my wife that panties are truly more comfortable - and indeed they are for me. She is fine with panties every day. I actually own zero men's underwear. I have tons of pretty panties of all sorts and I do enjoy them very much. I always buy the girliest ones I can find. Pink lace and bows etc. She's fine with that. The bras are a little different. She worries that our youngest who still lives at home will hug me and feel the bra, or that it might be noticed under a shirt. I can usually get away with a thin, lacy bralette. I love the way that feels and it feeds my girly desires a little bit.

I'm hopeful that some day, maybe in 2022, my wife will tolerate my going for a makeover and photo shoot. I so very much want to see what a professional can do to make me look feminine. I will have to take very good care of those photos so nobody sees them.
If that goes well, then maybe I can build upon it. That's all still a distant dream for now however.

Thanks again for being the great girlfriends I need.

Big Hugs,
Catherine
