[Closed] Wife says she has a better husband to this day

Give her a hug for us! My wife is supportive, but many aren’t. Glad to see another gurl with a great woman!

My wife has said that I’m more loving to her and calmer since I came out two years ago. I’m much happier these days now that I can dress at home anytime I want. So, it’s a win-win for us too! I’m very happy that you’re in the same boat, Adrianna!

I think my GG friends see me as a better friend than most men.

"You have an advantage. You understand women better, and you can see things from both points of view."

That is wonderful that your wife is so accepting and has those feelings.  It took a long time for my wife to accept Suzanne.  Part of her acceptance started when we went for mani-pedi's together and she said it was okay if I got color on my toes.  Since then we have shopped online together for clothes, bras and wigs.  We've gone shopping in person in a shoe store, thrift stores and regular stores. I've only tried on shoes but she will have me hold things up to myself to get an idea if they will fit (I don't think either of us is ready for me to try things on in the store). There are days that she says we should have a girl day and I dress and we hang out together.  She will help style my wig and help with make up. Other than my therapist she is the only one that knows I dress.  She says I'm more relaxed and caring but still a bit rough around the edges.

You're lucky to have such an understanding and accepting SO.

XOXO

That is just wonderful to hear!!

Interesting, I wonder what my wife would say. She's totally supportive and encouraging, even enthusiastic. She likes spending time with Nikki, and I can dress however and whenever I want, and she doesn't even mind that I came out as nonbinary. She's bought me my first heels, my favorite dress, even breast forms, but... would she say it makes me a better husband, I wonder. I'm certainly more open, more emotionally available, more forthcoming about what's going on with me in general, and more attentive to her needs. And she definitely likes that I can be a gal pal with her and her bff... but does it make me a better husband? I mean, I hope it does and we're closer than ever, but... I guess I'll have to ask her. I think I'm a better partner for not hiding the full and complete me, but when I think of my role as a husband, I realize that my growth areas there are still growth areas, my imperfections every bit as imperfect: I still get grumpy when I get sick, or if I get too hungry, and I'd rather futz around in the garage and tinker on motorcycles than clean the bathroom (even though I'm wearing lingerie under my coveralls). I don't think it makes me a better husband, just a better person in general.

Thays really nice x

My situation is similar. I think it's because once we're out, as long as things work OK, it's so relaxing with no secrets.

We talk so much more openly and shopping is better lol

I still get grumpy, force of habit lol?

Like yourself I'm still happy out in the garage or garden but I actually enjoy housework and helping in the kitchen.

No idea why, perhaps all part of being able to let go? Who knows but life is better.

I'll bet I'm not the only one around here wearing a mini skirt, tights and pink jumper under my overalls, just never spotted them lol

So happy for you and your wife!!!!!!

My situation with my wife is so much better now that I am out as Stephanie. She has a new girlfriend to go shopping with and to lunch and dinner and the theater. And I am so much happier not worrying about being discovered in my female clothes because I am everyday openly out and about as normal as well, it should be. And when I'm dressed I feel different on the inside as well more aware more sensitive more gentle more caring what a wonderful thing Stephanie brought to me later in life. Mr Steve.

Would you accept better person rather than better husband as a definition of what the emergence of your female side is producing? In my case I think it makes me better human being and therefore a better mate.

I just revealed myself to my wife 7 days ago and since has been a dream come true! I thought it would be the hardest thing I would ever have to do but it was the easiest. She listened asked the questions and all went well. I hope so many others are as lucky as us.

I just recently came out to my wife. Once things got back to our new normal we planned a shopping spree at the mall for both of us and a girls night-in. She told me she now has a best friend, a husband and now a girlfriend that she can talk about anything with! Lots of our conversations are girl talk about nails, clothing and dressing.
