So many of you speak of your SO. If I took that leap and spoke to her and she gave me her approval. Would I get sick of it? Is it worth the risk?
@love2cross69 Those are questions that you are uniquely qualified to answer.
I've had times where the desire came in waves but now, I understand who I really am. As a result, I enjoy it more, I'm more comfortable with it and never get sick of it. Sure I sometimes get weary of the effort required but generally I enjoy it. As an example, occasionally sunglasses can be a substitute for the effort of full makeup but I still get out as Lauren. It's just who I am. So would you get sick of it...it all depends on who you are. As for the risk, again only you can gauge that based on who you are and who your SO is. Do you believe that this person cares for you unconditionally and would be able to accept you even with the revelation? You also need to consider whether they might not be accepting now but would be in the future. Or in the reverse which is a really difficult situation.
In short, it's complex and only you can make the decision to take the leap or not. However you decide to go, I wish you nothing but the best.
Only you know you, and your SO, Michelle. There's no doubt, if it goes well, it's the best! No hiding, no guilt and instant feedback if she's ok with seeing you dressed. I have never, ever been bored with crossdressing, be it just a comfy dress and fluffy slippers, or full glam, and I have the attention span of a firefly.
However, if it does not go well, worst case -relationship gone!
It's tempting, when you see all the positive stories here, to think that'll happen for you too. And well it might, the choice, I'm afraid, is yours 😱. Know though, that we're here for you whatever you decide and please keep us posted.

@love2cross69 Your profile indicates that you are just dating. Depending on what you know now about your SO, you might want to assess her reaction to, say, watching a movie that is about crossdressing or has crossdressing scenes. Kinky Boots or To Wong Foo or Adventures Of Priscilla - Queen of the Desert. You may have to hunt for these, but any of them would give you a chance to discuss the topic. Just be prepared to truthfully answer some direct questions from her. You may gain an ally. If not, then you know where you stand. Are you willing to risk this?
This can't ever be easy for most CDs and each couple is different, but, ultimately, it's your call. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Or else it all blows up.
Good luck and I hope that it works out for you because having to be sneaky really isn't fun.
@love2cross69 Is it worth the risk? Only you can really answer that one but if the outcome is positive I very much doubt you would get sick of it, probably just the opposite. Good luck if you take the chance.
@love2cross69 I can only speak from my experience,and I'd have to say that since my wife is very supportive, it was completely worth it. And if I want to dress, I dress, or if I want to be in guy -mode, I can do that too. So far, it's been three years since I told my wife and I can't ever see myself getting sick of it. I wish you the best with whatever you choose.
Hugs, Jill
Would you get sick of crossdressing?
No!
None has ever got bored of being a crossdresser. Your desire to crossdress will vary from time to time, but you won't get bored.

I asked myself that question three and a half years ago after I came out to mine and she gave me her blessing to dress how and whenever I wanted.
As Cerys says, no you don't get sick of it. In fact I still get that same thrill when I get dressed, but there is no longer the 'fear of discovery'. Just go with the flow Michelle and be who you are 🙂
Michelle -
Everyone is different so there is no easy answer to your question. However, for me I don't get bored and in fact wish I had more time to be able to enjoy dressing. My wife is accepting to a point. There are ties she will invite Suzanne to spend the day but that is infrequent. When that happens I'm ecstatic. I do spend my mornings dressed in some way which is fun as I'm here. Nothing better that talking with my girlfriends when dressed. Even when I'm not able to dress I can still shop online or in stores, go for mani-pedi's, wear jewelry and such that give me a femme feeling. Personally I don't think I could ever get bored with dressing.

I never get sick of it as dressing all the time being in the circumstances I am in. It can become the norm but each day an outfit has to be picked for work, rest or play or just put together in a rush, the feel and delight never goes away.
Michelle, for me it never gets old. Would love to dress every day. My SO goes hot and cold. After a recent melt down, the next morning she apologizes for the mean things she said. During the week we talked, I asked if on days we are not going out, could I dress after work and requested thar she lay out what she wanted for the look of the night. I would like it more if she was a part of it. Still waiting.

I can't imagine my wife not knowing, but she has known from the beginning 40 yeats ago. I am not bored with dressing, nor with her knowing.
I syarted out undrerdressing and she has always known. As I expanded my dressing and experimentrd with outerwear I kept it to myself, but I quickly realized I wanted to dress more, so told her. I did not want to hide things and sneak about. She is fine with it and I don't have to worry about being caught. For some, I imagine the trill of hiding it may be part of the allure of dressing, and I enjoy going out in public, and no doubt that is a factor, but not with my spoise.
@lovetocross69 If you do tell her, you'll also gain the calm and peace of mind that comes from not guarding a secret 24/7. It's a bigger freedom than you might think, so put that on the other side of the risk scale, too.
I agree with all the lady’s it’s definitely a peace of mind not hiding it from her eventually you forget to put something away or in the wash and she finds it then it’s harder to explaine who’s women clothes she found I never got sick of crossdressing I’m still doing it today definitely something to consider TC
In answer to your question: 'will I get sick of it?' As always, it depends.
If you dress because you like it a lot and would like to progress, preferably with the ok of your SO, then no, you probably won't become tired of it. However, if you only dress because it is a secret and you only do it because it's a little naughty and similar to other 'naughty' things you have done but no longer do, then yes, it might start to bore you if you no longer have to hide it and the thrill wears off. Only you can answer that question.
Personally, I do it because it's a hobby and a bit of fun so there is always a chance that it could wear a bit thin and my that interest might start to go elsewhere (I doubt it, but never say never). For others, however, it's a life-long compulsion or desire and the thought of being without it is anathema; you will know in which camp you fall (or somewhere in between).

I really can't answer your question Michelle for two reasons.
1. I virtually live full time as a woman and intend to do so as long as I can. Getting sick of it is something I don't ever expect to occur. So my situation is totally different that yours.
2. No one can really answer that question but you. We don't know you or your wife or exactly what kind of relationship you have. You have to figure out what's best for you both.
I wish you the best.
I did an experiment during the lockdown of COVID to prove to myself that I wouldn't want to transition (I was better than 90% certain but it helped answer the question, How can you be sure?), and to see if I would grow tired of doing it. While I didn't dress full time, I was dressed at least 90% of the time for a few months, and I didn't grow tired of it at all.
With regard to telling your SO, many people have said that only you know her best. I'm going to look at it from another angle. What's the cost if you DON'T tell her? When she finds out (even if it's years later) it will likely be at a bad time, with her feeling hurt, that you're hiding something, and with her imagination running wild before she confronts you. If you do tell her, it can be at a time of your choosing when tensions aren't high, when you can answer questions without hurt feelings. I'm not saying you have to do it right away, but there is a danger if you don't say anything too.
I told my wife 14 years ago, still married but in name only.
Lost my wife's trust and respect, and it wasn't worth it to me.
As always, a frequent and difficult question to answer. Here is my thought. If you believe, deep in your heart, that dressing and presenting as a woman is clearly part of who you are and is something you will never be able to fully deny then the answer, for your own sanity, is yes, you share this with your SO. Otherwise you're left with a life of secrets and hiding which rarely ends well. Does anyone really want to live a life of secrecy and the associated shame and guilt that comes along with it. Revelation tends to be a "love" test. I told my SO five or six years ago and I believe our relationship is stronger for my honesty with her.
Best of luck Michelle, you'll do whatever you ultimately think is best.
