hello Raquel. welcome to C.D.H. its fantastic your wife lets you dress up and wants to take you out to buy cloths. wish my wife would do that. she does now but rather not see me even thou i try to have her see me dressed up. i dress up and have my male cloths over them and what a feeling. the bra strap over my shoulders and around my back is a great feeling, nylons gives me a leg message and the lacy panties with pad feel sensational, the dress feels nice and great fit, but its not the same to show how pretty i am as a female dressed up. but it gives me my fem side a brake and be out even tho i am wearing male cloths.  i buy my own female stuff in stores and on line. i have to watch it for i have 2 adult kids living at home still, so my dressing up is limited.   well any ways feel free to read other posts and news feeds, groups, forums and get to understand and yes we are not alone. we are not freaks as other people think we are.  we are just showing our fem side just like real woman show their manly side by dressing up in male cloths

Hi Raquel what a wonderful introduction & how great that your wife is so accepting. I also am married with two young children but my wife, while she knows I dress more tolerates it than accepts it. Welcome to our community hun

This is such wonderful news!  And you are lucky to be supported by your wife and friend!  My wife is my makeup and fashion consultant and she always steers me the right way!

So, how did you decide which friend to tell (in addition to your wife)?  I've only told my wife and want to tell someone else, but its so hard to know who to trust.

I'm sending you a friend request right now!

Enjoy that your wife has not just accepted this but is supportive.

This is a powerful and scary moment for me. I am Raquel, and I have denied this part of me for as long as I can recall. I turned 40 recently (happily married with 2 beautiful kids) and decided that this is not a life worth living, if I don’t introduce myself to the/my world (currently that is my wife, this forum, 1 friend…baby steps). I have purged this part of me more times than I care to recall, had an affair to try and confirm my “manhood” but nothing has helped. So I come here to begin again, but with the truth of who I am and to find my true self in all her beauty. What I have read so far fills me with the knowledge that I am not alone. Your stories resonate with me to my core and I feel comforted. My wife said she has suspected for a long time, that I crossdress and immediately arranged that we go shopping (I am a lucky girl). Our mutual girl friend was very happy for me and has decided to be my designated fashion guru. I feared this coming out for so long, yet those that love me have accepted me, small a group as it is. I look forward to chatting and getting to know you ladies and will post a pic soon.

Morning Zoe,

Thank you for the friend request. Telling our mutual friend was discussed at length. Both my wife and i thought it would be essential for either of us to have a confidant, who "knows it all" to talk to when we were struggling with issues or just needed to bitch, or ask for help. My wife encouraged me to talk to Tamara, but i must say I took 2 months to build up the courage. We made a date for coffee at a small coffee shop and managed to go through with it. Bonus is that Tamara is an image consultant and being from Europe, not as conservative as my other friends. She was so excited for me it took me by surprise. so know she has offered me help with my look and is in the process of organising a girls night for the 3 of us.......I am truly blessed and cant wait to go and party with my wife and friend

You story is inspirational. I've had similar experiences: I'm 36, married, and have gone through multiple purges. I've been seriously grappling coming completely clean to my wife about my love for CDing. I think she has some degree of suspicion after she confronted me about a pair of my panties she found (which I had a hell of a time explaining away that they were mine & I wasn't cheating).

Anyways, I'm happy for you, your successful coming out, and supportive wife. I hope I end up as fortunate as you.

Thanks for your story.
