Thanks Reginne. .My wife knows that I have returned. She doesn’t really approve and I keep my dressing from her. I think that she sees it as a selfish indulgence. She saw my eye makeup remover in the cabinet and said “I saw your eye makeup remover, nice! Maybe I’ll use it?“ in sort of an off hand snippy way. The last few weeks I have been dressing and putting on makeup Saturday morning when she goes to visit her mother. She phones me when she’s leaving her mom’s so I have time to change back to boy mode. 

I have been buying clothes and shoes and working on my makeup. There’s no longer any shame or guilt, just self acceptance. Yesterday I felt so good about dressing and getting made up. It was just too short a time. A little more than an hour. Navigating this new/old part of my life is maddening. It felt so good and natural with a dress, stockings, and high heels putting on my makeup!

So, I’m not trying to be out there or include her, but it’s not a secret. I suppose that I should use those comments as a starting point for discussion.

Hi Jenni, great introduction, welcome here, I'm new as well.

Thanks Katey, My wife knows that I have returned to crossdressing. She doesn’t really approve and I keep my dressing from her. I think that she sees it as a selfish indulgence.

Hi Jenni, welcome to CDH (I'm new here as well) I love how out going you are. Makeup, ugh I can't get it right, I just don't know how to properly do it. I still keep it a secret. I have only been here a very short time and I love it here. I have met some wonderful friends. Hugs - Katey

Yes, I would(but that's just me). Tell her that this is a discussion that needs to happen? explain how it makes you feel, and whether or not you eel gay feelings, and re-assure her of your love for her.
Only you can determine the course your talk takes, and that all depend on her reactions.
Holding your hand from afar,
