Hi all again, 

After around 14 months away, I’m now in a lot better place than I was. Married for 38 years with a supportive wife, well until 14 months ago. But after taking some advice concerning having the talk all over again, here we are again with her amazing support and blessing. Luckily I persuaded myself not to purge but pack away clothes etc, out of sight but not out of mind. What has prompted me seeking my wife’s approval is retirement is imminent and the thought having zero time to dress was a place I didn’t want to go. 

Thank you again for allowing me to share my journey 

 

Katie.

Hello Katie, and welcome back to CDH.

I'm so glad things have turned out so well with having your wife's support. That kind of love and understanding is worth its weight in gold.

Looking forward to hearing from you again. Take care.

Hi, Katie, welcome back!

Thank you for choosing to share your journey with us 😊.

I'm glad things are going well, and I agree, zero time to dress isn't somewhere I'd want to go either.

As always, just shout if you need anything.

Hi Katie, and welcome back.

I’m so glad to read that things have gone well with your wife, and that you’re in a good place.

I expect that you’re very glad that you didn’t purge.

That will have made getting back into things easier

Lucy

@lucyb112 Thanks Lucy, love your name, last night was the first time in dressing for supper, wow it was wonderful and I had the best nights sleep I've had for probably 12 months. Now where did I put that lipstick, lol Katie.

Hi Katie, lovely to hear the good news about your wife’s acceptance and support, and that you are back here as part of this wonderful place. I went through several years without cross dressing after retirement; I am so glad you have been able to avoid such years of desolation - well done.

@fembecky Thank you Rebecca, I didn't get much time to dress whilst I was working (WFH) so now retirement is looming I had to do something for my sanity. Luckily it worked out and now my wife is fully accepted Katie. She even asked what I call myself on CDH, haven't change it since last time and she liked it. Katie

Welcome back Katie 🙂

Just a thought, but I know that you're thinking about attending our CDH get together in Leeds on 1st August so I'll emphasise that SOs are more than welcome to come along.

The wonderful Laura New, an SO herself, is part of the team behind this event. We're very much thinking about involving wives and significant others as much as we can, and we already know of several who are planning to attend.

Hugs

Curiosity makes me wonder what happened fourteen months ago? However, the important thing is you are back in the fold.

@ab123 Angela, you are so right, not sure what I would have done if the result was a negative. If you do not ask you will never know. Katie.
