Hi everybody! I’ve always had a desire to crossdress, but I finally started exploring in private a few months ago. I’ve been very closeted and ashamed, but yesterday my wife found out. She seems supportive, but totally off guard. I’ve been in some very masculine occupations, and she never saw it coming in our over 20 years together. I’m looking for friends and emotional support.

Gina, you've found the best place for friends and support, emotional, practical and I can never remember the third thing but that's not important right now.

Welcome to our amazing community, spend even a little time here and you may remain closeted but no longer ashamed. If that sounds like a bold statement, just wait 😊.

This place, or rather the girls who make it what it is, encourages and enables real life changes, so many of us are living proof of that.

I found and joined CDH 10 months ago, after decades of feeling alone and "wrong". Of suffering the same guilt and shame most of us have at sometimes in our lives. I've made real friends here, I'm now proud of who I am and I'm the better person for accepting my feminine side.

You are among like-minded sisters now and will have all the help you need, just ask.

In the meantime, enjoy exploring!

Hi Gina

Welcome to CDH 🙂

You've just joined the best CD/TG community anywhere on the internet. You're already discovering that it's a very friendly and supportive community 🙂

Wanting to explore your feminine side is nothing to be ashamed about, nor does it carry any implications at all about either sexuality or gender. It's also much more common than many people realise - we have 46K members here who will tell you just that! The important thing to realise is that you're not alone.

There's lots to explore here. Have fun looking around, and if you need help with anything at all don't be afraid to ask.

Hugs

Hello Gina, welcome to CDH.

You won't find a friendlier, more supportive and more understanding place anywhere on the net to talk about all things ctossdressing.

Feelings of shame and guilt are very common amongst us, so rest assured you are not alone. It's good that your SO seems positive towards your dressing. It'll have come as quite a shock to her, but now she knows, the best thing you can do is talk about it with each other.

If you have questions or need  specific advice. don't hesitate to ask here.

@gina5 Hi Gina!  I'm sorry for the range of emotions that you have experienced relative to crossdressing.  I started out that way too but with the help of a psychologist, I have managed to get past it and accept that this is who I really am.   The best advice I can give relative to your wife is to go slow.  Hopefully, she will prove to be truly supportive but as you say she never saw it coming so it will be an adjustment for her as a minimum.  I hope that you will come to an understanding soon where both of your needs are met.  In the meantime, explore CDH and you will see that there are many others who have had experiences like yours and can offer ideas that can be of help to you.

Gina -

Welcome to CDH. I think it is fair to say we've all been where you are. You will find this to be a supportive place to get advice and share your journey. One thing I've learned over the years is that there is no right or wrong, you do what you are comfortable with. We are each on our own journey.

XOXO

Welcome Gina. This is a very supportive place to share stories, information and advice. As someone who came out to their wife recently I would say “Take it slow”. I’m moving slowly but surely into a complex, not thrilled situation with my wife. It’s like a DADT situation. She knows but does not want to see Traci. Hang in there and reach out to us any time. Hugs, Traci

Welcome to CDH Gina we're happy to have you. With your SO be upfront and honest and don't overwhelm her all at once. My SO is accepting with limitations and when I overwhelmed her all at once it led to complications. But it is all better now that we sat down and had a discussion.
