I'm a 72-year old cross-dresser with no hope of ever passing -- but my wife is very understanding (if a little amused). I was in stealth mode for the first 10 years or so of our marriage, but finally came out -- with the usual recriminations, grief, suspicion that I was gay (I'm not), and all the other things. But, fortunately, my wife saw that nothing had changed -- except that she found that I am a much more agreeable person to be around when I'm dressed, so that was a big factor in her accepting me as Jeri. Not that I'm a wife beater or anything -- I just have a much shorter time period before beginning to cuss and throw things as a male than as a female. She appreciates my seeing both sides of the sexual/gender arguments and being a little bit of a female friend for her. I'm retired now (or permanently out of a job) and the kids are gone, so I can dress whenever I want. Strangest thing, though -- about six months ago I lost all desire to dress. I didn't throw anything away (doing that ONCE was enough), but I did box up everything (lots of boxes) and stopped everything but wearing panties all the time. I'm beginning to get back into it again slowly, with an urge to wear at least a bra with breast forms and a dress (lipstick, earrings, etc.), but I haven't yet been able to accept any requests of friendship from here, yet. Please be patient with me -- I don't know what the deal is, either. Anyway -- I'm happy to be here and you seem to be a great bunch to be with. Thank you!
Take your time settling in Jeri, there's no rush to do anything here. We're usually a pretty supportive bunch so when you are ready to start exploring what CDH has to offer we'll be ready to answer any questions you or your wife might have. She is as welcome here as you are.
As for friendships, never feel compelled to accept a request just because it's been sent to you. I like to get to know people before I send or accept friendship requests, just like I do in that other world we have to engage in.
CDH is about comfort, support and acceptance. It's a happy and safe place so, welcome and enjoy.
Hi Jeri and welcome to CDH.

Hi Jeri and welcome! This is a wonderful space where you will meet and chat with a truly wonderful sorority of gals who support, and understand each other. The people and resources on here are amazing, and have been incredibly helpful to me in figuring out exactly who I am, and I am sure it will do the same for you.
Dive into the site at your own pace and have fun with it! Glad you're here with us!
