Hey everyone,
Not sure where to start. I’m in my early 40s, but have always been interested in womens clothing. I’m very happily straight. Happily married to an amazing woman with a 6 month old daughter. No desire to transition or anything like that. I just like womens clothing. I think mens clothes are kinda boring. The ladies get all the fun,colorful outfits. Why should the boys be deprived of this?! So that’s my take on it. I’ve never told anyone about this before. Until recently I told my wife, and she was ok with it. At least I think she was, she says she’s ok with it. But has not ever asked to see me in any of my outfits. I’ve never gone out in public dressed up, don’t know if I ever will. So I just get dolled up at home when I’m alone. I love how I feel dressed up, but I just don’t know what else to do with this whole thing now. I’m all ears if anyone has anything to add. Thanks everyone.Hi Josephine. I agree with you womens clothing is way better. I love the fabrics the lace the colors and the feel of it all. I tossed out all my boxers and only wear panties. To be honest having an overflowing panty drawer is awesome.
See if your wife is open to doing some shopping together. I do that with my fiancée and she gives me insight and tips. She also comes into the changing rooms to help and say yes or no.
Also you could see if you wife is open to giving you a makeover that would be fun for you and her. Mine has done 3 for me along with teaching me how to do my own makeup. We even went wig shopping together.
I think by your profile you may live close enough to go to Transformations by Rori in Arlington Heights. I am not sure if there are any other options near you.
Either way the options are unlimited. Just go slow and enjoy it all just keep you family first.

Hi Josephine and welcome to CDH! You will find such amazing women here and learn so many great things about the love of crossdressing and about yourself. Through this site I was introduced to a crossdresser support group that meets weekly and offers great friendships with other girls like me.
There is nothing like slipping on that special skirt and blouse and looking in the mirror. It’s wonderful that you told your wife and she seems accepting. It really is something a couple can enjoy together. I love to get dressed and go out shopping or driving and of course finding something special that I just have to have.
Hugs,
Sandy
Hi Josephine, and welcome from another Illinois girl now living in Arizona. I think you will be surprised how many of us here at CDH are like you, happily married but still willing to explore our feminine natures. Frankly, I think you are handling the situation with your wife beautifully. Not ‘overdoing it’ but rather taking ‘baby steps’ and ‘testing the water’ to see how accepting she is and will become. There are so many misconceptions as to why many of us choose to follow our passion of crossdressing. Unfortunately, it is these stereotypes which have caused many people to view crossdressers in a negative light. Of course, as you may or will discover, many in the trans community tend to consider us not “TRANS” enough. Regardless, it is more about how YOU feel, and how being Josephine has positively affected your life that is important. And that is what I would concentrate on! I look forward to seeing how you progress in your journey. Hugs, Paulette
Josephine, as you read our responses to your article, you will realize we give friendship, support, and suggestions to your CD journey.. so glad you told your wife…. My wife knows but prefers I dress in private and “don’t ask don’t tell” works for us
Again welcome and please read the informative forums on the CDH website…. Regards, LeonaraWe are all at different stages me. I am full time girl 👧 and I have been that way since I was 9 till now at 62 join in and get to know the girls 👧
Hi Josephine, lovely ladies here, helpful, caring. With a loving partner and new born, a lot of great times ahead. Mixing and matching clothing styles, female and male is one way. A jumper or coat over a bra, blouse etc works well. Unisex jeans, or female jeans.
Foundation, face cream to give you a lift, lip balm, coloured if you like. These are some options.
But you can choose for yourself. I wish you well.
JaneMy guess is possibly speaking to your wife about how she feels, you mention she has never asked to see you your outfits, and really she is the only one who can answer that question. You will need some support, or at least some acceptance and discussion about what is and isn’t okay, if you want to do more than dress up indoors. Nobody else can say anything useful, its only about the both of you and how you both feel about the outcome of that chat.
Talking isn’t in itself pressure to do or not do anything, it’s just honest conversation about the needs each of you have, and questions too. Maybe she has questions and doesn’t want to ask. If that is the case you can show you care by making her comfortable to speak to you, and answer her questions which will help her understand her own feelings

Josephine much of what you have said in whole or in part has similarities in many of our girls here. To enjoy the company of so many in different levels of there dressing it’s allowed us to explore this wonderful passion and at a place so comfortable and caring .
I’m sorry about your silent from your wife. It does happen to many as myself did tell my wife back then. Eventually we did have that talk and discussed many issues but in time agreements and guidelines were set and my love to express my self became more prevalent. it’s a long process which includes family with kids. Mind you grown but all the difficult. I hope it time this can be found as it’s a long road. Here you have many to chat with and best of all make wonderful friendships with. I enjoy meeting with so many lovely ladies and please say hi with are paths ever cross. Welcome.
