Hi Ladies,
From reading the posts here and other places, my story seems to be unique. I never dressed or even considered it until very recently, last couple of months lol. I’m 46 married 2 kids business owner. At only 5′ 8″ 150lbs its seems that I’ve had to work extra had to make it in the alpa dog male world. Consequently, I’m also a very type A personality in my guy world. What I found is that when dressed it is a WONDERFUL break from the stress of my daily life. It is the only way I’ve found to get out of my head and leave the worries and stress behind. Also, it feels so nice to dress up and look sexy and hot, something I never feel as a guy!
Before I started I told my wife what I was considering, after reading the stories of what some girls have been through. She was blind sided, but said she would support me. She did put a “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy in place though and I understand her perspective. I love my wife and hope over time this will change, and the vulnerability I feel in sharing this with her can add to the intimacy of our relationship.
I don’t know where this journey will lead me. Whether this is a new hobby where the perfect eye makeup = shooting a great round of golf, or something deeper. I do know that in fighting my way through life and striving to build the life I want for my family, I feel like I’ve had to suppress or dial back the more tender feminine parts of myself to get ahead. When I’m dressed it feels like I can celebrate those parts of me. By adding this to the mix I can finally just be me, sometimes in heels and makeup celebrating my femininity, sometime in male mode kicking ass in the business world and life in general. Sorry for the long post, but it feels soooooo good to put this out there and just be me.
Hugs
