sorry it’s been so long!
life as a house wife has been really crazy lately so I’ll tell you a little about my self first.
I’m 46 and married to a wonderful woman who knows i dress and is understanding. I’ve been dressing for as long as i can remember – I know I was only 7 or 8 when my mom found my stash of clothes (that was just too weird).
Stephanie Steps Forward
i always got along better with the girls than the guys anyway.
after school came the first marriage which didn’t work.
I have been through many purges throughout the years, as i was married the first time to a not understanding woman.
17 years of hiding. 17 years.
The crossdressing caused discontent for us and finally a divorce (she couldn’t get the fact that I’m not gay i just like dressing like a girl.)
On to better days!
The second marriage
My wife is awesome (as i said). she knows i dress and is ok with it as long as i ask first before i borrow any of her clothes (which is not often as i can keep my stuff in the closet now instead of having to hide all the time).
we’re still working on all this stuff, so there’s no boundaries crossed and i understand what she wants and what she needs but at the same time she tries to give me room to be who i am.
This is the short story version so if you have any questions just ask and i will try and answer. I’m not shy so don’t be afaid to ask!
Honestly, it just feels better getting all that out to someone interested in us and or way of life. I didn’t decide to be a crossdresser – it was decided for me.
i believe i was meant to be this way and i enjoy dressing as a woman and all that goes along with it.
Any questions anyone has, just let me know.
Have a great day and thanks for listening
Stephanie

Actually, I don’t know what “and all that goes along with it” means. I think it means different things to different people, so I’d like to know what Stephanie means by it.

ps…interesting blog, I intend to follow it
I don’t know how often Stephanie checks this post but I’ll see about emailing her and seeing if she’d like to respond to your comment.
I liked hearing about how important it is for you and your wife to feel like your boundaries are being respected. A simple need like having a place for your clothes in the closet, doesn’t seem like too much to ask. I’d compare it to having a room for your art materials, or homeschooling materials in my case…how frustrating it would be to be to keep all your inspiration tucked out of sight, just to please someone else. Creativity needs room to move!
