The Wife's View
A Crossdressers Secret Garden I am a gg wife, and I am a member of several wife-only groups of trans husbands, some cd'r's, some ts's, and in MANY cases where THE WIFE/GF "outs" the husband/bf "involuntarily", i.e., by finding his "stash", or, by seeing his internet history, or, by finding her own garments stretched or soiled, or, by intercepting a retail shipment of some sort, the husband/bf/cd'r does NOT want to talk about it, and is ANGRY about her "snooping", etc, furious, often. So I would think of this from a different angle, the reason why these guys do not want "to talk" is because THEY did not "choose" the time and place. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Well... I brought up this subject to my spouse, by saying, "some of the
TG-Christian group are wondering about talking to their spouse. What is your
take on it?" I married my hubby knowing that he dressed and that it would not stop. One of the first things that he had to agree to was that we would talk to each other. We have been together off and on for 30 years. Part of the reason we couldn't stay together was he refusal to talk about ANYTHING. I thought that if he could actually talk to me about the dressing and feelings that go along with it we could talk about anything. It took us almost 2 years to get to that point. There are still days I have to "pry it out of him", but he does try. I think the more he finds out that he is not going to be rejected or made fun of the more confident he feels about talking. His ex-wife used it to belittle him and destroyed most of his self esteem by repeatedly blackmailing him by threatening to "tell" on him. After one of her fits I offered her my parents phone number to tell them first we have heard basically nothing from her. Woman that behave like her give the rest o us a bad name!!!!!!!! ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ While reading mail from my group, I came across your note. I am a wife of a cder. I have only known for 6 weeks. I agree with the fact that there are a lot of men who do not talk to their spouses. My situation is that we have been married for 20yrs, and he claims he just recently (past year) knew he was a cder. I felt something was up and basically caught him and found out more than i needed to know. My first instinct was anger, for the simple fact that he lied for so long. I told him he had to come clean with everything or else. I sat there and listened to what he had to say (without passing judgment on him or how he felt) and then i started asking questions about what he felt like and questions about what he had been going through. He kept looking at me as though he were waiting for me to make fun of him. I made him aware that i wanted to know more about this to help him, and he seemed so much more relaxed with me. I think maybe a lot of men fear that they will be made fun of or they wont be accepted for something they cant control. If we tell them we love them for who they are on the inside and not what they wear, they would feel a little more at ease and maybe even less likely to lie or be so angry. I know I am a little long winded, but its just my two cents worth. |
