For those married and wife knows

Mine knows for quite some time now. She doesn't bring it up but since I'm living as a woman right in front of her all the time, she probably doesn't need to bring it up. She hasn't accepted it though. She is resigned to it, and has even given me necklaces, earrings, panties, skirts etc.

I feel I'm very lucky, but so you know, I caressed what I've showed her gradually.

many wives don't like it and have a lot of trouble dealing with transgender.i belong to a group and we have discussed it many times.The most important thing is not to leave her out.talk,explain  tell her what you plan..some will except if it's not shoved in their face.some will say do what you want ,leave me ot.some may come around.first you have to know where you are going.dressing sometimes.or operation.my group has work on this question.there are many places you can go to. good luck  judy

Hi Christy, my wife knows about me. Although at first she was understandably shocked  she has now accepted me as Claire. In fact she encouraged me to make the change.  At Christmas and birthdays she buys me clothes, perfume, wigs, jewellry, nothing that had to do with my previous persona. She understands my feelings and thinks that I am a nicer person since showing her my true self. We do not seem to need to talk about the past and enjoy our lives together as we are now.  I am 74 years young and told her 10 years ago. We have been married for 34 years. I realise how lucky I am. Naturally not everyone I know accepts the change but those important to me (kids, grandkids and of course my wife) are very supportive. Even my wifes best friend has taken me under her wing and treats me as one of the girls (we talk and text each other constantly about fashion, makeup and how more feminine  I  will become ).  Good luck  to you. Best wishes Claire.

Hi Claire

Thanks for your lovely response I’m pleased for you, I’m 66 been married 45 years I told my wife about 13 years ago after she’d confronted me about a web site she’d noticed me on and first asked me if I was gay, I told her no but that I’d always felt I was born in the wrong body and really I was female she initially couldn’t except it and said perhaps we should split as she couldn’t live with a woman well 13 years later were still together so really she is I initially self medicated on hrt only a small dose but enough to make some changes in my body and mind she as said she can’t look at me but she does my biggest challenge is I have multiple sclerosis and that limits what I can do and to give her due she looks after me despite everything my only delemia is that it’s difficult bringing the subject up with her hence my post.

xx Christy

Hi Christy, thank you for lovely reply. I do not have any contact with other transgender women and it was lovely to hear from someone of a similar age who knows the tribulations we go through. My wife is now severely disabled and therefore we cannot do the things that we used to do. Our passion was musical theatre and holidays. I have not been on feminising hormones although I have been assessed as being transgender by the NHS, circumstances prevented me from completing my treatment at the Gender Clinic in Sheffield. I really wanted to have a more feminine body. My wardrobe is 90% female and I feel euphoric when I put on my makeup,  dresses and perfume. You can perhaps understand my feelings. Anyway it has been lovely talking  to you, good luck for the future. Claire.

Years ago when we first got a computer I randomly decided to see how many other males loved to dress in panties, pantyhose or garter belts with stockings. When I got a response there was literally thousands of other males and loved to show pictures. What a thrill! I had to get off the computer and failed to log out of the website. When the wife logged in she got a shock of a male in lace panties on the screen. When I got home her only comment was look all you want but she didn't want to see it. We, years later upgraded to a laptop with a camera. When she was out I would chat and cam with others dressed in panties, pantyhose,or garter belts with stockings. She was okay with it. She just wasn't interested in being part of it.
