Roberta's Brief Biography And Hello

[Guest RobertaLonely]

I am very new to Laura's Playground site but I am very hopeful that I will finally make some friends that I can discuss my feminine side issues and struggles with and not be chastised or embarrassed by the fact I love to wear feminine clothing and I have thoughts and fantasies of being a woman especially when I see a beautiful women or pretty girl!

Unfortunately, I had polio and never got the opportunity to dance in a beautiful dress or walk with high heels. In addition except for my lower extremities I am very big on top and small below my waist. I do not appear feminine by appearance but I love feminine things and that is my preference in clothing. My wife will allow me to do my thing as long as she never sees it! Before we went for counseling together she was not as effected by it, but now it is a total turn off for her and she doesn't want to see any of it!

It saddens me that I can't be accepted for who I am i to enjoy my life in every way that I love to and brings me pleasure!!

Whenever my wife leaves I get dressed up and I just love it! It always ends in a happy ending. I go into a delicious fantasy land and I hate for it to end and it hurts me not knowing when I will be able to do dress up again!

Being in a wheelchair and having a beautiful loving wife means a lot to me at this point in my life! Her not fully accepting me is understandable and at the same time is very hurtful to me!

I have so much to talk about but at this time I must go but I hope I will get an opportunity to hear from some of you that can relate to my issues or just want to say hello!

I Love you all!

Welcome to the Playground, Roberta. I can certainly promise you that no one in this place will chastise or embarrass you. We offer support, solid information, resources and friendship here. So please look around the various forums, post any questions, start a thread of your own, or offer support to others. The more you post, the more folks you'll meet, and the more benefit you'll get out of it.

I'm sorry that your wife isn't more supportive, and I know that it hurts. But at least she is staying with you, and allows you do dress as you need to. You seem to have made the best of it, and that is to your credit. I hope we can help you to blossom even more into the female side of your personality.

I look forward to hearing more from you. I do ask all our new members to please read the site Terms and Conditions, and you'll find a link at the lower right of each page.

HUGS

Welcome dear. I dressed as you do as much as i could. There were short periods that i stopped and then i went back to one thing that always made me feel better. I'm just saying this because i understand how you feel. I also know the feeling of shame. My wife, much as yours refused to even see me. To her i was terribly perverted. I hid all my activities for 41 years to the best of my ability. Somehow i finally was able to be myself. I can't say how exactly but things changed. It was hard on both of us but she did finally accept me as myself and i can live my life as the woman i am now.

You are amongst friends here. I'm glad you found us. Join us later behind the virtual swing set for some cookies.

Hugs,

Charlie

I am excited to be on this site and I'm not sure how we message each other or just enter a forum to meet people in any event I look forward to trying to be social which I am not and not very good at networking! Being alone or having at most one friend limits ones social skills and my social skills are not very good!

Thank You!

Hello Roberta and welcome to the community that is Laura's. All of us here can relate to everything you have written about. We have lived and worn your shoes, so we know how you are feeling. We are all here in support of one another because living in our minds and bodies, depending on our personal circumstances, we have a difficult life to live.

Roberta, I know how difficult things are for you in dealing with a great spouse who has no understanding of the gender anguish you feel. A gender therapist may be able to help you with your difficult circumstances. Give a therapist a chance to help you help your spouse understand what trans feelings are all about. So welcome to the playground. Kathryn
