Feeling A Bit Depressed


Guest Sandy

Hi everyone....Just want to air out a little. I came out to my wife about two and a half years ago. [we have been married almost 30 years] She accepted who I am, but has completly not wanted to talk about it. I keep my clothes in the closet, out of sight, towards the end. The only time I can dress is if I get home for work early and my daughter is taking a nap. [Older daughter 25yrs] She has seen me a couple of times and has even told me that I look nice. I so wish I could talk with my wife some more. I kept this a secret for so long that I thought I would explode. Now that I have told her and now that we still can't talk about it. I'm feeling as depressed as when it was a secret. When she gets home and with a cry of relief,she removes her bra. With a cry of relief,I wish I could put one on. I daydream all the time about us going shopping and hope

just one time she would ask me if she could help me pick out something. I so want her to understand that I can be all man, because the best part of my life is her. But I have that other person that wants to come out more and more. I'm so much more relaxed when I dress as Sandy. Everyone says to take it slow, sometimes I feel like I'm going backwards. Why does life have to be so confusing?

Thanks for listening

Sandy

Sandy,

You and I have a few things in common. I have been married for 29 years, we have two daughters, but, I am in the closet. I know my wife will be just like yours if I come out.

Here's what I do:

Back in the 60"s there was a song "Secret Agent Man" I think it was sang by Johnny Rivers. One verse said "they've given me a number and taken away my name. Secret agent man, secret agent man."

I am just that, oo secret agent man.

I keep my femme clothes locked up in my mechanics boxes and am planning on expanding by purchasing an new gun cabinet and keep every thing under lock and key. Secret agent man.

Maybe you might want to think about this awhile and see if something like this could help you out. ?

Thanks for responding Steveanna....Agent man won't work. I already came out of the closet to her. My frustration is that I want it to go much further and its like I haven't gone any further than when I told her 2 and a half years ago. I tried to be honest, I thought that was the right thing to do. Now I don't know anymore.

Sandy,

I think you need to create a secret about this, and let her think you have given up doing your femme side. Without a doubt, she does not want to accept what you have shared with her. I tell you the truth, I have the same situation. If you try secret agent man style, you will be more free, less doubts,and gain esteem. Our wives will do anything to stop our CD activity. The sad thing is, I can't even remember the last time my wife has even been in a dress. She usually is in pant suits. Kinda like Hillary Clinton. It's not lying, no more than being a real life agent, they too have to protect identity and secrets. I know my wife doesn't tell me everything that goes on in her days at the offices, etc.

Don't give in or up.

Brothers in America.

      Congratulations and Happy Anniversary!!!! A beautiful milestone.    I hope to see you tonight...I just have to stay awake long enough!!

      It's funny with photos isn't it, how we think we look in them vs. how we actually do look in them! I'm hopeless at smiling and I have to try really hard not to frown or look like a zombie. I'm never sure how I come across to others.   I had a moment late last night when my eldest daughter facetimed my wife for some now forgotten reason, and when I was handed the tablet and talking to her, I was fixated on my image in the corner. My hair was wild at the time, I was a bit tipsy and all I saw was a woman! I have no idea what she saw in that context. I'll probably never know.

      I hope to see you on the Zoom meeting tonight, April.  I might be late, since I am doing lights and sound for a play that opened last night.  I was home before ten last night, so I think I'll be able to make it.   Today is an anniversary for me.  Seven years ago today, I stood up at the weekly community kaffeeklatsch as <deadname> and announced that henceforth I would be Kathy.  It went as well as I could have imagined: there were some surprised looks, but no hostility and lots of support.  A whole layer of stress disappeared that day and has never come back.  (There have been other stresses, but that one is gone.)  I have been me full-time ever since that moment.

      This is a scarily accurate description of what I feel!   I hope I don't sound too schmaltzy by saying this, but I remember when I signed up to this forum last year, during the sign-up process the question is asked, "Why do you want to join TransPulse?" to which I wrote, "Looking for a home where I can freely write about my issues and interact with similar people."    I think I just found one. ❤️

      Loving this woman I am becoming.

      Good morning, everyone!! I was up early again - already on my third cup of coffee having walked/fed the dog and read the local paper.   We have a birthday party for a friend to go to this afternoon but no real plans otherwise.   I hope to be able to attend tonight's TGP Zoom session. It's been weeks since I've been able to participate with the illness/loss of our dog, two horrible colds in succession and our trip to chase the solar eclipse.   Have a wonderful day and look for the goodness in it.

      I think we tend to be overly critical of our looks, whether we're trying to express ourselves as masculine, feminine or anywhere along the gender spectrum. For me, I use photos as a way to track my progress, to help me find my style and look and to help me find ways to improve myself in posture, looks, make-up, style......   I didn't really think about our FB avatar being public but then realized that when people search they do see it.   Since I'm not out to anyone but my wife, therapist, priest and people here, my FB page remains "that guy." I have created a Bitmoji that is relatively androgynous moving slowly towards the feminine. Long gray hair, earrings, softer features...I'm transitioning it along with myself. :-)
