Well I Did It


Guest

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone. Well it has happened. I dressed for my SO. Last night (Sunday) at 5 pm. We talked about it first and covered a lot of ground. Right before I went in to change into Amber I asked her if she wanted to help and she said no. This made me very unsure but I wasn't going to turn back. I felt I couldnt. I thought this would show weakness on my part. I looked through my things. Picked out the new dress I had got last week. Stockings heels and light jewelery with my wig. I checked myself over and over in the mirror. I was pleased with the results. I stood in the bedroom for what seemed like an eternity. My heart was racing and I was shaking all over. I must of started down the hall way a half dozen times towards the living room and ended up stopping each time. I got so nervous I ended up getting sick. I knew she was waiting so I mustered all the courage I had after cleaning myself up. I finally stepped out so ahe could see me. There I stood and did I ever feel her eyes on me. I attempted to ask her what she thought and she told me to be quiet. I felt like I was going to be sick again. Finally she said ok she had seen enough. I turned ran back to bath room and got sick again. I cleaned up again got changed and went back into the living room and sat down by her. I was trembling wondering what was going through her mind. She saw me shaking and asked why I was and I just told her I needed to know what she thought. She just said if that was what I wanted she would not stop me. Nothing else was said. Well I had to leave early this morning and head to Saint Louis. No good by or anything. I'm back in the hotel room. I did speak with her on the phone but she said nothing about last night. She did say she loved me which eased my nerves some. Maybe it's too soon. I know it's a lot for her to take in so I'm praying things will be ok when I get back home in a few days. I knew this could go one of two ways but I feel like I'm stuck in between somewhere. But in the back of my mind I feel I done the right thing. There's no more hiding and the truth is out. Knowing these two things will pull me through no matter what. I will keep everybody posted on what's happening. Thanks to all who has given input. Hugs. Amber

I will have you in my thoughts and prayers Amber. Coming out to my wife was the hardest thing i had ever done. I remember the feelings so well.

Hope all will go well for you and you can continue to share the love you have had with your wife and still be honest.

Hugs,

Charlize

I feel you did the right thing, regardless of the outcome. I wish my spouse would at least give me the chance to show her who I am inside. We don't even hardly talk about it. It has become the proverbial " elephant in the room".

Although, she did go away for the night recently and before she left she said " are you going to dress in women's clothes while I'm gone?" I replied, probably. And that was the end of the conversation.

Of course, I did. Went downtown window shopping, but that's a whole other story.

Best of luck!

Hi Amber

I hope things turn out well :)

My experience was a little different as I started very stealthily but I have a strong suspicion that my partner and son inspected my wardrobe and knew a long time before I said anything. It takes time!

      What do you do when you feel triggered?

      WEARINESS When stress from adverse or challenging events in life occur continually, you can find yourself in a state of feeling emotionally worn out and drained. This is called emotional exhaustion. For most people, emotional exhaustion tends to build up slowly over time.

      I am glad your schools are flush with excess spending money, but that is not the situation here in CA.  Back in 1978 an Initiative and Referendum law was passed that limited property taxes severely and basically cut funding from Property Taxes to pennies of the amounts needed to even minimally fund school districts.  Even the U.S. Supreme Court which upheld the law on Federal and Constitutional grounds nevertheless wryly commented in its decision that the state electorate had lost its collective mind in enacting the law.  Our schools are funded through the State's General Fund which receives other tax sources for creating the entire state budget. The General Fund and the legislature try to give  adequate funding  to the primary and secondary school districts as well as college districts and other obligations all from the same limited funds. There are also strict limits on assessing property taxes that actually prevent them from paying for other services directly affecting property ownership which is their proper place, and so even property related services come from our General Fund. Your property tax money seems to be ear-marked for schools which is wonderful and I hope they use it according to your thoughts, but as said we have a different problem out here in CA.  I love my state but do recognize its short comings.  Point of information, the tax law that is creating problems came from the same small area of the state as the proposed referendum on Trans Youth.

      The numbers of those negatively affected are significant and discouraging, but the good news is that "over half" of Trans youth live in safe states, and such states do exist.

      Seems like a reasonable agreement.  Seattle stays out of Texas, Texas stays out of Seattle.  Weird that the Seattle hospital had a business license in Texas...

      Seems to me the time and cost is already being spent....on lawsuits.  And schools are absolutely flush with cash, at least around here.  They get enough property taxes, they need to learn appropriate use of funds.  Buy a few less computers and a few more bathrooms, and spend less time on athletics and I'd bet you a hamburger that the issue would be solved in a year.   To me, it seems like the whole bathroom thing is like lancing a boil or a cyst.  A sharp initial pain, and done. People are just resistant to doing it.      I think I could solve most of it...but politicians get too much press off of this to want it solved.   1.  Universal use of individual, gender-neutral, private bathrooms 2.  Universal use of individual, gender-neutral, private spaces for changing athletic clothes 3.  Emphasize co-ed rather than gendered sports.  Focus on physical activity, good sportsmanship, and having FUN.  Lifelong enjoyment, not just competition. 4.  Ban for-profit athletic programs at highschool and college levels, and ban betting/gambling related to athletic programs at educational institutions. 5.  Affirm parental rights consistently, rather than treating it like a salad bar.  That means permitting gender-affirming healthcare with parental consent, AND prohibiting schools keeping secrets from parents.  Adopt the "paperwork principle."  If it is on paper, parents 100% have a right to know about it and be informed on paper, including names/pronouns if such are documented.  If it is verbal only, it is informal enough to be overlooked or discussed verbally if needed.
