Yes I do this.. Your Alpha male no one would mess with the typical sporty Dad and hard working respected bloke in work who no one would suspect uses Cross dressing for escapism and to unwind and relax.
I watched a video earlier when working from home it mentioned us Alpha types over compensating manliness and how we "act" as men due to the guilt of being cross dressers even to the point of sometimes making excuses not to dress such as I can't shave as have something on and need to look manly. Tick in the box from me.
Thursday my only realistic chance to dress maybe this side of September with the kids 2 weeks left in school so I should dress for the sake of it but will I over complicate and over compensate and not dreams then regret it.
Must admit the last 18 months without any quality Davina time really sucks but this overcompensating rings true.
It took me a long time to get to a point where the guilt is no longer there, and that really made a difference! I was for many years in a very manly profession and even though I shied away from the "banter" I I could never bring myself to challenge the attitude. It did mean in many ways I did over compensate, I refused to do certain things because "that's a woman's job" or I refused to wear clothes I thought were not manly, for years I was the only one in work wearing a shirt and tie, I never wore jeans or trainers, only smart trousers and polished black shoes. One thing that did happen was that Covid came along and I spent less time in the office and more at home, so now I dress in clothes (male) that are more comfortable and don't feel I have to "set a standard" or be the obvious bloke. Now the wife knows I dress I don't feel I have to put up that front as much as I used to, and it is nicer!
The only issue is as you say, finding time to dress, the other day I ordered a new dress after discussing it with the wife and it arrived yesterday. I am hoping both kids go out tomorrow for a few hours so I can actually try it on!
