Hello everyone

I meant to put this intro on before rambling on to another post but did manage it

so I’m Emma (well not really but I’m pretty sure this will be the only non-truth I say on here).

I‘M 40-several. I am happily married with 2 teenage daughters. I told my wife about this T-side of me before we got married, but felt I had to put it in the closet And for many years it wasn’t really a major issue, until it was. it sounds like the desire does increase as we head into our 40s - just when gravity starts to take hold (thanks nature)

Anyway, came out to my wife again earlier this year. She doesnt want to know anything about it, which of course is difficult as I want to have some conversations about it. A huge reason for me telling her again was I was stressed about the lying. Perhaps it is just time. I am fine wi her not meeting Emma, although I am curious about what she would think of my photos. I suspect she thinks I am a bloke in a dress, I hope I’m a bit better than that.

Overall though she is terrified of me being outed and the impact that could have on my career - which is quite dependant on reputation. But I have this desire and need to venture out - shall try and post something on this on the correct forum later. So it could be worse as I’m not looking for a divorce lawyer- one fear I did have.

I have gained so much insight from the various posts on here - so thank you to you all for posting. I hope I am able to contribute some helpful thoughts over time.

Well that’s enough of a random intro post.

Happy weekend

Emma
