I think that knowing each other boundaries is important. It maybe on occasions that boundaries can and need to be pushed but they should always be respected. If somebody feels uncomfortable then sometimes a step or two back maybe necessary.
I think that it is important that we, on here, also repsect boundaries and do not try to push people too far. There has been quite a bit of good natured banter going on over the last week or so but sometimes this can be inturpreted by people on the outside as peer pressure. I think we're comfortable in knowing enough about each other not to take it in the wrong way but somebody reading for the first time maybe a little perturbed.
I stopped posting on another site because of peer pressure that was created with people being pushed to progress further down the crossdressing line. Here we could discuss serious issues around crossdressing in order to help people facing it for the first time.
Whilst everyones opinion is valued and the different routes people have found to coping and finally embrassing it are great they should not be seen as the only solution.
It would be great if some of the really important subjects raised could be kept at the front of the forum as 'stickies' or that they could be added on to the main blog so peole can access them easily.

We have a good mix in here of experiance and acceptance and ways of accepting.
I look forward to more chats in 2018 and helping new members

Hi Hannah
I'm glad you decided to stay. Your opinion is always welcome and having different perspectives helps to make the forum informative. Your route to acceptance isn't one I've really seen before which is why it is so refreshing that you contribute.
Katie

Hi Hannah
Wasn't directly pointed at you. I just think everyone needs to go at their own speed and I was worried that if people are rushed then sometimes there are consequences. From reading Sindy's post she went for it early on in her marraige but it changed and she began to resent her husbands crossdressing. I think if you go to far beyond your comfort zone then this can happen.
I've seen crossdressers get carried away and if our other half gets swept along in the pink fog too then it may not have a happy ending.
I get totally that it has worked for you and I'm really pleased that you feel so liberated by it but it won't work for everyone. I think people need to find their own path and yours is obvioulsy one of the many.
Katie
I take it this is pointed at me.
Sorry all
My aim is to help here also and i guess what worked for me may not work for everyone nor what i get out of my husband crossdressing.
Sometimes its good to skip the angst and go direct to the fun some need that helping hand but maybe the kink i enjoy went a little too far so i appologise.
Maybe some will follow this path but i guess most just want to find their level of acceptance.
Hannah (Wife)
Well put Katie
I guess the reason we dress is different were not all the same and how wives and girlfriends find and maintain and even grow acceptance And for some enjoyment are different thinking of how the wives in here have various levels of acceptance including Sindy and my wife compared to Rebecca and Emma and Hannah seems more unique in the coping mechanism she's found.
It's good to see the diversity in acceptance and coping with crossdressing which is why I've never removed anything from the blog but will if people feel it's gone beyond the boundaries of the Forum.. just let me know.
As for the top posts give me a list and I'll see if more permanent helpful links can be added to the main page here.
