Emailled to me to publish from a wife of a Crossdresser from her experience not wanting to post herself but giving me permission to post on her behalf.

When He Told Me I remember the moment vividly. He was nervous. I could see the tension in his eyes. When he said the words, "I crossdress," my mind spun. It wasn’t anger or disgust that I felt. It was confusion. Fear. A thousand questions raced through my mind: Why? For how long? Does this mean he's not attracted to me anymore? Is he gay?

But I saw his vulnerability. This was hard for him. He was trusting me with something deeply personal. And I knew in that moment, I could either react with fear or love. I chose love.

Discovering Her - Meeting her I didn’t meet "her" right away. It took time. Eventually, he introduced me to her. I won’t lie—it was strange at first. Seeing my husband with makeup, a wig, and dressed in clothes I might wear. But there was something in her brown eyes I recognised: kindness, sensitivity, and a desire to be understood.

And oddly, a softness in her that sometimes wasn’t there in him. It made me wonder: is this his true self? Or just a part of who he is?

When Others Noticed Her When he shared photos of her online, the compliments rolled in. Some from other crossdressers. Some from women. But most from men. Men who called her beautiful. Sexy. Tempting.

It felt like a punch in the gut.

I never expected to feel this threatened by my husband’s female persona. But there it was—insecurity, doubt, discomfort. I didn’t want to feel that way. But I did.

Talking It Through We had hard conversations. I cried. He listened. He explained how it felt to be admired as her, not out of vanity, but because it helped validate the effort and beauty he felt inside.

He assured me he wasn’t interested in men. That this wasn’t about sex. But I needed to hear it more than once.

I needed to feel secure again. Not in his love for me, but in my place beside him—with her now part of our life.

Learning to Share With time, I’ve learned to share. Not in the way you might think. I’m not sharing my husband with another person. I’m sharing him with a side of himself that brings him peace and joy.

I still struggle with the attention she gets. I still feel that protective flare when men message him. But I also see how happy She makes him. And how safe he feels letting her be seen.

What I Know Now Crossdressing doesn’t mean he’s not my husband anymore. It doesn’t mean he loves me less. It doesn’t mean he’s confused about who he is.

It means he’s brave enough to be all of himself.

And I’m brave enough to love him through it.
