When I dated my wife crossdressing was next to nothing.

We moved in together it was scarce.

We got married it was still scarce.

She asked to dress me as a woman and put makeup on me.

That escalated and ignited my crossdressing.

I think if I'd told my GF/Then wife of my crossdressing when dating we'd not have made it to husband and wife for the sake of the few times per year back then I tried things on.

It doesn't compare to presenting fully fem now.

We all have different reasons and extents to dressing.

It's bliss when a wife accepts but we always want to assure our wives were ok.
