hello to everyone here

[Stanna]

Been lurking for a couple weeks now, thought I might share. I came out to my lovely wife last night, and I was very nervous and not sure how she would take the news. The only side of me she has seen for the 10 years we have been together has been the masculine part of me, suffice it to say I blew her mind! She looked at me and smiled, and said, is that all, I thought you were going to tell me you are going to leave me. It took her awhile to wrap her head around what I just told her, but then told me how much she loved me and will always be here for me no matter if or when I choose to transition. She is the most wonderful women and human being on this planet! How am I so lucky?   bye for now, and thanks to everyone on this board, reading your stories helped me to realize who I am, A GIRL!!

Hey!

Welcome to Susan's

[Stanna]

Thanks for the welcome!
Here is a little about me;   I started cross dressing as teenager, and it felt wonderful every time I did, but always was scared and ashamed of what I had done. I was always attracted to women, and got married to a wonderful girl that I did not confess my hidden secret. She found my stash 3 years latter and we soon got divorced. Move forward a few years, and met my 2nd wife, but this time confessed to her before marriage and she seemed ok with it, but I kept it mostly closeted to her. We had two wonderful boys who are grown now! After 20 years of marriage she decided I did not fulfill her needs and we divorced. Throughout this time I thought it would be wonderful to be a women, but knew that could not be right because I was a man
(guilt, shame). So I suppressed my thoughts and desires and proceeded on with life, and then met the love of my life. I did not tell her of my secret because I thought I had pushed those thoughts away. ( it seems stupid now that I could think that). About a month ago the light came on! I finally understood, that I am not a man who likes to wear women's clothes, I am a women who likes to wear women's clothes. Then a wonderful thing happened, I accepted myself for who I am and all the guilt and shame I carried from my past went away!!  Wow an amazing feeling!!
thanks for listening, Stanna  (btw i'm 58)

Hi Stanna, welcome to Susan's Place! I'm a (snowbound) Bostonian. I'm glad you found us, and by the way, you're
not 58, you're 29 x 2!  That's a little trick my mom taught me! See you around the site.

Hugs, Devlyn

Thanks again for all the warm welcomes! This place is truly a godsend, knowing there are others out there going through life with similar struggles about who they are and deciding which direction life will take them, makes me feel not so out of place.
Devlyn, funny, I feel like a 29 year old girl trapped in this 58 year old mans body, but I am determined to let her out! Can't wait to see where this goes!

Hugs,    Stanna
