Yesterday I took my wife to a spa to get a bit of a "tune up". After all, I'm spending tons on a whole new me so I figured that if she wants a little time roll back how can I argue. After, we headed for the mall and stopped for lunch at a new place we hadn't tried before and were surprised to find it full of blue collar construction and utility workers, a few couples and, of course, me in full femme and my cis wife. We both rolled our eyes at each other but just played the part of two ladies out for lunch perfectly, Several glances that said "hmmm, I wonder" and then back to their eating and nothing more, but I was nervous as a cat. Then at the mall I treated us to a mani for me (first time) and a pedi for my wife that she had wanted for awhile. A very wonderful thing for me then happened. My wife's pedi girl asked her if "he" was going to pay for her as well as my mani. My wife very clearly said "yes, give HER the bill, SHE will pay". First time my wife sort of defended me and very clearly acknowledged me as female. She has been pretty damn good in spite of the difficulty of the things she is dealing with regarding my being trans, but I always wondered if she could ever see me as who I am. I told her how much that meant to me and she just said "I know" and smiled and we had a wonderful rest of the day. Toni
