Christy,

That's great you had such a nice time, with your wife. She does sound like a very wonderful person.

Stay close and give each other lots of hugs. 

  Life can bring many changes throughout the years.
  Embrace these changes everyday .
  Except the way you hug each other.
  Hug each other like the day you married.

   Hugs, Roxy

You have a great wife, and I know the two of you will have a lot of fun together.

[Mrs Erocse]

Hugs to you both.

That's great news Christy,

Remember to keep it a two way thing. I know you will (sorry). But in the early days I sometimes forgot, and then it was the you love Cindy more than you love me tears. It takes time for both of you to adjust. And it is a big adjustment. But love is a big adjuster. (Any more ways I can use adjust as an adjective in one sentence? if so I will adjust it).

Thanks Cindy muches...U are so right. That is one HUGE area that my wife feels threatened.
It's so amazing how similar all our stories are...I am working very hard to  let her know she is
more important than me.....

Great attitude Christy. Keep it up and you'll be fine. I tried to explain to my wife how I felt inside and she wanted nothing to do with it. Hense, still in the closet and a guy on the outside but a woman everywhere that counts.

I really love hearing how well things are going with those of us that have wives!  I feel the same way, my wife is the best! Our lives have been enhanced.
Great news!

That's wonderful news, Christy. 
I'm happy for you, too Stephanie.Izann and Cindy 

As I have written before, I came out to Chelle when our dating evolved into what was to become a life together.  To be honest, initially there were a few awkward moments (probably more me than she) but as she got to know me and I her, she quietly became my greatest supporter, sounding board, friend, teacher and sister – she truly brought out the best in me. 

May all of you enjoy what I had for many, many wonderful years...  Raising a family, Girls Nights Out, Shopping, shopping and shopping - Being together, whether in guy mode or femme, was and is the greatest gift of all. 

@Bethw
I am sorry your wife is less than accepting – I was fortunate I never really had to remain deeply closeted until recently and in a word or two, it stinks.  Maybe one day she will come around and you can set the lady you are inside free.  Let the whole world know something we here do - how loving, caring and wonderful Beth really is.

Hey again, My wife and I had a wonderful talk a couple nights ago and it was great! And we had a wonderful day and night last night.
Thanks for all your great replies that makes me feel great. We are taking things a day at a time, but I know now she understands a little more..Thanks

Being married and transgendered is a challenge. I'm also married. I know what you are going through and wish you the very best. You are blessed to have a spouse you accepts you for who you are.

[Christy Edwards]

As I read over the replies again, a little sadness came over me when reading a couple of them.
Although my wife does know, and is accepting, and pretty much supports me, there are times that are hard for her understanding. And to be who u really want to be, there is a huge sacrifice.
That being, the person our wives are use to seeing and being with, doesnt look quite the same. Even behind the make-up, and behind the fem clothes we dont look as we did. For reasons of trying to lose weight, changing our hair, growing our nails, shaving our body and not to mention what HRT ultimately does to us. I know this is something I/we have to do, and we are very happy. I guess it's worth the wait. I do hope that everyone knows I do feel blessed and fortunate, but I do think about all who are a little less fortunate with their wives. So please hang in there and dont give up, keep
believing. So I guess my point is I dont mean to make anyone feel worse because of my best right now. I hope and pray everone has a Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year.
Hugs...Christy

I'm very happy for you even though I know it is going to be a train wreck when I finally come out to my wife.  I hope others that are not as fortunate as yourself, have the maturity and the character to be happy for you, regardless of theri own circumstances. I hope you and your wife have a great holiday together and I look forward to seeing more post on how things are going with you and your relationship with your wife.

Hugs, Stacy

Christy, thank you for your posts about you and your wife.  Though I know that some will feel envy that you have a wife who is accepting and disappointed because they are not as fortunate with thier own wives, I think showing everyone that this is accepted is important. This is a road we all need to pave together. It must be paved, for those wives who are not accepting in hopes that seeing so many that do, a softening of the heart may occur. A doubt in thier decision to leave may exist. Other wives do accept for the sake of love. Other wives can transition and lead perfectly functioning lives despite the obstacles that need to be overcome. Even the choice not to stay with a transitioned spouse creates it's own obstacles. A person has to be alone, set up house alone, look for new love and hope it is good, maybe not even find it. They must overcome the emotional devastation that seperation and divorce causes for family and friends. So the choice to leave and not accept will have equally if not more negative impact on their lives. Accepting wives are here with wonderful loving transgendered partners. We have successful lives. Friends and family should see this. I take every opportunity to show off my accepting family,not to brag or make people feel less fortunate but to hope that others will see it and feel they have been out of line for not accepting. That it is not and should not be a big deal. Transgender people are loved and accepted every day. Nobody should think it is appropriate to be otherwise! So your posts are important support to all of us. Thank you.
~Hugs and Happy Holidays!~
