Hi Kerry,
Very similar to you although I head to a workshop full of guys. If only they knew I was wearing panties, bodysuit and pantyhose under my clothes with painted toenails and clear polish on my finger nails. When I get home I have a shower and then into a nice flowing dress. I have a 19 year old son that knows of my cross dressing needs and accepts me as long as what I do does not interfere with his life.
My wife also supports me but at the same time she is missing her husband (manly Man). She is starting to help me more and more with my dress sense. I spent 2 hours with her the other day in a boutique shop where she tried on several items. I felt very comfortable there and enjoyed the experience. Even though nothing was for me it was nice together time. Its the first time in our 26 years together she has let me into this part of her life. A funny part was when I was walking around the shop with her, I had some clothes on my arm and one of the ladies came up and out of habit asked if I wanted to try them on. She immediately stuttered and tried to correct herself but my wife and I smiled knowingly at each other as I would have loved to.
It feels so right putting a dress on and I will slowly push the boundaries where I can wear makeup, forms etc.
We have a house that has lots of glass and areas where people calling in can surprise us, so always on edge.
At night its then into one of my nighties for bed.
There are some days when I have to be just a bloke in boys kit and I feel withdrawal so bad.
Right now I would love to ditch my steel-capped boots and put my heels on.
