I stepped right outside my comfort zone last night and came out into the lounge after my shower in a new dress, wedge sandals, bra with breast forms, eyebrows, lips and lashes done. Usually I have been semi comfortable with just a dress and maybe the sandals. Even though my wife accepts this is now part of me, I did not know how she would react or my 19 year old son. They both looked at me and my wife was the only one that said anything and asked what the shade of lipstick I was wearing was as she hadn't seen that one. She confided in me later that my son had said to her that he has 2 mums and a dad now. I am truly lucky to have an open minded and trusting son like that.
My wife and I also had a nice chat about she now feels comfortable with me as she knows that I will not try and come on to her while dressed. She understands that this is for my personal needs only so she does not feel threatened. I am hoping she will now help me with makeup with the choosing of the right types and colours. Once i feel more comfortable with this I will change my Avatar to show my face.
It is because of the forums here that I have have grown more comfortable and also having the courage to push my boundaries. I thank you all for the sharing of your lives and admire so many of you for your strength in all the different ways it shows.
I have now ordered some matching bra and pantie sets now that I am going to wear my breast forms more often.

Well done Sue!  You're very fortunate to have a real partner.  Looking forward to more adventures. 

How exciting:) well done .

Awesome and congrats!  I'm happy your wife is able to be supportive and you are working on a compromise. I think the biggest hurdle is for her not feeling threatened, that's huge!  She's trying too, and that is also immense so congrats to you both.

And your Son, that's amazing too.  It can't be easy for a kid to see their Dad buck societal norms but in a way its really good for him to.  It's clear that he loves you no matter what, so that says you are doing something right

I came home from golf on the weekend and as per my usual routine headed for the shower to then change into Sue.
While in the shower my wife (Michele) came in and was going through my plastic bag of makeup from my stash in the wardrobe which she hasn't done before.
When I got out of the shower I asked what she was doing as I felt quite nervous and she said she wanted to see if the items I had suited me. She ended up discarding only a small amount and was reasonably impressed with some of the items and colours I had. Then she hit me with a bombshell, she said "would you like me to make you up" I stuttered a bit then gratefully accepted as I need lots of help in this department. Soon after I was nicely made-up and with the application of a wig and a little adjustment went out to have a wine on the deck as girlfriends. This is major for her as our house is very visible and she panics if I am out there in a dress on its own. Our neighbours look down on us from up the valley.
During our wine time I also shared with her this site and how it is helping me and also that I can help others through sharing. She knows that I subscribe to a forum site but did not know which one.
I read out to her the start of this topic and it made me very emotional. By being able to do this it has made me more comfortable to dress fully more often at home where I have normally only have fully made myself up when she is away.
Michele also took a couple of photos of me which I wanted to share, but since I was not expecting this beautiful gesture I had not shaved in a couple of days and when I opened the photos I was a little disappointed that the stubble showed too prominently and my chest hair was also on display.
She also made it very clear that we were girlfriends having a drink and I was to role play that and not to try and get close. This was hard when I thanked her for what she had done with a large hug.
I do not think this would of happened if I had not taken the chance the previous week. I think Michele needed to show me how to do things properly if I was going to do this.
My avatar will be changed when I can make a reasonable job and this will be done with the help of Michele.
She also knows now from my post to expect some matching bra's and panties this week in the mail. Michele also gave me one of her old makeup bags and helped me sort the products into their right places.
I am very grateful to her and feel extremely lucky to have her support.

Wow - your wife is fantastic!

Omg that's fantastic lovely dress
