Hi I am Chris

[LChris]

Just started to admit to myself I have an interest in cross dressing. SO far just women's undergarments BUT some day wish to go clubbing completely female.
Coming to grips with the day I tell my S.O.
So new to this I need advice on shaving products and such.
So I am very happy I found this forum and was able to join.

Hello, Chris, and welcome to the Forum!!

When you tell your SO about Chris, make sure you have come to terms with who *you* are, have lots of information, sources for her to reference, and give her our website. She will have lots of questions for you (...are you gay? ...are you going to have the sex change? ... etc.) and you will need to be honest and confident in your answers. Your SO is more than welcome to join our forum, and we look forward to seeing her here, also.

Check the archives, I'm sure you'll find answers to many of your questions.

Baby steps, Chris, baby steps.

Thanks for the welcome.

I know it will be baby steps.

First accept all of this myself. Then tell her.

It took me 35 years to admit this side of myself.

And I all ready know my SO will be reticent.

To test waters I told her I wanted to dress like Eddie Izzard in the Circle concert for Halloween 2007.

She was pretty cold to the idea.

Her exact words were..."well at least you are not wearing my underwear"

And my thoughts wer..."Yeah I bought my own panties..."
But I know there is a lot involved.

I have no local friends who crossdress but I do ahve a large number of lesbian and bi friends who are all abou helping me accept me. then tell her...also getting some good advice on what I will look good in.

So I will step smal but I will walk.

Thanks again

Hi Chris, aboard.

Shaving products?

Aveeno Positively Smooth shaving gel and the Moisturizer as well.

These products retard hair re-growth after 4 to 6 weeks of use.

Hi Chris, welcome to this wonderful place. Telling your wife can in itself be a big deal. As SilverLady saids be ready to tell the truth and have information ready for her to read. My advise is just be ready which ever way it goes, good luck.

Welcome Chis. I am glad you found us! My one piece of wisdom I can give you is that when most wives find out they seem to feel betrayed because this was hidden from them so they begin to wonder what else is being hidden? Try and hep her seperate the dressing from the behavior of hiding it. help herunderstand that you are still the same loving husband she fell in love with and still loves.

Good luck and have fun discovering who you are.
