My wife doesn't accept at all..... but she's willing to turn a blind eye as long as I keep it out of her face.... Getting too girlie on her just sets her off.... lucky for me she rarely stays mad more than a few hours.... It sucks but its the cards I was dealt.....

how does she keep a blind eye to the beautiful breasts you have grown? has that done anything to the intimacy? i assume in male mode they are still very noticable

That's a very good point you raise, Im. It's very difficult, if not impossible, to have a 'normal' sexual relationship in marriage if you pursue NBE. It's often true even if you keep it a secret before breast growth becomes visible.

For most of us, the part that intimacy plays in marriage is transformed as our sex hormone balance shifts away from testosterone toward estrogen. Male sex drive and sexual function are going to be affected to some degree, often a lot. Whether or not both partners can adjust to the new dynamic will make a big difference in the longevity of the marriage. The younger you are, the smaller the chances of the marriage lasting. That's why so many of us wait until age 50+ to finally face up to our transgender condition.

So even if your spouse or SO turns a blind eye to crossdressing, it's impossible for a relationship not to be affected by other consequences of pursuing HRT, whether through prescription drugs or herbal supplements. Often it means a sexless marriage, which, if you ask around, you'll find is fairly common in normal postmenopausal marriages anyway.
