Thank you for your kind reply to me in the FEMmotions thread. I am replying here because it seems to fit better and is your own thread.
I have been having a number of further discussions with my O&O which have raised some issues that may be worth passing on. At the same time she is creating what looks likely to be a truly gorgeous
dress for me to take to Atlanta for the last night at SCC. The problem is that each time she works on the dress she then gets depressed and starts worrying about the situation and her confused attitude towards cross dressing in particular.
We are going out this evening so that she can go to her scuba diving course at the pool while I do the grocery shopping, so more in due course, possibly by PM.
Many hugs, and looking forward to seeing your pictures
From your description, Annie, your O&O is experiencing a tug-of-war between her emotions and her rational thoughts concerning your cross dressing desires. I think it's a good sign, though, that she's consciously trying to overcome a lifetime of conditioning that sees it as something perverted and/or threatening. I think, in time, the aversion will die away. Some, like my O&O, adjusted fairly quickly to the out of the blue revelation of my TG inclinations. Others take longer. Look at how things are taking a positive turn in Sammie's situation. It seems to me that the greatest risk to a relationship is taken by the younger guys. Maybe that's why those of us who could somehow deal with our gender dysphoria in the past, however it occurred, waited until our 50s, 60s, and even 70s to come out. As they say, you can't have your cake and eat it, too!
But, anyway, I'm really eager to get a glimpse of this dress. I haven't found on for Saturday night yet. I'm not sure exactly what I'm looking for.
