Wouldn't it be great if business could really work this way?I am 47, heterosexual, and the president of a manufacturing firm. I am married to a wonderful stay at home woman and we have two boys. No they don't know and I do not intend on telling them now. Maybe some day in the future. We have been married for 25 years and have been out of the closet since 2000. The road out of the closet has been sort of rocky but it is smoothing out the farther we go. My wife is not interested in any participation with Francine and prefers not to get involved in any way. She allows me the time I need to deal with it on my own time. We attended SPICE in 2000 and it was a tremendous help in getting both of us educated and communicating so that the marriage would not suffer. We have too much invested to ditch it now.
Prior to coming out I was very lonely and becoming disgusted with my life. Today I am the happiest sole on the planet. I have found direction and worth for my existance once again. It is amazing how hard crossdressing can be on one when they refuse to explore this God given talent. I only wish I could have had the guts to do it sooner. Looking back I can see my life was on hold since about 1975. For those 25 years I grew a beard and just existed with no direction wandering aimlessly. I now find myself working on hobbies and projects I started long ago. I am an avid diver along with the rest of the family. I am accomplished in the following: Car restoration, Gunstock making, Radio controlled aircraft "giant scale", Master mechanic, Design Engineer, Woodworking, Boater, Fisherman, and a great spouse. I guess you could say I am a crossdressing married McGuyver. That pretty much sums it up. I should say that I do not let crossdressing get in the way of my activities. This is only a very small part of who I am but the most important part of my happiness. I have learned how Francine is entwined within me and set aside the time needed to let her hair down and smell the flowers.
Thanks to the internet I have met some wonderful people from all over the planet who have helped me along on this journey to find out who I am. I am greatly indebted to all of you who have reached out a helping hand or lend a shoulder to cry on when the time was needed. You've definitely helped change my life for the better. Thank you all!
