You see, I been married a long time. Not always easy, but we get through it, like folks do. Now, I got this story, might sound strange to some, but it’s how life goes, you know? My husband, bless him, one day comes to me and says, “I wanna dress like a woman.” Well, I ain’t too sure what to think at first. I mean, it ain’t everyday a man tells his wife somethin’ like that, but we been together for years, and if that’s what he wants, I reckon we can work with it.
So, we start slow. I gave him one of my old dresses, somethin’ simple, nothin’ fancy. First time I saw him all done up, well, it was somethin’. He didn’t look bad, truth be told. He smiled at me, and I could see he felt good, comfortable. That’s what matters, ain’t it? I mean, life’s too short to be worryin’ about what folks think. Long as we happy, that’s all that counts.
At first, I weren’t sure if it was just a phase, but turns out, he really liked it. Now, I ain’t no expert in why men do what they do, but I reckon everyone just wants to feel good in their own skin, right? My husband, he’d been wearin’ my dresses more and more, and I got used to it. We even went shoppin’ together a few times, lookin’ at women’s clothes. He’d try on things, and I’d tell him what looked good. You gotta admit, there’s somethin’ fun about it, shoppin’ together like girlfriends. Ain’t that somethin’?
I remember one time we went to this party. Well, it was a fancy dress thing, so we figured, why not? He got all dolled up, and I did his makeup real nice. He looked better than I thought he would, I’ll tell you that. Folks there didn’t even bat an eye. And you know what? It made me realize, people ain’t as judgy as I used to think. Some even complimented him, said he looked good. He was smilin’ the whole night.
Now, I ain’t sayin’ it was always easy. It took some gettin’ used to, seein’ my husband in skirts and makeup. But we talked about it, you know? We had long talks about what he was feelin’ and what I was feelin’. That’s how you keep a marriage goin’, talkin’ things out. I think, in the end, what he needed was to feel accepted, and what I needed was to see that it didn’t change who he was.
In fact, I think it brought us closer. Wearin’ my clothes, well, it’s like he wanted to be even closer to me, if that makes sense. Like we was sharin’ more than just a life, but a part of ourselves, too. I even started buyin’ him little things here and there – scarves, shoes, nothin’ too fancy. He appreciated it. Made him feel good. And when he felt good, I felt good. That’s how it works, don’t it?
I guess what I’m tryin’ to say is, life is funny like that. You think you know someone, been married to them for years, and then they surprise you. But that don’t mean it’s a bad thing. People change, and you gotta be willin’ to change with them. Ain’t no use holdin’ onto how things used to be, ‘cause that don’t help nobody. Me and my husband, we’re happy. And that’s all that matters at the end of the day.
- We got a strong marriage, built on talkin’ and understandin’.
- I learned that dressin’ up don’t change the person you love.
- Supportin’ each other, no matter what, keeps us close.
- And, most importantly, we’re happy together.
So, I guess if there’s anyone out there wonderin’ if it’s strange or wrong for their man to want to dress like a woman, well, it ain’t. It’s just part of who they are. And if you love ’em, you love all of ’em, dresses and all. Ain’t nobody’s business but your own how you live your life. We all got our quirks, don’t we? And that’s what makes life interestin’.
Marriage is about stickin’ together, through the surprises and the changes. Ain’t always easy, but it’s worth it. I’m proud of the life we built, and if my husband wants to wear a dress, well, that’s fine by me. We still love each other, and that’s what matters most. So, here’s to us, and to all the strange and wonderful things that make a marriage work.
