I am a 45y (f) married to my 37y (m) for 7 years. We have been together a total of 15 years. A year ago or so, it was revealed to me that my husband is dabbling in cross dressing. He said it was a phase but as time went on I found evidence that it’s much deeper than that. We stopped being intimate about 3 years ago. No affection whatsoever. I accepted that he is into this other lifestyle. I am an ally to whatever people want to be. I believe he wants to stay married to hide his authentic self from his family. (They are not as accepting) He tells me that’s not the case but what other reason is there to stay in this marriage?
My issue here is, I am a hopeless romantic. I crave so badly the attention of a man. I want to be in love. I want to be happy. I have grown to be angry at the world that this situation has found its way to me. It has affected my mental health and self esteem etc.
Any words of advice or encouragement would be greatly appreciated.
You loved someone enough that they felt safe to be their authentic selves. Thats more than most people can ever offer someone they love. Keep supporting and being there. I have learned that a life partner comes in many forms ❤️
