Well, I feel lucky for a multitude of reasons. Although, what I'll ultimately admit to today was not what I was set out to proclaim the day I wrote my initial post. What follows, is some of my story. I hope it's not too long.
I introduced myself to the world of traditionally female clothing at an early age. I recall being about seven years old, coming home from the public swimming pool, and trying on a pair of hosery that happened to be in the room at the time. I liked how it felt against my skin and repeated the experience for the following few days. I know not what that psychologically means, but I'm sure that's when a seed was planted.
At any rate, not much thought went into it until my university years. Living on my own, I began to procure and wear tights without fear. I'm sure this led to my 'logical' introduction to skirts. Over the years, I bought a few skirts and tights and enoyed my private time in the comfort they afforded.
Eventually, I befriended who was to become my wife. During our courtship, and our marriage, I began to dispose of my 'comfy clothes,' knowing full well their days were numbered. Imagine my delight, during our honeymoon in the Canadian Rockies, that my new wife would suggest I wear a pair of her tights overnight to help keep me warm. I guess I should mention that this was in September and the temps certainly can dip quite low at that point in the season.
I wore them for the duration of the next day as we left our campsight and found lodging in Canmore whereupon my bride wanted to see what I looked like wearing the tights sans jeans. She laughed. Despite the reaction I expected, I marvelled at my circumstances.
I admitted that I liked the sensation of wearing tights and was very surprised to find my wife's response to be not negative. She was not surprised, shocked, nor, in any other way, upset at the relevation that her new husband would enjoy wearing something of her domain. In her words, 'what does it matter? It's only fabric.'
I wish I could recall why, but we thought it would be fun to buy me a skirt. Having long since discarded my old clothing, I was very excited to get a replacement. She found a cheap mini-skirt, compared the diameter to that of a pair of pants which I would've fit from the mens department, and bought it. Like a child I rushed home, and to my delight, it essentially fit me. It was a tad large, but not so much that it wasn't functional.
The next few months grew tiresome on my wife I'm sure. I wanted to wear my skirt as much as possible but continually asked for reassurance that I wasn't upsetting her with my choices. I don't think I really appreciated her acceptance/indifference until a year (and a bit) past.
I began to appreciate her strength in the statement of 'it is just clothing' when I was able to buy a couple more skirts from a local thrift shop. I remember being really impressed that she was disappointed that a skirt she found for me didn't fit. My world was made.
While I essentially only wear skirted garments at home, I fully enjoy the ability to do so, without question, in the company of my loving wife. It is her whom I'm truely lucky to have. She accepts me, encourages me, and helps me be who I am today. I love her, with all my heart, and had already given up the notion of skirts, only to have her give me back the options they afford.
But now... a cliffhanger. We've just had the miracle, that is child birth, rock our world. How will things change? How will things stay the same? Who knows, tune in next week for the next exciting episode.
I initially wanted to post (essentially) this very 'story' a while back. But, due to outside circumstances, had not found the time to do so. And, I also felt I should try to make a few comments on other threads that have been active in the past few weeks. I'm sorry to other members that I have not contributed to this forum as yet, but I assure you that I'll do my best to return just some of what I've gained.
FWIW, my favorite skirt is still the one she bought me.
