Topic For The Month: To Tell Or Not to Tell?
There has been so much activity on our worldwide forum lately about whether or not to tell someone that your husband or partner is a cross dresser. Some of the forum posts purport that they do not tell because their cross dressing husbands told them not to and how can they go against his wishes or demands?
We are forced to ask… What wife would want to risk any potential professional, political, or social ramifications due to exposing her husband’s kinky dark secret?
I am forced to ask… Was your cross dressing husband honest about his cross dressing before he married you? In many sad cases, the answer is NO. Yet, you are expected to share in the responsibility of hiding his secret, which has become your secret too, and abstain from getting any of the support you may so desperately need? You need all of the positive resources available to you. If you keep silent, most likely it will cause you more pain.
This is why our worldwide forum is so important. Sharing and caring for one another, guiding ourselves through the queer turmoil nighttime can bring, many of us are in desperate need of someone who can simply listen and hear us. When most cd wives unburden their secret, it is to their best friend, a religious or spiritual leader, close family member, or a therapist. This is not to imply that the listener will be able to advise you accordingly, but the result will most likely be one of RELIEF.
With love, respect, gratitude & blessings,
The Founder

Consultations
In April 2010, we began one-on-one Consultation Services with The Founder. She holds a BA in Women Studies, an M.A. in Social Sciences, and has worked with over one thousand cross dressers’ wives. She is not a licensed therapist; she is a former cross dresser’s wife.
We are offering a free 15-minute initial phone consultation. Please book your phone consultation by contacting cdwives@gmail.com. The basic fee is $50 an hour.
Consultation Testimonials
"...the hour I spent speaking with you made me feel better than the year I spent in therapy."
"...after my consultation with the founder, I realized my therapist was not the expert on cross dressers wives - the founder was."
"…the advice I received from the founder about setting boundaries was a big help to my marriage."
"Thank you founder for providing much needed resources for me."
"...I cannot tell you how blessed I felt to have someone I could talk to about this that has shared this experience."
