"I told my wife about my need to cross dress approx 3 yrs ago. I have tried to fight it, stop it but I have failed. I researched it and was told to accept my need to do it. I bought high heels 2 1/2 yrs ago and recently bought a leather skirt. I dressed completely except for makeup and a wig. Does this every stop? Does it get much worse."
