HI Cindy,
Thanks for commenting! I do have a lot of advice on this and a story here on medium as well.

If you haven't see it, www.crossdressers.com [with the s] is a really nice and well moderated disucssion board and is chock full of stories like ours and shared advice. It was really a help for me to see my life in perspective. We could chat via Reddit if you want to msg me there at u/Thrilledwfrills.
The bottom line is that we are fully entitled to feel as feminine as any woman is - BUT a lot of people will resist, and often our wives build their lives around their position as the feminine partner, which then requires in their eyes a committed masculine partner. But as that mirrors society at large, most males who want to feel feminine do so in secret.
I hope my full acceptance of you as Cindy is an emotional boost- feeling the happiness of a portion of your identity being recognized!
Big hug,
Miri
