The journal was created with one purpose in mind: coming to terms with the fact that the man I love is a crossdresser.
I need to clarify something first, though. I do not resent my partner, wish to change him, or think that his crossdressing is a disease that I need to cure. I am not looking for venues through which to bash him, his choices, or personality facets.
What I am seeking is an ability to understand. Or, at the very least, accept and be comfortable with. I'd always considered myself open minded and accepting of other people's choices, and firmly believe that each person in this world has the right to live as they choose so long as they are not endangering others.
That was easy to say before I was faced with my partner being a crossdresser.
So I created this journal with the intent of using it as a place to hash out my thoughts and feelings. It gives me a "hidden" place to put this all down, and allows my partner to read as I work through these things and struggle to understand. It helps to keep our lines of communication open as we work through this hurdle. It also gives me a vehicle with which to see out more information, both on crossdressing itself, and on being the partner of a crossdresser.
Initially, I had no intention of opening this journal up to anyone aside from my partner. And still, when it comes to my most intimate thoughts, feelings, and struggles, such things will remain for his eyes only. But I've realized the potential for connecting with others who've been in my shoes and can help me, so I'm moving beyond the initial goal of keeping this a very private place.
If you can relate to what I'm going through, want help with what you're going through, or for whatever reason, feel as though we'd connect on some level, please feel free to get in touch with me. I'm eager to speak to people about the struggles that it seems so few understand.
