Transvestia

It has been difficult for me to face this attractive "girl" since I view myself as rather the opposite. I think this should give one the incentive to improve her own feminine image. Seeing her, it made me realize that if a TV can be attractive and feminine, we GGs should at least TRY. You've heard it said, "after a girl gets mar- ried, she lets herself go", I must admit, I was one that did, but no longer.

I've found that a good way to help her to feel wel- come is helping with her wardrobe purchasing. We've enjoyed several TV/GG shopping trips, and it is comical to see some of the side glances we exchange when a salesperson is trying to sell something to me when it is really for her. It would help if we had similar coloring.

It's amazing to me how relaxed she is. whether all "dolled up" or just in lounging togs. I don't think it's a conscious action, but she curls up in a chair just like a GG.

Since facing and accepting my marriage to a TV, I must say the reflection in his/her disposition has been enormous. As for our marital harmony now; what a dif- ference! It makes me feel like we are newlyweds rather than battle scarred veterans. We had lived over five years in a state of mental misery, but now we are catching up on all we missed happiness, contentment, peace of mind and most of all, the exchange of mutual love with- out fear.

There has been a wonderful change in our lives since I've grown to understand and accept. The happiness I now have is the first real happiness that I have felt in the six years of our marriage. I'm a different person too; a con- tented wife instead of a crabby, suspecting female.

It has been a long, crooked road, but at last we've made it. Our house is now a home. You helped to make this possible. My eternal thanks.
