Husband is Transvestite

By:
Peggy Elam

Question :

What are the chances of a relationship working out when the woman discovers that her husband is a transvestite? The woman is willing to accept her husband, knowing that he has special needs. What are the things she needs to consider in this relationship after this discovery?

Answer :

I can't make specific predictions or guarantees about your or anyone's marriage. But if you (assuming the woman in question is yourself) are willing to accept your husband and his cross-dressing needs -- and, of course, you both love each other -- I see no reason why you and he should not be able to have a long and satisfying marriage.

The key, I think, would be for you BOTH to be able to accept and share in, if applicable, his transvestic behavior. That would require being able to talk about his needs -- and yours -- in a respectful, non-shaming manner.
