Real Life Stories - Entries for January 2017

Screen 13 of 21

Over the next few days we debated the issue. Colin explained that the “TV thing” made him more macho as he thought he had something to prove but with me – as I understood and helped the transvestism he did not have to prove anything and I could be in control when he was dressed but when he wasn’t he would be in control! I wasn’t happy with that and said it was all or nothing. I had gotten used to making decisions and found I really liked it.

One day as we were driving along he said he would get his ab curler out of my brother’s lock-up. I said, “No you are not, I’m not having the third bedroom turned into a gym!” he accepted that! He even wrote me a letter to say he liked me putting my foot down with him and wanted me to be in control. So that is how things have gone, though I do all the housework, I book all the holidays and we do what I want to do over the weekend. If he books something up it is likely to change – for example he has booked up horse racing which he likes and then I have changed my mind and we’ve not gone - that’s happened at least three times.
