Janet,
I'm in my sixties now and it's taken me far too long to find myself and get to this point , I couldn't give this lifestyle up now because I know it's an integral part of me . Not to dress again and satisfy my female side would be like taking part of my being away, why would I want to do that ?

Surely you can find a way to gradually to explain it to your wife, can you truly say this is the last day and it's never going to happen again ?
It's a huge sacrifice for part of you to possibly be unhappy for the rest of your life .
