There are a few things, very important things, that I need from the person I've chosen to spend my life with. As I get older, these things become more clear and more important. The bottom line is that these things have nothing to do with how a person dresses.
When Marla confided in me, I responded like I've responded to people all my life. "Well, what every you need to do is fine with me". With a background in the arts, I guess I've been exposed to a very broad range of people with individual lifestyles. What does it matter as long as they don't hurt anyone or force their views on anyone else? I can say this because Marla doesn't force her views on me. I've experienced what "dressing" does for her and I love to let her, and help her, feel that way. We have spent some of the happiest times of my life shopping, surfing, taking pictures and "playing". I'm so proud of her. And I'm kinda proud of myself, too.
I remember that night she told me... I wanted to make sure that we could talk about anything and everything, whenever. That I could ask any questions and we could be very open. I think my advise to similar couples (not that I really ever give any advise) would be to take that type of approach. While we're still working on it, I believe communication is the key. Also, I think this page has been somewhat therapeutic for both of us. Her bio made me feel very special and I think she is getting quite a release by putting her photos out there for all of you to see.
To
close this bio, I'd like to share a thought. I was jealous of her
for awhile. I'd just wished that I had something in my life to newly
experience, to feel so excited about and to have someone support and include
themselves in. I feel now that I have that. It's her.
