I’m a 29-year-old female, and my husband, who is 30, has started wearing women’s clothing at home. Has anyone experienced something similar and can share what the future might hold?

My husband, who is 30, has been wearing women's clothes at home—such as pajamas, underwear, and bras—for the past six months. I’m 29 and have been supportive because he shared that this is something he has long wanted to explore. Whenever he stops wearing these clothes for a while, he feels like it’s something he can't shake off, and he finds less enjoyment in men’s clothing and shopping for it. As a result, he has accumulated a significant amount of women's clothing, underwear, shoes, and makeup. However, this change has affected our intimacy; I find it difficult to feel attracted to him when he’s dressed this way or speaking to me as his “bestie.” He is aware of this and has even encouraged me to explore self-pleasure instead. For context, I’m a generally attractive woman who stays fit and receives compliments often. In my previous relationships, I never faced such issues, and my sexual experiences were great. We’ve been married for three years, and I'm uncertain about where this situation might lead, especially since I've spoken with him about his sexuality. He insists that he has no attraction to men or women, but he enjoys wearing women’s clothing. This wasn’t what I expected when we got married, and I miss my husband. It’s challenging for me to be patient while he navigates this new aspect of himself. Although he has no intention of wearing these clothes in public, I still feel like I’m living with a cross-dresser who acts more like a friend than a partner. He expresses love for me, but we often refer to each other as “girl” or “bestie.” This shift began just six months ago, and he claims he never had such thoughts before. Has anyone else been through a similar experience? I could really use some insight.
