I'm really happy for you both, it is usually very difficult to come out to those who we love and it is equally, if not more difficult for them to accept you. After all, they had no say in the matter. I know it can be very frustrating to not dress as often as you like but you have to respect your partner's feelings and move at their pace. Baby steps are better than no steps at all.
