How do I start dressing how I want without freaking out the people around me? I'm in a LTR and would like to continue being in said LTR but she doesn't do well with change and if I just broke out with the leggings and tanks and tunics and makeup and whatnot I fear it will be too much for her and she will be put off. Just eyeliner was a big step for her and I've been tempering myself by my hair growth but the last 1/2" I've started to feel really comfortable with myself and my comfort level and femme now exceeds my percieved ability to change how I dress and act and I am hitting a point where all I want to do is be cute. For now it is wholly unrealistic to even try part time but when it's just us i want to be her girlfriend, finally, as I have always wanted to be. I love her and I can't stand to think of myself not having her to go through this with and I hate that I have to observe any temperance for any reason but it is worth it if it means she is comfortable, even though this has nothing to do with her. I'm so confused ;-;
