Getting use to tights and stockings was really annoying but once you start wearing them you get use to them. He did loads for me and we are now married with 2 kids and me as full time house wife. I love it. Looking back it was a compromise which I was pleased to do. tights still annoy me though and he just happens to have some sort of fetish for me wearing them. Oh well.

My advice, just switch to skirts. He will be happy and you will be.


Hi, thank you for sharing your story. Wow! I’m so happy that you’ve now got a house and a husband and a family! If I really believed it would make all the difference maybe I’d grit my teeth and wear a dress and stockings every day for the rest of my life!!! But I think real life is a bit more complicated…

Did you really used to hate skirts? How did you feel when you started wearing them and how long did it take you to get used to them? Iā€˜m worried that it would really screw me up. I’m sorry you still dislike tights – they do get itchy and saggy don’t they? It’s a shame your husband makes you wear them but I guess that as he does a lot for you it’s a price worth paying!


You have NO IDEA the effect your post had on me.

My first thought was, oh no, after 5 years you still dislike wearing a skirt. Poor you! I'm sure I'll be exactly the same!

I then got angry with your husband for making you do something you don't like and I was puzzled why you put up with it.

But I finally realised how much I'd love to swap places with you! I'd have a man of my very own who loved me and who gave me a home and a family. He'd go out to work each day to support us and look after us. I'd stay and home and look after my babies, do all the laundry and ironing and cleaning, fix the meals and do the dishes. Okay, I'd have to pull on a skirt and stockings every day - no fun maybe, an annoyance maybe, but nothing to lose sleep over.

You've helped me get things in perspective. You wear a skirt out of love for you husband and because he gives you so much more.

Can I ask a couple of questions please?
Firstly, have you got used to skirts at all since you started wearing them? Please, please say yes!
Secondly, and I don't know if this makes sense, but has wearing a skirt changed the way you feel about yourself, or how you feel about you husband or how he treats you?


Hi There,

Glad your thinking about things.. As you say it is only a skirt. Reading your posts does remind me of you, I was so anti skirts or anything girly but things change. Having a lovely family, husband and children certainly changes things!

In answer to your questions, if I being honest skirts still annoy me... (sometimes). It's the accessories, like tights that can be a tad annoying. Hubby has got a fetish for tights. He is always buying me them, and now there more in fashion I have got loads. I wear hold-ups too and when we got out he likes me to wear stockings and garters which can be a bit fidly at times but they drive him wild.

Has wearing a skirt changed me? Yes. I do feel more submissive, kinda like wanting my husband to make all the decisions. Afterall he chooses my skirts. Another thing with skirts is he can have his wicked way when he wants, (well when the children are not around). He sometimes comes home at lunch and, well its a lot quicker to whip a skirt up!!

i'm rambling here, just go with it I would. You know if it feels right. Anyways you boyfriend might only want you to wear a skirt when you go out? Or does he want you to wear a skirt all the time. Hopefully he won't want you to wear tights! That can be pain.

Talk soon.

Right on!! Totally agree with that..

Ever heard this old lame comment?.."..she looks good in jeans" well thats a contradiction in terms, as REAL women DON'T look good in jeans!

Ask a UK nurse. They would much prefer to wear those sexy dresses once more, but can't, due the constraints of the job.


Skirts are sometimes practical for work, but female doctors often wear trousers. Men only want women to wear dresses so they can have sex easier.


That's not true of all men. Some of us really like how nice women look in skirts and dresses. Provided the right size dress is being worn for the right size girl.

Some nurses look pretty darn good in scrubs, too! :lol:

Hi,
To start with he wants me to wear a pretty dress - and stockings - whenever he takes me out. Within a month or so, he wants me to be wearing skirts or dresses all the time...........

Nope, men are more attracted to domesticity:

If you are a tomboy I would not recommend wearing stockings. They are really fiddly and the straps can sometimes rub against your leg. IMHO wear tights, much easier and quicker or just go bare legged.

I agree. For a tomboy like me the prospect of wearing a skirt is bad enough :cry: . He’s already bought me a girdle with horrible fiddly straps and buckles for the stockings but I told him that he’s out of his mind if he thinks I’ll ever wear it :x !

Sorry, I have come into this discussion late. Is he insisting you wear stockings when you wear a skirt or dress? Looks like he wants you to wear stockings but stick to tights if you don't really like wearing hoisery. tights are more comfy and easier to put on.

He wants me to wear a skirt which I have been resisting - I'm feminine but I'm not "girly".
I guess he wanted to encourage me by buying me this girdle thing which he thought I'd find sexy. Its a horrible stretchy nylon object with fiddly straps and clips to attach the stockings to. Maybe my mother once wore something like it! Do I find it sexy? I do not! Will I ever wear it? No way!

Wear a skirt over tights for him once. He'll be so happy that he'll drop the request for garters but you'll have to compromise and agree to wear skirts and tights all the time.

Hi,

Thanks to everyone for your advice. No one, female or male, thinks I’m justified in refusing to wear skirts, especially as this relationship is so important to me. That’s kind of what I already felt to be honest – I just can’t risk this becoming a real issue between us. I realise I’ll have to start wearing skirts - I’m not feeling comfortable about it but most people think I’ll start to enjoy looking and feeling more feminine – I hope so :) ! Some people say I should wear skirts all the time, others tell me to wear them on special occasions only (which obviously I’d prefer), but I get the message. I’m sure I’ll get used to it :) . Whether I end up bare-legged or wearing tights or wearing stockings and garters I guess I’ll have to discuss with my boyfriend :? .

Let us know how it goes. Greet him in a skirt and tights and you'll make his day.

You will make him so happy when dressed in a skirt and tights. Are you going to surprise him one night dressed up or play safe and go shopping and choose the skirts/tights together? I am sure in a few months time you will be wearing a skirt all the time. Let us know how you get on and tell us what you bought.

Invite him over, wear the skirt and tights for him, and together cut up all your pants.

It’s good you are becoming more realistic on this issue.
We all have our own preferences when it comes to how we dress and you are entirely free to prefer trousers. Yes – they are in some respects more practical, convenient and comfortable than skirts. But to dislike skirts as much as you do isn’t normal. You are clearly not a lesbian, you have not mentioned any religious objections or issues of principal or even that you are ashamed of your legs. I don’t think you have any ā€œfeministā€ objection to changing your behaviour to please a man (e.g. doing your boyfriend’s laundry), so it looks like your skirt-phobia shows that you have some issue with your femininity. I think your boyfriend is doing you a favour by forcing you to confront it head-on.

I do hope it goes well for you. Do let us know all about what you end up wearing and everything that happens!!

If you are happy to wear a skirt that's fine, but don't let anyone bully you
