how much do we cope

[aunt-Jamibjob]

my husband has Parkinson's disease and his drugs cause him to cross-dress and I don't like it but he can't help it should I let him do it or divorcee him

I'd ask for professional help .... bit above my experience.

Personally in the grand scheme of things I think cross dressing isn't such a big deal, especially if he has no control over it due to his meds. Talk to his doctors they may be able to alter his drugs. I think there must be a lot more going on in your marriage to be thinking about divorce. Divorce is very expensive and not to be undertaken lightly. My ex divorced me due to my ill health and the legal proceedings alone cost me just over £20,000 not to mention the chunk of my house I had to give him so all in I'm better off because I don't have to deal with him but it's cost me around £150,000 in total.

I have never heard of medications causing cross dressing. I work as a couple's counsellor and agree with the previous post. It sounds like there is more going on here! In terms of the cross dressing, have a look at 'The Beaumont Trust' on line. They offer advice and support to Cross dressers and their partners. I guess some times we have to be a bit selfish. Relationships are about both people not just one. It doesn't have to mean divorce some couples cope well with it. Grayson Perry's wife for example. Best wishes.

Cross dressing might be his way of coping with Parkinson's. Can you come to an agreement that he'll just cross dress in the house? If you can't adapt, maybe he could just cross dress in another room.
