Dh of 20 years is a crossdresser. I don't know how to cope.

Please be gentle with me. I don't even know what I want to hear but I have no one to talk to. After 20 years and DC together (oldest is 11) my dh has told me that he cross dresses for sexual kicks and wants to 'explore this further' with me. I know I sound melodramatic but I have an ache in my chest and tears just writing about it. I didn't have a clue. 20 years he has lied to me about who he is. To say I didn't have a clue is not strictly true, about a fortnight ago he said something about 'a dream with women's underwear' and I did wonder if he wanted to try it (not realising he's been doing it for years!). While he was out I looked for some images of men in women's underwear on the internet to see if it was something I might want to try and decided that it definitely isn't. I am devastated. I honestly can't see how our marriage can survive. I am at a loss what to do next and feel so very, very alone. The one person I would usually talk to, who would support me and comfort me isn't the person I thought they were. I can't talk to anyone else either as I know he doesn't want anyone else knowing.

I had a similar experience OP after 20 years all this extreme fetish/kink stuff took over and I was told like it or lump it. Suddenlyou there were all these new collar wearing friends around and all our friends discarded.
It wasn't what I signed up for when we got married. I put up with it for 5 years but it just completely took over and I decided enough was enough and he left.
It was heartbreaking. A long happy marriage and my life fucked because of this stupid shit. I feel your pain.
