I've always had a DL side, since I was a kid, but I never got into ABDL because I didn't know that it existed. It was just a strange thing I did once in a while, such as putting a baby diaper in my underwear and wetting it, this happened before marriage and during marriage but I never spoke of it.
Then I discovered ABDL and ABDL diapers, printed fun ones. My mind was blown and it triggered a fierce DL side which has not gone away.
I discovered and realized that wearing diapers was therapeutic, calming, and enjoyable on so many levels.
The problem is that this all happened after I said "I do" and started a family, so I didn't have the opportunity to give my wife a choice before we got married. I have a diaper side, can you deal with that before we say I do?
After a year of sneaking diapers into the house and secretly wearing diapers I opened up to her about it.
Turns out my wife is thoroughly disgusted by diapers, she hates them and the idea of me in a diaper is pathetic and unattractive and she was very conflicted and upset, feeling stuck. Things got bad and it took quite a while for things to get back to normal.
She still mentions "that issue" sometimes and shes come to terms with my past, but my desire is still there and I am still sneaking diapers.
Some days I think diapers are crazy, what the hell am I doing??!! I'm over it!
Most other days I cannot wait to get into my diaper.
I wish she would understand that DL is not wearing gross medical diapers and sitting in piss all day, that's not what DL is for me.
We have to remember that men wanting to wear diapers, especially adult baby diapers, IS very unusual and humiliating. Most women want a "man".
If my wife would listen to why I wear diapers and how I keep it a secret to protect her and myself from ridicule and she accepted that, then we would have a near perfect marriage.
