My BF told me about his CDing within the first 2 weeks of our relationship. I know it took a whole lot of courage for him to do this. It took him about 2 months to actually dress in front of me. From the beginning it excited me and I wanted him to show me but after he did we went through a very rough spot. He was embarrassed and felt terrible for showing me. I on the other hand I loved seeing this very special side of him. He closed off and basically shut down on me. I obviously thought the worst that it was me. Many months later through conversation and him dressing when he could ( we have three kids and live together so it's not as often as I know he or I would like) he began to open up to me. He said he never had anyone quite like me in his life who loved him and supported him for him. I honestly think at times he still questions that but the fact of the matter remains and that is I love him for all things he/she is I love the person and for me the CDing has become a bonus. Your SO may just need some time but also dont cheat yourself either give yourself and him the time to process this new found information. But the key is to continue to communicate through it all. This site has been a warm and welcoming home for the both of us he actually introduced me to it on Valentine's Day and to me that spoke more than the flowers and chocolate of his love for me and of our relationship. ......yes I said more than chocolate. ....lol
