It always amuses me when people, myself included, fail to see the similarities in our differences.
The Cd'er feels upset because the SO isn't participating enough or excited enough in crossdressing activities and takes this as a rejection of an important part of their life/self and further as a rejection of them.

The differences are minimal. The differences in the reactions are small, significant but still not all that important. The really important bit is that each is experiencing almost exactly the same thing on opposite sides of the fence and each seems to be mystified by the others reactions and in all probability ascribing all sorts of motivations and explanations from their own projected fears. Both are probably accusing the other of selfishness, a lack of understanding and think that the degree of participation that they are performing and acceptance that they are showing is more, or more important, than the others when actually they are each uniquely situated to understand the others feelings except that they are each unable to see past the issue in the middle.
