I could tell that the guy that is now my boyfriend knew a piece was missing when i talked about my past. I told him about my scars before he even asked me to be his girlfriend. He was completely caring about it more than some of the friends who have known for years before ever were. He also understood me a lot more as a person and what I’ve been through. A couple weeks ago i had a a relapse and cut myself again, and he was there for me. i hope you tell him because it will make your relationship stronger!

My boyfriend and I recently told each other about our similar experiences with child abuse and neglect. It felt so much better once I got it off my chest because I have never told anyone I know personally about my mother and to know that he trusted me enough to tell me about his parents made me so happy. I say, if you feel that you can trust him with something that big, and you want or need him to know, then go for it. It’s a big step, but can bring a couple much closer together

As someone who still struggles with self-harm, I say go for it, but only if you feel that you can trust him because there are some jerks out there who use that as black mail (as pathetic as that is). I hadn’t planned on telling my boyfriend so soon (two months), but someone pointed it out to him and i didn’t want him getting the impression that i was some ‘suicidal emo freak’, so i did confess and made sure that he knew i wasn’t suicidal, just my way of dealing with things. He was extremely understanding and said that it didn’t change who i was or how he felt about me. If he cares about you, he’ll just want to be there for you (: Hope this helps :3

I have been with my boyfriend for a month and with in the first week we met I just had to tell him he was so good to me to begin with but after I told him he was relieved because he could tell I was holding something back. We made a promise to each other to tell one another if we are upset with something and to communicate so hopefully we will stay together and nothing bad will happen!! But I do think it’s best to tell him and even just communicating with a guy will do wonders to a relationship!! good luck <3

Going through the same problem only my boyfriend hasn’t noticed mine, but I feel like I he deserve to know. I’ve never told anyone, I’m scared I’ll come across as one of those girls who thinks she has more problems then she does.
