Q: Somehow I think you'd be a good person to ask for advice. The person I love more than anything is holding something from me; he says he doesn't want to bring it up because he's afraid it will deter me. How can I tell him that he's my best friend, that I will always be there for him, that I will love and care about him through the heavy and light aspects of life? I know he knows this, but it's like there's a part of his life that the door is closed on, that he doesn't want to talk about. If he truly doesn't, of course I will respect that, but I want so badly to understand him and know what he has been through. I want to let him know that whatever it is, I will be there because I /want/ to be there, and nothing he could ever say or do would change that.
I also want to talk more to him about college. He knows how afraid I am of that, how I keep bringing it up, how I can't hold back a flood of emotion when thinking about it. And I want to tell him how I feel that he is someone special to me; how I'm not willing to give that up because of being separated by distance. I want to tell him that everything I say is sincere, and that he's not just some high school boyfriend to me.
It's hard to bring this all up without making everything too serious and heavy. Maybe you can help me?
If your special someone really cares about you, then I'm sure that he already knows how much you mean to him, and vice versa. It sounds like your very close to him, and that you two have been though heavy stuff before. If it appears that he's hiding something from you, i'm sure thats not what he means to do. With things that happened along time ago, sometimes its hard for someone to relate tough times to someone else because that means that he has to relive them all over again. (even if it is someone that he cherishes with all his heart). However, if you truly want to know, someone who's that close to you would share it with you when the time is right. Above all, for somone you know that cares about you that much, never be afraid to tell him how you feel.

(sorry, per advicenators guidelines, only one question per request. see the FAQ. If you want, submit a seperate question ;) )
