My boyfriend and I have been going out for 5 months-ish now. As of recently his mom and I have become really close and i've been finding out a lot of stuff about him that HE probably should've told me. I mean, I knew that he hung around with some pretty shady people but he didn't tell me that he has some guy coming after him trying to kill him, that he carries a knife around with him everywhere he goes, and that he's stabbed two guys with it. I talked to him about it and when I asked him why he didn't trust me and he said that the more you tell people the more they have against you and the more people know how to hurt you the more they will. I just don't know what to do because I would never ever hurt him and I want him to know that he can talk to me but i'm also mad because I trust him so much and he means so much to me and it's like, I thought he trusted me too. Any advice on what I should do to gain his trust or what I should do about the fact that some guy is trying to kill him would be greatly appreciated.
Anyone who would keep that information from someone they say they care about is worthless. By not knowing, you have been in jeopardy of being killed yourself every time you are with him and not even been aware of it. You really want someone who cares so little about you?
You can do nothing about the people who are trying to kill him. You can save your own skin though by running as fast as possible in any other direction. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
