I'm a cutter, or at least i used to be. when i started going out with my boyfriend i stopped. i still told him about what i used to do and he gave me a hard time about it, not like making fun of me, but told me never to do it again. he's asked me why i did it and i never could explain. yesterday i did it again and it was the first time in a couple months. i don't know how to tell him, but i know i should cause he's going to see the marks at some point and it would be better if i told him first. what should i say?

Try as best you can to make him understand why you did it. I'm sure thats not that easy. Sometimes you don't know why, just things get so messed up. I understand, I use to cut too. Sometimes explaining why you did it is harder then doing it. Hes your boyfriend, he should respect your decisions even if they are not good. Ask him if when you feel like cutting if you can call him and talk to him instead, so you have someone to talk to instead of going to the blade. Just be honest with him, and its understandable for him to get upset, but don't expect him to understand. Noone really understands the mind of a cutter, unless they have cut too. So just try your best to explain it to him. Hope this helped some. [ disasterxwoah's advice column | Ask disasterxwoah A Question ]
