How do I tell him the whole truth? I'm really scared...


Question Posted Wednesday August 15 2007, 7:31 am

I'm 17, and 5 years ago something really horrible happened to me. I accidently let it slip to this guy I really like and he said he wanted to hear the whole story, but I was too scared to tell him then... I haven't been able to sleep for 3 days, and I think I do want to tell him what happened, but theres no way I can just bring it up in convresation, I'm too scared, plus he hasnt even mentioned it since I told him, I don't know if thats because he doesn't care or he thinks its what I want...
How can I tell him? Should I even bother?

I'm sure he hasn't mentioned it, because he knows it an uncomfortable subject, and the last thing he want is for you to be uncomfortable.

Just tell him then when you're ready, you'll tell him what happened.

As for preparing, I don't know what to tell you.

I don't know what happened, but I don know that when you're ready, you'll know.

If you are losing sleep, you should get it off your chest. Since it was something really bad that happened to you, he is likely not bringing it back up because he doesn't want to continue to rip open old wounds, not because he doesn't care.

Just tell him "I didn't tell you the entire story, and it's really bothering me." I'm sure he will be more than willing to listen to you and not be offended that you didn't tell him the whole truth before.

I think that if it's not letting you get sleep, you should just confront him online or anywhere you're alone. Say something like, "Hey, I was really scared when I was telling you about what happened to me, and I was too scared to tell you the rest, but it's bothering me that I didn't, so I wanna tell you now." If he wanted ot hear the whole story, I'm sure he cares about you, and he may even like you. If you guys start a relationship, it's best that he knows so that you wont always be hiding the rest of that story from him. The reason he didn't mention it in conversation is probably because he knew that you were scared, he probably though you just didn't like talking about it or something. So, try confronting him online or anytime when you 2 are alone. Hope I helped, good luck. =]
