Okay, a while ago i was cutting myself over some anxiety problems. No, i wasn't like, trying to kill myself or going for my wrists, it was alot milder than that to try and relieve myself of some distress. I've stopped now because i think it's stupid. Me and my boyfriend got into a really deep conversation and i decided to confide in him and confess what i was doing (dick move i know, am i trying to scare him away?? *sigh*) Anyway, he didn't seem to make a big deal out of it, and when we got into a conversation about it again, he said that he wasn't really checking to see if i was still doing it, and that he wasn't overly freaked out by it and that 'It's just that you have a problem, it's not your fault, it's not anyone's fault'. He is such a wonderful human being and i know that he cares about me and loves me. But because i'm a phsyco bitch, it makes me feel like he didn't really care about it. If someone had told me about it i would at least have discreetly sneaked a peek at their arm to see if there were any new marks. I love him and i just want to be happy with him, but does this mean he isn't really bothered by it? :( I realise i sound slightly attention seeking, but that's not why i told him, i just wanted his support.
Cheers x

The fact that he is not giving much attention to it is probably because he is trying to show you indirectly that it's a personal issue, it is for you to heal over by yourself, on your own. He doesn't want to make you feel odd or a victim, he's trying to be cool about it and be accepting. That is love.
Keep talking to him, he sounds like a good person to have.
I hope you have overcome the cutting emotionally. :)

Talk to him about it again and just ask if he cares. Don't yell at him or freak out or something. Just stay calm and just ask him honestly.
I think you were just looking for a different reaction than what he gave you, but don't over analyze it. [ lightoftruth923's advice column | Ask lightoftruth923 A Question ]
