Wear pants and long sleeved shirts? Maybe it would help to come clean to him?

Its a slip.. It will most likely happen again just tell its not worth hiding it from your boyfriend.

I also recently had a relapse.
It is difficult to deal with.
It's Good to have supportive people around to talk to, who understand what you are going through.

if you loved him and he loves you - then why hide it?

It is part of who you are. You have "issues" dealing with something in your life and you use SH to help cope.

Doesn't he deserve to know the truth about who you are?

look I am a support worker ... hiding the cuts or marks is not an ideal situation be upfront with you boyfriend as he might find out either way you could slip up and he would think you have been dishonest and that you cant open up to him and tell him things ... yes he could have a problem with you cutting I know this from experience myself with my partner when I used to self-harm just tell him hunnie whats the worst that can happen xcx
