follow your heart in this matter. if the guilt is eating you up tell him the truth.

You have a right to your privacy. Your dream is your dream. It's not something you should feel compelled to share if you don't wish. Your boyfriend was being intrusive and not being respectful of your boundaries. I would advise doing what feels right to you and not let him violate your right to keep whatever you choose, private . He asked, you told him to drop it. It should have ended there. IMO you need not feel guilty for not sharing dreams.

When we have been abused we need all the support we can get. This is not going to go away, and if he is your partner, then maybe honesty might be the best answer. If he can't handle the truth, your painful past and your journey to healing then i would rethink who i was dating. Reverse the tables and put it all on him, what would you want as a lover/partner?

I told my boyfriend when we were a few years into our relationship and before we were going to be getting intimate.

He took it ok, and that was it. I wasn't symptomatic at the time.

I later married him, and at 32...I have PTSD and am having probs from my SA history.

It sucks...and yes, you need all the support you can get.

If he's a keeper, then maybe you should tell??....It's up to you to know when and if you divulge.

TOUGH QUESTIONS i SAY AS GREGORY SAID FOLLOW YOUR HEART.

If you feel like you need to share this with him, if he loves you he will understand and want to see you happy. If he doesn't then he wasn't worth your time anyway. My belief is that if you keep something secret from your "other half" then that's just more that keeps building and building and tearing you apart. I never keep anything from my boyfriend, at least I try not to and I think that it helps our relationship. There's already enough in the world going to try to tear you apart, secrets shouldn't be one of them. But that's only if you're really serious about him. If you don't feel the need to tell, then I also believe you shouldn't have to. I wish I could just give you a straight-up answer like "No he won't leave." or something like that, but I can't. All I can do is give you my opinion and hope that it helps. Anyway, if you ever need anything, just let me know. Stay strong and don't give up on the feelings in your heart.
