nancy,
i just wanted to wish you luck with your talk...it is such a necessary step. i am 23, and my ex-boyfriend and i broke up a couple months ago, after a bit over 2 years. i was never completely honest with him about everything in my life, things that i did not like about myself and therefore did not want to share with him as i didn't think that he would like it either. and i believe that this is what ultimately drove us apart. i look back and see that it was always building to this, the few times i did make an effort to broach the subject, he was very nonchallant and dismissed my worries...if i had seen that i deserved to be known and loved for the whole of who i am, the relationship wouldn't have dragged on so. so, do let him know, and trust yourself to give it up if he cannot accept the whole of you, as there are many loving men out there who can.
good luck! keep us updated on what happens!peace,
juniper
