It's not really withholding, it's sharing what you're ready to share and what the relationship can bear at this time. As you become closer and your relationship deepens and you feel safer, you can share more. He will not think anything is wrong if a few months from now you tell him more. You tell what you are ready to tell. Only you know. You don't need to dump it all at once.
