It's a huge relief off of me to know he knows and it isn't a secret.
If he can't accpet it now, is he going to accept it later? If he isn't willing to be supportive, or try to be understanding of your condition, then he isn't someone that is going to make a good partner. If he is willing to open up to you with information, I'm sure he is more than willing to accpet what you have to say.
Best wishes Rio, in the end you have to decide what is best for you and your boyfriend, I hope all goes well

Thanks, Typo.

I told him online last night, and he took it brilliantly! Told me I needn't have worried and just seemed to treat it like any other medical condition - I also told him how my parents hadn't taken it well the last time when I was in therapy so I hadn't told them this time, and he offered to be my excuse for going out if I needed it.

You're right, it is a huge relief! Thanks again.
