I think it's great that you did this! Whether it came from courage or desperation (or both), good for you! Whatever, what's important is that it's the TRUTH. You were honest. And yeah, it's scary to let T know the truth about you, but he's there to help. Maybe other people in your (past) life would jump on something like this and use it against you, but he is not those people. You must have built up some trust to be able to reveal yourself like this. Really, I think it's great that you were able to do this.
I hope you hear back from him soon so you can relax a bit. If it was me, I'd probably be breathing into a paper bag, or in bed under the covers with the electric blanket turned up to 9 ...
