I posted a similar question in the SI forum..but thought maybe I could get a little different perspective here on the same issue. I recently started dating a guy... I REALLY like him. He makes me smile and I trust him. All of these things are HUGE deal for me. Because of my history of sexual abuse... dating hasn't really been a part of my life. The one relationship I have had ended badly because physically I wasn't willing to go as far as he wanted. Anyways... this guy seems wonderful. However, we're coming to a point where questions might come up about scars I have...and things that make me uncomfortable or flashes that totally freak me out. I don't know how to handle this. I don't want to lie to him, I won't lie to him. However this could potentially really freak him out... How do I tell him? Have any of you been in a similar situation?? how did it turn out? I'm scared I might lose something that's making me happy right now.
