Again, I totally get you on the talking thing! Whenever I try actually talking, the words just get stuck in my throat and even if I wanted to say something I wouldn't be able to. It's the worst. You don't really realize how much it hurts until you say it.

I think you should tell him that you know he wants you to talk to a T/Dr, but then say that you would much rather talk to him... he is your significant other after all, and ultimately he should be the one with the strongest ability to make you feel better. Tell him that you want to talk to HIM specifically, and not just about SI in general. I don't know the depth of your relationship, but anyways, that is just my own personal opinion of what you could do.
