It's not that I think he "can't deal with it". In fact, I fully believe that if I told him he would understand and try to help, etc. etc., but something my dad said to me whilst I was in a fairly abusive relationship applies here; "You are not a therapist, and you can't deal with all of her [my "friend's"] issues." Same goes for my boyfriend. I will never forget how much she hurt me by dumping all of her problems into my lap, and not only that, I honestly don't know that telling him would do any good. I don't know that he can help at all, but there are certain moments when I wonder if just letting somebody KNOW would make things better.
Bleh. Confuzzling, to say the least.

Would you tell somebody about your issues during a good patch, or only in your worst moments?
