Hi K,

You will open up to your boyfriend naturally in time. In fact, the longer you know someone, the more you open up to them. Yes, people will eventually find out that we are a mess, that we have childhood issues. But guess what, so do they. Everyone has STUFF.

What I would do is take comfort in your routines and have something soothing or productive to do when he’s not around.

Don’t know what else to tell you and I wish I did. This is a common problem.

Best,

Inky
