Moving forward
I need help with this guilt. I had lied to my boyfriend about the past people I had been with because I was ashamed. I was in such a bad place that it was hard to talk about and I didn’t want to hurt him and I didn’t want to relive those experiences. However I finally was honest with him and he is really hurting now. I feel so guilty about my past and hurting him. How do I make the situation better?
Give him some time to heal. Let him know you still love him and nothing has changed. Explain to him that sharing issues from your past are quite tough for you. Yoor intention was not to lie to him to hurt him. You lied because you were ashamed and thought telling him could ruin your relationship Let him understand that he has every right to be hurt. But also, let him know that you are willing to make things right. You still love him and don't want to lose him
