I made a bad mistake many years ago and I thought i could trust who I was talking to. They made a threat to me and I'm scared it's going to come true and ruin my future life of happenies with my girlfriend. Who's the best thing to ever happen to me, I was young and stupid and didn't realise it was wrong. Need someone to vent too about this as really scared. Hopefully someone can help me

Hello, sorry that you are having to deal with this.  Does the person making the threat know your girlfriend?  I was thinking that if you are positive that this person will follow through with their threat, do you think it might be better for you to share the information with your girlfriend prior to her hearing it from someone else.  She might understand and appreciate you telling her and letting her know about the threat so that it is the reason you wanted her to hear from you first.  Of course, you can share with your girlfriend that as you stated you were "young and stupid", therefore you made a poor decision to do what you did.  I just wanted to share what I thought could be a way you could handle this situation.  I wish you the best.

hey i'm not too sure what the context of ur story is but it sounds similar to mine. not sure if this will resonate with u but u need to tell her. 

i was very young and stupid when i made that mistake and honestly not telling my boyfriend was eating me up inside. i was afraid that it would ruin the relationship but i decided to buckle up cuz i knew i did this to myself. 

sometimes u might feel like u need to punish yourself but the best thing to do is just be upfront, honest, and be better.
