A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

My ex told me he would hit me if I cheated on him and he forced me to do sexual acts I did not want to.

My bf wants to know more about my past relationships and how they ended. Do I tell him?

I was also sexually abused and I don't know if that's something I should share. It still effects me but I don't know how he'll react. One bf

If you believe you can trust him, then yes, tell him. And don't hold back, as the post below says. Also, it might be worth getting yourself some counselling if you've been treated this way, so you can face everything and understand it. Lots of luck.

HereAreMyTwoCents agony auntI think that you should just tell him everything to get it off your chest, and because he asked and wants to know. He should appreciate your honesty, and the fact that you trust him enough to tell him all of this. It is never wrong to tell the truth when asked. When you tell him, cry if that's what you feel like doing, don't hold it back. Someone who loves you should be there to listen to you and comfort you. And if your boyfriend loves you that is what he will do.
