Honeygirl agony auntSweetie, you must he honest with him about your condition before you become intimate. If he likes you enough he will be there for you, however if he drops you then you know that he wasnt the right one for you.

No easy way there... You just gotta tell him. Especially before any kind of intimate contact happens.

There is a possibility that he will fade away after you tell him, a lot of guys won't work around something like that. I think this is why you are dragging your feet a bit. I'm sorry about your situation.

In the future you should tell them sooner..that way you don't spin your wheels needlessly with a guy that will just possibly split.
