QuirkLady agony auntI think that it would be okay to tell him when you're ready. If he loves and cares about you he will have no problem accepting it, since it wasn't your fault. I probably wouldn't tell him exactly who did it, but that's just me. Trust your gut.

*hug* Good luck.

I'm sorry to hear about your past, but if the person you are currently with truly cares for you, they will accept what happened to you.

telling your current lover who the perp. is may not be the best thing to do, but at the same time, while telling him what happened to you you are opening new pathways and putting your trust in him. He will, in return, appreciate your trust and you will always have someone to talk about things with if you ever need too.

good luck!

baby_tinney agony auntok I had a realllly bad childhood I was raped by my moms ex whom she was with from when I was 3 till I was 13 and couldnt take it anymore.And finaly was just like ok dead is better then this so I told my mom. I think this is going to come down to you.I told my husband but it was becouse I still pull away somtimes and have nightmares.You could always tell him and just not tell him whom it was.That way if it ever comes out later that this hapend to you he wont think you was keeping things from him.It always helps to talk about it and somtimes having somone to fall upon is the key to getting over things.

You can tell him you were raped, but I wouldn't tell him who by.

I went through this with my brother. I never told my husband becuase i knew he'd murder him.. literally, and i really don't want any hostility like that in the family. I don't know.. this may be the wrong asnwer for you.. but i'm just telling you what i would do personally, which is somethign i don't usually do when i'm answering posts. It really depends on your situation though.
