I have just started a new relationship and I couldn't be happier. But I am also carrying a large load with me that I would like to get rid of.
A few years ago I got pretty sick and it has altered my appearance just enough to make me uncomfortable with my looks. So I have effectively covered up the problem. However, I feel that it's something that I need to tell the guy, for honesty's sake. I am being a little vague, but the actual conflict I feel is more important than what is wrong with me. I'm perfectly healthy now, by the way- it's just that my physical appearance got scarred.
Although he seems like a very caring and accepting individual, I don't know how he'll react. He may no longer be attracted to me, I fear. I don't know the appropriate time to bring it up or how, because it's very emotional for me. It's also something that I keep very private- my best friend doesn't even know.
How do you suggest I handle this situation without freaking him out?
