I can relate to an extent... I recently got into my first relationship. I didn't want to end up freaking my bf out, so I briefly told him that I have SI issues. It's awkward to talk about, so we don't really say much about it. SI isn't something many people understand, which makes it difficult.

It dounds really good that he wants to support you though :) Maybe taking small steps talking to him at first would help. Like- just talking about it a little bit to get more comfortable. I'm not sure since every relationship is probably different. Some people may be more open to the subject than others.

I hope you're doing alright with everything :) You can always send a PM if you want to talk

*hugs and love*
