Only tell him as much as you want to. If you want to keep it simple and not go into all of the little details, just tell him that you used to self-injure, or something along those lines, and if he wants you to go farther then you care to, tell him that it's in the past. My boyfriend and I have actually never really talked about it much. He saw the scars and asked, so I told him that I used to self-injure, and that was pretty much it. He doesn't press for details, so that's helpful. As for kids one day... I guess I'll figure it out when I get there. Maybe the scars won't be that bad... but maybe they will still be there and because of who I am I'll be honest, but I'm not going to cross that bridge until I get there.
