I have self harmed in front of my boyfriend a couple of times, but it's not a cry for help or anything. It's because he's said "I know I can't stop you from doing it but I'd rather you do it when you're with me so I know you're safe and I can get you medical help if you need it"
Kind of a weird situation but it makes him feel better. I feel weird about it though because like you said, it's generally a private thing.
