Should I tell him?

I started dating this guy, we've been going out for two months almost but I've known him for three years and he is one of my closest friends. He thinks he knows everything about me and that I'm perfect but he has no idea about what i like to call my dark past. He knows my first boyfriend messed with me but not that my first boyfriend beat me up and thats why i'm so distant all the time with him. He also doesn't know that i SI. It's such a huge part of my life that I feel like he needs to know. So here's the skinny about it!

He likes to make jokes about stereotypical emo kids, I'm sure you've heard them no need to write em out.

I've been clean for 8 months thanks in large part to the support i get from this very website :D :D So thanks to everyone!!!

I don't know if he needs to know, but shouldn't a boyfriend be there to support? However i also feel like he never really lets me talk about how i feel because when i talk to him about my problems i get this feeling that he's saying alright already, move on... like he doesn't even care. so what's the point?! He thinks "emo" kids like me are a joke.

Personally, if it was me, I'd tell him. Like you said, shouldn't a boyfriend be there to support you? I'm sure he does care about how you're feeling and maybe telling him about it all will help make your relationship even stronger than it is now.
Well done for being free for 8 months! That's awesome!
-hugs-
I hope it works out for you, whatever you decide to do.
Take care x x x

wow 8 months is very impressive
i agree with the above
he is your boyfriend and should be there to support you and also maybe if he knew about SI maybe he wouldnt be so quick to make jokes about emo kids - maybe he juist needs to understand a bit more
all the best x

OMG i been seeing this guy that i knew ages ago and havent seen in years til recently. I told him i'd given up which i had, and then he saw my cuts the other day and i said they were (obviously) only recent. He keeps saying 'ha back to your old emo self'. I don't get it.. what's with the emo thing!? >_<
