Hi Nikita,
I have to confess that this is something I generally have to hide from my husband. It scares him and therefore makes him angry. My therapist is the only person I talk to about this.
I haven't cut much lately due to a promise to my therapist, but even that promise can't completely keep me from doing it. But I don't tell my husband and he doesn't ask. That's why we pay a professional I guess.
Have you shown him the secret shame self injury website? It's got a section for family and friends, and probably reading through the entire site will give him some understanding.
