And he said he had to know with me - that telling was the right thing to do so I'm not alone anymore. And then he looked me straight in the eye and said, "and you have to stay alive. I can't let you give up, as much as you want to kill off all this pain."

This is good.

Trust me, he understands your feelings.

yes, it is, but the most important work you will ever do.

My situation is that my t has led me on (knowing I fell in love with him), and I am veery angry about that; eventually, I will probably tell him.

I usually tell him when he has upset me or made me feel angry. He likes "authentic."

Hugs, Sassy
