Let me make it clear, I DO NOT SELF-HARM ANYMORE. I've been clean for about 2 years. My boyfriend (20 yrs) and I (19 yrs) have been together for about 9 months now, and he's never noticed my scars.

We've never had an instance where I'm completely naked in front of him, but I'm truly dreading it. Nothing is more of a boner killer, than seeing your girlfriend's self-harm scars.

Basically, I just want a way to tell him, without having him run away from me, or even possibly scared of me. I don't want to cover my scars either, because I don't want him to feel that I couldn't trust him/rely on him with that kind of knowledge. It's just a big ball of UGH.

I really need help, I don't even have any ideas on how to start that kind of conversation.
