After I logged out yesterday, I was building myself up to text him and I planned to do it at 5pm and just couldn't bring myself to do it. I came on here later in the evening without signing in just to read the thread and saw so many messages about people who have been in a similar position to me and knew I had to do it but out of the blue he text me saying "I'm really confusedeverything was great.. What went wrong?" I replied telling him I need to see him and can he come round.
He came round just after 9pm and I was sat on the sofa with him literally shaking with fear. He asked me what went wrong and I just blurted something like this out.. I was like you're amazing, I love you but when I was a child I was really badly burned and my body is scarred and I thought if you saw them you wouldn't want me. That is why I dumped you. I then started crying. He put his arm around me and said "is that it? Phew for a second there I thought you were going to tell me you cheated on me" all along he thought he had been cheated on and the lady on here who told me about considering how he feels, I wish someone would have said that to me sooner.
We then talked pretty much all night cuddled up on the sofa, I even took my turtleneck off so some of my scars were exposed and it didn't even bother him. He even told me it doesn't matter what is on the outside, just never change who you are on the inside cause that is who I've fallen in love with. Its was very emotional for me and I even talked to him about all the bullying in school. I've never let go of the torment from the bullies and just kept it bottled up inside all these years and releasing it last night was like the biggest weight lifted off my shoulders.
I feel so happy now, on cloud 9! I have an amazing bf who accepts me for me and always would have. I was just so pent up with my insecurities that I couldn't ever trust anyone. I have to thank each and everyone one of you for providing me with the inspiration and courage. Hearing your stories was comforting to me, and without seeing I wasn't the only one with something wrong, this wouldn't have happened.
In my excitement I forgot to post a comment the other day! IMB, I am so so so happy for you. I was moved by your original thread and I understood why you felt unable to tell your boyfriend about your scars.
Thank goodness you posted on here and got such amazing advice, and bless him for sending that sweet text. He's right - it is what's inside that counts, and that's what we fall in love with. His ex may have been attractive on the outside, but she was clearly ugly on the inside if she cheated on him. He loves you and wants to be with you. Isn't that amazing??? And it's because you are an amazing person.
He sounds like a wonderful man, and I hope that you two have a long and happy future together.Life is a gift... and I intend to make the most of mine :A
Never regret something that once made you smile :A0 -

I think that is what all of us want to do to this lovely guy. Wishing you both every happiness for the future.
I can't see for tears :j0 -
