  • Hmm, because of the sleeping issue, I would advise telling your special someone before they spend the night. It sounds like them spending the night could be a while, so if they're willing to wait on that without pressuring you too much, they'll be worth telling shortly before you do spend the night together. Just try to remind them when they ask why you hadn't said anything anything sooner that you're showing them you trust them at that stage, which is a big step for you; especially based on your past.

    Also, I completely believe how difficult people have probably made your life.

    • Thanks, man! (or lady, I can't guess by your username)

      It's probably best for me to follow your advice, instead of telling it at the first date (as most people suggested for me). It seems like that's a good time to be open towards each other.

      • Glad I could help.
        It's quite a bit more pressure than someone might imagine to tell someone something about yourself that others had criticised you for. It breaks that form of trust with people; making a trust one must earn. Just take your time. When they trust you enough not to pressure you, you can trust them enough to tell the truth.
