Should I tell him?
I posted here once before in regards to an abortion that I had last October. It was a very emotionally trying experience for numerous reasons, and it's taken me several months to absorb everything and get to a point where I can say, overall, Im glad I made the decision I did. One catalyst for that being how awful my ex was. By far the best thing that came out of the situation was ending his involvement in my life.
Anywho, that being said, I met a guy last month and we have been dating since then. Things are going really, really well, and Im enjoying myself very much. However, somehow or another, the subject of abortion came up tonight in conversation and I learned that he is very pro life. He says that there are consequences of having sex and you need to be responsible for your actions.
I didnt feel comfortable telling him I've had an abortion, and Im feeling a bit weird about it now, knowing his perspective.
Should I tell him? Would I be doing him a disservice by not being honest? What if he could never be with someone who had had an abortion? I like him a lot, but Im not enjoying this sudden guilt--like Im keeping a secret from him.
Should I wait it out and see if things get serious before bringing it up, or would that be worse?
Have any of you ever been in this position? What do you think?
