Do you have to tell your partner everything?
Really need advice here please, I’ve been struggling the last few days :( a while ago, 6 months or so, I got into a heated arguement with my parents. Drinking was involved and it was an overall not a great fight and hurtful things were said. I have since forgiven my parents and stated a boundary, but my ocd has latched onto this event and now brought it back up. I haven’t really thought about it for months before now. My boyfriend doesn’t know the details of the arguement but I know if he did he probably would feel differently about my parents. And because of that, I have so so so much anxiety. Overall my parents are great, supportive, loving, and more and they love my bf and he loves them. But they make mistakes sometimes as we all do. I don’t want to tell my boyfriend about the arguement because i have moved on from it and forgiven, but why do I have so much anxiety about not telling him? It’s like eating at me and I can’t seem to calm down from it. Can anyone offer advice here? I just don’t want to change the dynamic between my boyfriend and my parents.
