I Was Molested - and I Never Told

I have not yet told my boyfriend who I’m currently in a very serious relationship with. I feel bad for not telling him since we’re both pretty committed to each other and have even discussed marriage a few times. I know this is something he ought to know, but I’m also afraid of how he will react once he finds out that I was molested by a woman. He comes from a very religious upbringing and has told me he used to be very against homosexuality. He seems more open-minded since I’ve met him and is even coming around a bit in regards to LGBT rights. But I can tell some negativity is still there and I fear he will think I’ve been tainted once he learns it was a woman who molested me. I’m writing about this now because I’m working up the courage to finally tell him. He knows I’ve had a very difficult and traumatic childhood, so he has an idea, at least. Even if the fact I was molested by a woman doesn’t bother him most, I know everything else will be very hard for him to hear; everything she did to me, how long it went on for and how she even got away with it. I guess this will put our relationship to the test. Either it will make our bond stronger or it will tear it apart.
