Amen.

I agree, if you can find the strength to do it, it's a good idea to tell him what's been going on in your head. But don't beat yourself up about doing what you feel you need to in order to take care of yourself. If you do, it's totally understandable and natural. You're allowed to feel however you feel ♥

(Personally, I think you made a good choice. I also have trouble sharing my emotions, and in my experience it can be incredibly stressful on a relationship if one part has to do most or all of the emotional legwork.)
