B2,
This isn't a do or die situation. One can let someone know they were abused, but not the details. The details are yours. You are still the same person that he fell in love with. If your found out your husband was abused as a child, would love him less? Would you feel differently about a good friend if you found out they were abused as a child?
Sometimes, we do need to be alone. Other times we do need others. If it's habitual to push others away, it actually perpetrating ourselves to be alone in pain all over again. You don't have to do that today. That hurting child inside can have support today. She can cry in the arms of a man that cares and have a kind ear listen to her pain. She isn't alone.
Shadowplayers - say you are just scared and hurting. It's okay, B2, to come out of hiding and give a voice to that internal scream. We will not hurt you. We are your friend in healing.
