Your boyfriend is the one person that you should be able to tell anything to. If you're still in the beginning stages of your relationship, you might be so focused on impressing him that you keep some of your thoughts a secret. However, if you're already together, there's no reason to hold back. If you have something to say, then say it. Here are a few things that you should never be embarrassed to tell your boyfriend:

1. That You’re Hungry
This sounds like a silly one, but it's something that a lot of people are afraid to admit when they're at a friend's house, because they don't want to sound rude somehow. However, your boyfriend doesn't want you to starve. If you're hungry, then let him know. He's bound to have something around the house that you can snack on.
***
It's important to remember that your boyfriend is your partner and should be someone that you can be honest and open with. Letting him know that you're hungry is a simple way to start building trust and comfort with each other. If you're feeling embarrassed, remind yourself that he wants to take care of you and that it's ok to ask for help. He may even be relieved that you asked, as it shows that you trust him to provide for you. A good boyfriend will be more than happy to share whatever food he has with you.
2. That You’re on Your Period
If you get moody during a certain time of the month, don't be afraid to tell your boyfriend that it's your period's fault. He knows that all women menstruate, and if he's grossed out by the idea, then he's not mature enough to be dating you. If you're sexually active, then it's extra important to tell your boyfriend when you're on your period. That way, he won't try to initiate anything. Plus, he'll be relieved that you've gone another month without getting pregnant.
***
It's important to be open and honest with your partner about your period. Not only will it help you both understand each other better, but it will also ensure that you both take the necessary precautions. It's important to talk about contraception and other methods of preventing pregnancy, such as abstaining from sexual contact during menstruation. Additionally, it's important to discuss any physical or emotional changes that may occur during menstruation, such as cramps, bloating, fatigue, and mood swings. Being open and honest about your period can help build a stronger and healthier relationship.

3. That You Don't like the Movie He Picked
If you don't like the movie your boyfriend picked or the television show he put on, don't be afraid to tell him. You shouldn't be rude about it. Just don't pretend to be entertained when you're bored to tears. If you lie about loving the film, then he's going to make you watch more films like it in the future. It pays to be honest.
4. That You're a Virgin
If you're a virgin, or if you've never been kissed, it's important for your boyfriend to know it. It's not going to make him like you any less. If anything, it will make him feel special, because he's going to be the first boy to touch you.
***
Being open about your sexual history or lack thereof is a significant part of building trust and intimacy in a relationship. It allows both you and your partner to set expectations and boundaries that are comfortable for both of you. Remember, your sexual choices are personal and owning them confidently is a sign of maturity. Your boyfriend should respect your honesty and support you. This conversation is also a perfect opportunity to discuss safe sex practices and ensure that both of you are on the same page about consent and protection. Embrace your story; it's uniquely yours.
5. That You Need Help
Your boyfriend knows you're not perfect. If you can't figure out a math problem or can't find the toilet paper in his bathroom, feel free to ask him about it. He's not going to think you're stupid. He'll be happy that you need his help.
6. That You're Upset
If you don't let your boyfriend know that he did something to upset you, then he's bound to do it again, because he won't think it's an issue. That's why you should speak up when he does something you're not okay with. You don't have to yell at him about it. Just sit him down and explain how you feel.
7. That You Have Parental Issues
No one's family is perfect. If you want to rant to your boyfriend about your parents, don't worry about him judging them. He should know all about your life. That's why you should also tell him about your medical conditions and your deepest darkest secrets. Why should you keep anything from him?
Your boyfriend wouldn't be with you if he didn't care about you, so you shouldn't be worried about telling him any of the things on this list. Have you ever been embarrassed to tell your boyfriend something?
