25M, I have a 1.5yr long relationship with my 24 GF.

Im just curious on your guys opinions about opening up to your partner about your personal struggles. For myself I struggle with self control & discipline. And i find that when i fail to live up to my own expectations I get really down on myself.

My girlfriend sees my moods dip despite me trying to hide it and she is always worried that I'm not happy with our relationship but this is almost never the case.

I sometimes confide in her but i always worry in the back of my mind that the more I open up to her about my own shortcomings and inner struggles - the more i am damaging the idea of me that she has in her head.

I still want to be that guy that she fantasized about when we first met but of course i also want to be genuine with her and obviously it feels relieving to be able to share my problems.

Shes always supportive but i still worry about what she thinks deep down.

Any advice is greatly appreciated! Thanks:)
