- I have a question about this episode 861: 35 and Chaste — Is It Too Late? | Feedback Friday and this Overcoming Self-Sabotage. I think that in the first weeks of a relationship, my mental health struggles, especially with procrastination and avoiding hard tasks due to stress, will become apparent. I'm a young, honest person, so I'm going to tell my partner what I'm going through emotionally and mentally, including the traumas I have and the toxic environment I come from, with narcissistic parents. However, I'm concerned that sharing this with my partner will turn them off, as I've heard from some of my girlfriends that they don't want a whiny boyfriend. Can you explain in detail how to approach this situation and communicate my struggles without pushing my partner away?
