Hello dear. (:

I've had this problem before too, even though I'm only a teenager. People, no matter what age, don't seem to understand. For me with my current boyfriend, I made sure that he knew about it all right away. I didn't want to keep secrets, get close with him, and end up hurt. Now not all people will understand or even try to, but if someone wants to be with you, they'll try. If they don't, then they obviously weren't worth it anyway.

Good luck!
