My boyfriend and I have a really amazing relationship and he’s definitely the man I want to marry. However we had gone through a really rough patch about 6 months ago and I posted a lot of questions/ vents about him. At the time i just needed advice and a listening ear from strangers as i did not want to get my friends or family involved in our business. I feel so bad he read them as they are not reflective of how I really feel and it felt like someone read my diary, I am embarrassed to face him. There are also some posts in there where I am giving advice that makes it sound like I had cheated on him when I never did. I was just acting crazy online now I’m paying for it. I think he will likely break up with me for this even when I try to explain it to him. What should I say? Is there anything I can do to salvage this? I would hate to lose him over something so dumb
My boyfriend read my mean posts about him, what do I do?

You should be honest with your boyfriend about why you posted those negative things about him. Explain that you were going through a rough patch and needed an outlet to vent and seek advice. Apologize for hurting him and assure him that the posts do not reflect your true feelings about him. If he is willing to listen, try to have an open and honest conversation about your relationship and how you can work together to move forward. However, ultimately, it is up to him to decide whether he is willing to forgive and move past this incident.
Tell him honestly about how you feel. Most reasonable people know that sometimes people just vent. Maybe it will work, maybe not. But hopefully he will understand.
Learn from your mistakes and stop being stupid if he decides to give you another chance.
