I hope you can get communication flowing. It gets harder and harder for other people on the receiving end to process the info-bomb, the more stuff is bottled up before going off. I'm no saint in this, and have started working on it somewhat consciously during the last few years. I mean I've started sharing more and more about my inner stuff with my partner - I think we have always shared everything, but we don't tend to include closet-skeletons in "everything". Everyday, casual stuff like telling her more about what I like & so on, and she has also usually shared more about her stuff. Many things that I've just assumed about the other person, but found out that it's not all black and white, never is. And people sometimes can seem really strict or orthodox about stuff when they scoff one-liners about news or whatnot, but then having a conversation about the topic reveals they have pretty nuanced views on stuff and it just comes out really bluntly.
What I mean to say, my 2 eurocents, you don't have to set off a huge blast by blurting a confession out of thin air - the other person has probably no idea where it's coming from, and the info bomb itself (not the subject of it) might be the thing that starts upsetting them, secret-keeping, worry about the other person's well-being, worry about their motivations, fear of not knowing the other person after all etc. From your posts I remember reading that you've brought the subject up sometimes but since you still have some cold feet about it, makes me think there might be a large enough gap between what you two have talked about and what the reality of the matter is. These gaps are what separates us from other people, and have to be crossed from both sides, meaning you need to build knowledge about the other person, but also yourself. The gaps are made as much from self-doubt as doubts about the other person.
I'd think once you two are close enough bridging that gap, the "I grew these myself because (...)" should come out pretty naturally, almost without thinking.
