About 2/3 months ago I met this guy and we have been talking all the time. He’s everything I’ve been looking for and he treats me so well even though we aren’t officially dating yet. I like him a lot. However, lately I have been having pain in my jaw and went to the orthodontist to find out that the only way to fix it is with braces and eventually a jaw surgery which takes months to recover from. I’m so embarrassed. I know the easy answer is “if he cares about you he will be okay with it”. But I don’t know if I am okay with it… my confidence will be so low and I won’t feel sexy, and I have a strong feeling that it could negatively impact our relationship before we even officially start it. I can’t shake the feeling that the timing just isn’t in the cards for us and I will have to end things… has anyone been in a similar situation?
