My boyfriend (23M) and i (22 F) have been together for 1.5 years now. We moved in together 6 months ago (he’s from a different state). Today i was cleaning up the house and i knocked one of the boxes that I’d never seen before and i started rummaging (shouldn’t have, now i regret). It was like a memory box where my bf collected photos, concert tickets, boarding passes, etc, etc you get the point.

Then at the bottom I saw an envelope, i had this feeling i shouldn’t open it but i did anyway and it was hospital bill and that bill was for an abortion. I was in disbelief when I saw the names. It was my boyfriend’s and one of his cousins name. My boyfriend is kinda secretive about his family, like growing up he didn’t had good relationship with his parents so he doesn’t like to talk about it much which is something i totally respect but seeing this has traumatized me.

I don’t how to react?? Why did he hid something like this?? (This happened when he was 19 and his cousin was 17). I felt a bit of betrayal but like it’s not betrayal because I was not in his life at that point but i should have known such a big thing.

Later that day when he came home i confronted him and he started arguing with me that shouldn’t have touched his stuff but i demanded answers so after a lot of squabbling he said it more like a one time thing, he was horny teenager so was his cousin so they decided to sleep together when no one was home.

But what he didn’t expect was her getting pregnant, later he got in touch with on of this other cousins who was older and he helped them to get an abortion. He said this chapter is done and dusted and he moved to my place to put his past behind.

I need your guy’s opinions.

EDIT: i went to him asking about the cousin who helped him and he told me if I do anything like asking what happened in the past, how he helped him and shit, he will physically assault me, I’m shaking rn now people.
