Hey reddit! I hope you are all doing well. I just wanted to post about something that happened yesterday and I could really use some unbiased advice. My boyfriend (22 male) pressured a secret out of me yesterday. He told me he wanted to know everything about me even though we've been official for only a month. This secret was NOT something I was ready to share with him yet but he kept guessing until he eventually guessed it. I was mortified but sweetly he said he didnt see me any differently and he still loves me. I asked him politely not to tell anyone emphasizing even his parents, and he promised he wouldnt. Two hours later, I text him telling him that what I told him was very vulnerable and I don't want his parents knowing. He responded two hours after that via phone call. He told me he had already told his parents. I was mortified. I freaked out and just hung up before I said anything mean and accepted his calls 3 minutes later after cooling down. I told him I was not mad but just confused and he responded that he shouldn't have told me that he told his parents. I was upset by this comment because I felt I deserved to know, but in my shock, I couldn't bother saying how I felt. He kept asking if I hated him and I felt really bad and ended up comforting him the whole phone call.

Today, I have had time to think about the situation and now I am pissed. He shared my secret and them made me feel bad for being upset. He makes it seem like I am not able to be upset at him without him having a complete mental breakdown. I need to talk with him but idk how he is going to react to the conversation. Any advice on how to bring this up?
