He already knows you've been in a bad way, financially. Its important that he be kept up to date in the events of your life. Otherwise, why bother? If you can't be honest with one another, you're wasting each others' time. Just tell him you've got a major situation going on, but that you're handling it. Then fill him in on the gory details, and what you're doing to remedy your troubles. He needs to see how you handle adversity, over time. And he needs to know that you're a real fuck-up, financially. Lots of people have financial troubles, but he needs to know the truth about just how much of a financial train wreck you are. To keep something this major from him, with the nature of the relationship you're beginning, would be very dishonest and detrimental. If you're worried he'll leave you over it, or whatever else is going through your mind, tell him! But don't expect or ask for a rescue, from him. Show him you can handle adversity well, and that you've learned from this experience. He'll want to see what positive steps you're taking, and what you've learned, so that you won't repeat the same mistakes that led up to these events. He'll want to see that you understand all of the mistakes you've made along the way, and what you need to do to change. If he sees you vilifying the IRS, playing the victim, and not taking steps to effect real change so these sorts of things won't plague you in the future, then would you blame him if he dropped you? We all want someone who has a sense of personal responsibility, and who learns from their mistakes. Continue to be completely honest with him. He's known you for like, five seconds. He'll be looking to see how you handle this, for a clear view of your character. Man up. (Edited for spelling. I am going to start using the spellcheck feature here, which I've recently downloaded. It does work, FYI.)
