How about starting off and gently telling him about the ed... say you have some mental health problems and that you really need to tell about you ed... don't go over the top, and take it slowly with him.. it will probably be quite a stressful experience for him, and remember he might need some time to come to terms with it.. try not to smother him and emotionally blackmail him during this time (very difficult for us BPD'ers I know, so I hope I'm not talking out of line.. just out fo experience!!)
I'm not telling you things will be plain sailing.. it took up to just befor eour marriage that i really opened up to my husband, and he was angry that I had kept so much from him... and the first year of our marriage was incredibly difficult, and I don't kno whow we survived it.
But, we're just coming up to our 3rd wedding annivrsary and htings have never been better!!! He has read a few books on BPD now and is so much more understanding of me and my problems.. he doesn't give me the pressure he used to for a start.
Good luck. Let us know how things go with him.
