I know exactly how you feel. I'm a keep it insider myself. My own family has no clue the pain I feel. Sometimes I joke around about some of the "bad" things, but I never let them know.

I developed a Cat Ballou attitude. A steely 'they'll never see me cry.' Or Scarlet O'Hara 'As God is my witness..'

It was the only way to not completely collapse.

I did eventually let my husband in. Gradually. As I felt trust that it stayed home, I told more. And now he knows just about everything about me, which helps him understand.

It sounds like you want to let him in, but are too scared. Can you tell him that? And can you explain that you want it to not leave your house?
If so, maybe you can start sharing, starting with the least important bits to test the waters and over time work up.

I know it feels good to me to have someone to give me a hug when I feel bad.
