I personally prefer that we don't delete threads unless the creator of the thread wants it deleted. Brad, if you don't want someone to see something, why don't you just either not post it, or delete it after it's read, and ask the OP to remove whatever from quoted materials later? Part of the value of this forum is for others who come along to read the experiences of the people here and to see their journey. Deleting threads is not good for that. Just don't share things you're not comfortable sharing online.
If you're worried about your girlfriend leaving you over this, it's not a good sign that you have a good woman, or a good, healthy relationship. If she's a good woman, she'll understand. If she's not, why are you with her? Approaching from fear like this is a bad way to deal with a situation, because it breeds lies (as you are ding in avoiding dealing with your issue, deception by omission) and there is no relationship on earth that can survive lies and stay healthy. I still think you need to talk to her, especially if she loves (or at least genuinely cares about) you. How old are you and she, by the way?
