I'm not sure that your sponsor is showing the level of committment to you that you deserve in order to feel trusting enough of him to do a 5th step with. Further, you might really trust someone but this particular detail you might want to tell to a priest and the rest to the sponsor. You do not 'owe' the sponsor revelation of this if you are not comfortable with it; the discomfort may be because you feel something is not 'right' there and perhaps you should listen to it. I'm just not sure that a sponsor that shows a 'lack of interest' in you is someone you should trust with something that is causing you so much anxiety. I can't remember for sure if I shared my worst thing with my sponsors in my 5th steps. I have made the amends for them in all but one case because I don't know where the person is, but I'm honestly not sure if I did it as a 5th step. I did admit it to God, like it says, though. It's possible if you give yourself enough time the answer about what is right will come to you. Just don't jump the gun and do something to feel like you have to, and pray about it, also.
