I relfected my own insecurities about my sexuality onto my partner, sadly i didnt realised that they where nonbinary :(

It certainly wasnt the final nail in the coffin but something i still feel guilty about.

Wait, I hope you don't think it's your fault that you opened up?

It sounds like they mean that they projected their insecurities onto their partner, as opposed to just sharing the insecurity. The latter is good and healthy, the former is unpleasant at best and harmful at worst.
