3 Secrets you should not hide from your
partner
It’s only human to keep secrets, but there’s a thin line between mystery and privacy. And when it comes to your partner, there are certain important information that should not be kept from them.
There might be certain things you would
prefer to keep from them probably because you feel they are not important to
the relationship or because you believe that keeping that information to yourself
will protect your relationship.
Yet there are some things that hiding them will actually put your partner off, or cause them to question the relationship altogether. Actually, some persons may never be able to forgive if these sort of information are kept from them. Keeping secrets always ends badly.
Although the degree of openness is
relative, especially to trust and level of connection as some things are better
left undisclosed, knowing what to share and the right time to share is very
important to any love relationship.
As a matter of fact, every relationship
thrives on honesty and trust from both parties.
Rough Past.
If you have ever in the past gone through a phase of wrong choices or decisions such as Drug Abuse, a failed marriage, abusive relationship, and the consequences or results of these decisions such as rehab, pregnancy/Kids, counseling, maybe even served term is vital information that you must share.
The point at which the relationship is
beginning to get serious is the best time to communicate this past with them.
Your medical Condition.
This is very important to share especially
when the relationship is getting serious and you are beginning to talk about a
possible future together.
Health status such as HIV status,
infertility, genotype, and so on, must be disclosed because your health issues
directly affect your partner’s life as soon as you both start building one
together.
Your expectations
Your beliefs about relationship and marriage, the roles you feel a man and a woman must each play in a relationship or marriage, and what you personally expect from your partner as a contribution to the relationship must be shared.
Keeping your partner in the dark about this
will put them in a position where they don’t really know what they might do to
please you or offend you. And where they constantly fall short of your
expectations, the relationship is also strained.
Apart from this, the other person needs to
know what they are going into and whether or not they can keep up with such
expectations. You both also have the chance to discuss these preferences and
dislikes and meet each other halfway with compromises that won’t hurt.
