Secrets Men Don't Need To Know
Secrets men don't need to know Contrary to popular belief intimacy and
honesty doesn't mean you should tell all to your partner or potential partner.
Sharing too much information can be destructive to a relationship. You might
feel better if you spill your guts, but your partner most times ends up feeling
much worse. Let's take a look at sexual secrets. Tell only on a need to know
basis. You needn't tell your lover how many other partners you have had before
he came along, and certainly don't give any details of past experiences. It
won't help your relationship and if something happened that has profoundly
affected you and/or will continue to have an impact on your life, you should
tell your partner. He doesn't have to know that you have dated someone once or
twice, but he should be told of a long term or otherwise serious relationship,
especially if you were married or engaged before. Withholding information can
hurt a relationship if there are serious or ongoing issues between you and your
partner. Money is always a touchy subject for couples. Couples should talk with
one another about money issues; there should be no secrets when it comes to
finances within a serious relationship.
When it comes to family secrets, you may
want to tell all in a new relationship, but, don't tell how uncle Lou dresses up
like Cinderella at the family New Years party after 2 drinks, and sings there's
no place like home. The relationship between you and your partner might not
last, and how would you like everyone in your Sociology class to know that about
dear old Uncle Lou? Keep it to yourself until they are officially in the family.
I know you want no secrets between you two from the start, but think first
before you turn out your family. Only tell secrets that are pertinent to the
situation at hand. Let's move on to personal secrets.
If there are any secrets,
he should hear them from you. You must use your own best judgement as to how
much and how far back you should go when spilling those little secrets. Don't
tell him secrets just to get them off your chest, which is not fair to him or
yourself. If the secret is a life or death piece of information, he or she
certainly has a right to know. If the secret is going to come out eventually,
your partner should hear it from you. Revealing secrets can make the two of you
closer, but do so slowly and with caution. Trust is something a couple builds
over time. Source ü Woman's own magazine
