I think you should tell each other everything that's important and relevant to the relationship (once it's serious obv).
If I/she looks at a person on the street that I/she fancies, that's not important.
If one of us sleeps with that person, that's important.
If something big happened with an ex, it might be important but if it doesn't affect the relationship, then it doesn't have to be told. If you thought she was better at something but you love your current gf anyway, then its not important. If you slept with her, that's important.
Agree with other poster.. Should be a mutual interest to know about each others lives. Don't need to know EVERYTHING, but if he leaves out major things like, oh and by the way got into that college I wanted, then you might have a problem.
Find creative non aggressive ways to get more info.
No. Everyone is entitled to keep things to themselves.
Communication is important, so if the subject matter affects the partner I think it should be discussed. There should also be no lying.
But I see no reason to tell eachother everything. For example, I don't speak to my bf about family issues.
Most things, major things, but not everything. Everyone has a right to their privacy, and if there's something they're not comfortable sharing yet, it's good to respect that. And sometimes I don't tell my boyfriend things if they involve other people and I know the other person wouldn't want me to.
Everything about my personal problems and things which affect him.
Not my friends' problems that they have shared confidentially.

I personally need to be with a girl that can be my best friend and that I can tell anything, if she can't be that for me then she is not the one for me.
No, I do not feel the need to tell her everything. I tell her the important stuff or anything she asks about but I don't tell her everything. I think people should keep some parts of their life to themselves if they think it is embarrassing or whatever. Sometimes if a relationship breaks down, people like to tell all about that person to others.
If I had a girlfriend I'd tell her most things, and expect the same in return. I might not tell her everything though, like, I'm probably not going to pick my nose in front of her or anything.
I believe in being open and honest.
I dont think you need to share literally everything (IE: I had a sub for lunch, it was ham, I didn't like it) but its very important to share.
You are right to want to know more
personally i think that a couple should be able to tell each other anything but should they wish not too then that choice should be respected
Depends on how their reaction is...
