Do you think past relationship secrets should always be kept hidden?

[ankith10reddy]

Yes, if you are getting serious with someone. It's really important to share you past secrets. Let's be honest we never know a person completely. We always trust out instincts to make a decision whether or not should we be in a relationship with this person. By opening up it would really help the other person understand you better and it would benefit you also. But please also remember that it you don't trust the other person with your secret then it's really a bad idea to share.

No. If you're comfortable with your partner and have plans for a lasting relationship, I think you have to be honest in all areas. I wouldn't go and tell them everything on the first date lol, but once things got more serious and you start planning a future together, yeah.

[SueShe]

I am not convinced that this is the right approach because a secret can harm the other more than the truth.

Example:

Your past partner has STD/STI that he passed along to you. You keep it secret from your partner. That makes you a criminal because you failed to inform your partner of a potential lethal danger.

[SydneySentinel]

Some things don't need to be shared. Some things are good for a new partner to know to understand more about you.

[jennifer_bloom]

I knew a lot of secrets about the last guy I dated but I will keep quiet cause I respect him

[ShortCircuit]

No. Everything should be out in the open so both partners can decide whether or not each other's pasts are deal breakers to them.

[Jjpayne]

It depends on what they are, some need to be brought to the surface to be talked about like with a close friend or therapist

[B0CKSCAR]

Oh, so...
Hi.
This is the third question I've seen you've asked in the past hour. There's nothing wrong with that, just clearly there's something going on that you're not mentioning. Right?

[Iuse2hands]

Unless otherwise asked. One of those... you asked, I answered situations.

[ask4any]

Yes they should!! You changed your profile pic. Happy Thanksgiving my hero!!

[motownplayer2000]

Nah, I need to know your tendency and behavior patterns

[fgalvan]

Well they should and no one would know that there is a secret cause you shouldn't of said anything.

[Dchrls78104]

No, because they often affect present/future relationships.

[arabgoddess]

Nope.. They'll eventually arise somewhere somehow

[Heather_West]

What happens in the past, stay in the past

[SarahsSummer]

Sure. Otherwise they aren’t really “secrets”

[kingmook]

Not unless you wanna break up

[jwsstein]

Keep the past in the past

[Nikunj70]

Not necessary but also depends

[haas50]
