While I do agree that it's important to be transparent and honest with each other for the relationship to grow, each couple should have a right to their privacy when needed.
This is vital to building trust, showing respect and empathy in knowing that despite the secrecy at times, you still have full faith in your partner that they won't turn their back on you. It's one thing if you have questions regarding an action that could potentially damage the relationship; it's another if it's based on your own insecurities. Sometimes, we need to be alone with our thoughts for self-evaluation and/or to recieve different opinions from others so multiple perceptions are considered to decide if the relationship is in a healthy state or not.
So yes, I do agree to no hiding and no secrets but privacy is something to be considered in a relationship in my opinion!
Always. Just because you are in a realtionship, doesn't mean you should loose yourself. I find it an irony that we attract our significant other for béing ourselves. Then when in the relationship, people expect you to be someone else that will be controlled by insecurity and fear. You MUST keep autonomy in a relationship and love yourself or you will never truly love another person
Now if you are concerned the other person is cheating and lying, trust your gut and get the fuck out of that. Love should be like breathing
Just remember that there is nothing wrong with privacy. It's the little clues someone will leave when privacy is really something else. Does your significant other always place their phone face down, or always keep it out of sight? 70% of all communication is non verbal. If you don't learn that language in your partner you are missing so much they are saying. Frankly, body language is your privacy made un-private.
Rabbi Manis Freidman said even married woman should hide things from their husband sometimes and often times hiding things make the marriage better - the metaphor I would use is if you are cooking pork meat balls in the kitchen - the experience is better for the person who eats it - if they aren't with you when you are roasting the meat balls because all they experience is the end result and not the unpleasant process that led to the end result - just like a story is better when you aren't aware of the inferences that cause the story to take shape in the way it did - somebody said familiarity breeds contempt
I think the quote can be understood in many different ways. There shouldn't be no secrets between a couple but there must to exist some sort of privacy for each one of them still be their own selves
Every person has the right to have privacy, this applies to couples as well. Yes to privacy No to hiding things that shouldn't be hidden No to secrets that again, shouldn't be hidden. Yes to mutual loyalty and trust
The right to not get your phone checked, to not have to say where you're going every single time you decide to go out, to not get suspected when you need some space and explain why you need it. That's the privacy every individual has the right to have, which doesn't interfere with being transparent and doesn't go along with doing nasty things behind each other's backs. And that's why trust is vital in this type of privacy.

I think that a relationship is just two people lives becoming one.. they are still individuals they are together cause they compliment each others lives.. this crap about someone completing you is bullshit your a complete person on your own but it adds value to your life when you find the right person to share life with... I dont think you need to share passwords or anything like that but if he wants to see my phone id let him... id ask him if I had suspicions about him cheating but I haven't so I dont know how hed respond.. trust comes first if there's any doubt on the trust then you need proof..
yeah i think going forward there should be no secrets... but.. stuff that happened before the relationship might ber best left buried if burying it will not harm the other person the shouldn't lie and say they had no parnters.. but they shoudnt have to give details.. other than assurances al that is in the past. mutual trust and confindance is a beautiful thing..
I don't know about you but I like to take a dump in peace and have no interest in watching him do the same, so yeah. Okay honest answer tho, yeah there needs to be some privacy because while being in a relationship unites people it doesn't obliterate the individual. Each person is still their own self with their own needs and happenings but if it could affect the other person it should be laid out
There's a difference between privacy and secrecy. For example, I prefer to workout at home and I prefer to be alone while I do it, here I require privacy. Secrecy is actually hiding something cause you don't wish the other person to know cause you it's a bad thing.
Two people will never share a brain so for all that colorful bullshit notion of what a real relationship is, our minds are still safe havens for things not wishing to share... and the other would be none the wiser. I don’t mind my girlfriends having their space or autonomy. It’s healthy. Besides, if I didn’t trust them I wouldn’t be involved with them in the first place so there is that too...
its a child's take on relationships. It reeks of insecurity. People who feel like this do not trust their partners. If your partner is going to cheat you will find out soon enough. If so, no amount of monitoring will keep them from cheating. Give it up.
People have a right to their privacy regardless of relationship. They should not be using that privacy to be unfaithful towards their relationship however.
No privacy that would affect the relationship directly. Example, if they are talking to their ex, their parther should know... etc. But private and secret conservation about their family or friends that have nothing to do with the romantic relationship are okay with me.
So if a girl and I decide to become exclusive she and I should have total access to everything about the other? If she thinks that she'd best be moving along.
