Is it important to tell your partner about your past trauma?

Little by Little before one reacts all freaky and the unknown Trauma upsets the relational dynamic ("why didn't you tell me... what else have you not told me... don't you trust me?)

I would not do it via text especially one of those dissertation and/or emotional bombardment ones. This is absolutely a face-face transaction.

Give them enough to think about and be open to questions on that little area. DO not overwhelm as too little is better than too much. I would not allow them to jump to next analytical step until you are certain they are clear on current point.

I think it’s good to. Sharing past trauma is a time of intense discussion and vulnerability. It’s an opportunity for your partner to understand you more. Sometimes it’s a test of character; how will they react? Will they still accept me?

Do you trust your partner enough to share that kind of information?

eventually, yes… it’ll help him understand you more, and also, that might help him open up about things he has struggled with as well. it helps you guys know each other better and deeper…

Yes but not all at once, just enough so that they know how to deal with some things.
