When you get into a relationship do you just share everything about yourself?

[Christsdisciple15]

I ask because I haven’t been in a relationship yet, but when you get into one and it becomes official/serious etc, do you then just share everything about yourself and your past and your thoughts and feelings and experiences?

I’ve always assumed that when I get into my first relationship I’d just tell that person everything and anything they’d want to know about me and everything I’ve experienced.

Maybe this isn’t the best platform to ask… but I’m asking. This question applies to married couples too.

You don't have to share everything about you maybe in time you can and you have to remember your relationship with him is going to start that day that you started the past is the past and to be honest with you and I don't really like saying it this way because I don't mean it this way but it's none of his business especially if you done something that you don't want him to know you don't need to tell him sometimes just letting it all go and starting your life brand new fresh that works out the best but I mean it's up to you I doubt you've done anything negative or wrong so you know it's going to be your choice but remember this no matter what you say to him one day he can throw it in your face and you don't want that there's no need for that and if it doesn't know about it then he's not going to throw it in your face

Different strokes for different folks. Some people want to everything even details, some just the crisps of things and some nothing at all. It all also depends on how willing the partner is to be sharing things related to their past. Overall it's totally up to the PEOPLE INVOLVED and how do they like the things to be talked about. It shouldn't be hard.

Want to share/know* everything

[Molly1997]

I became best friends with my boyfriend and we talked online for months first before meeting. It’s similar to just making a friend, you learn a lot at first because you’re curious about each other … and over the course of time you learn more about each other and the bond grows.. I love to ask him questions and we are super open

This sounds ideal

[TheThingALing]

One ex of mine did exactly this and all she was doing was making me loose attraction for her fast.

Share things over time and you don't have to share everything. Somethings better left unsaid

[Christsdisciple15]

lose attraction?

[TheThingALing]

Yes because she over shared too much unflattering info too fast and not understanding that by dumbing all the negative stuff at once, it was just too much. Better to say one thing, let me understand and be ready again later

[MementoMori777]

You should try to get to know them before you commit to them in any way, when y'all commit y'all would get to know each other even more

[strateguy632]

no way, start with public stuff until tou know each other.

[TracyF]

Yes, be absolutely honest and straight forward in relationships. That's the only way you can develop an actual real meaningful bond.

[TallAnon]

Take it slow, don't need to overwhelm people and a white lie doesn't hurt about some subjects, but otherwise I see no problem with sharing everything.

[Jamie05rhs]

Go at your own pace. You don't have to tell your entire life story all at once. Just share naturally as things come up and you feel led to talk about them.

[Iron_Man]

Yes Of course I do
