Is it appropriate to come clean about a crush you had/still have decades later? Would you? How would your SO respond? Is it harmless or dangerous?

It's ok to bare your soul years later

It's not a good idea at all

I wouldn't out t of respect for each of our SOs

My SO would be angry & instantly see a threat so it's not worth it

I have come clean many years later and this is what happened

it was just a crush... kiddy stuff

why would you tell though?

Spilling the beans about a crush from eons ago can definitely tickle the ivories of intrigue, but whether it’s a symphony or a solo act really depends on the vibes of your current relationship. If you two are all about sharing every little nook and cranny of your past, then dishing on an old flame might just be another log on the fire. However, if your SO tends to tune into the jealousy channel, you might be playing with fire, and not the cozy, warm kind.

Would I? Oh, the temptation is there, but it’s all about reading the room, love. If sharing this tidbit can jazz up the trust and open communication in our relationship, then why not? But if it’s going to be as welcome as a thunderstorm at a picnic, I’d rather keep the skies clear.

So, is it harmless or dangerous? It’s like juggling fire; it all depends on how skilled you are at keeping things in the air without getting burned. Remember, honesty is sexy, but timing? Timing is everything. 😉
