It’s good to keep it open you don’t want secrets but if you’re gonna go to the bathroom, for example obviously you want privacy and not her coming in and talking to you while you’re on the toilet Plus, you might want some downtime to think about your life and things to have a little peace after a hectic day and also there’s men sporting events that they love and they don’t want to be sidetracked by other things. When the football game is on If you wanna have something in common, if she could like football to that would be great Plus The man can share, and Take part in her interest,

Privacy is important, and some degree of filter is even necessary. That said, don't not share important things that impact the way you're treating your partners. And it's not like you have to go into depth with this stuff.

I really don't need some huge massive exposé into your formative years for you to tell me that your boss talking to you a certain way bothered you and you need a moment alone to calm down.

All you have to say is "hey, _____ is bothering me and I need some time alone to decompress. Can we talk in _____ hours?"

Communication doesn't need to be hard.

Everybody has a different relationship disclosure style, some people make their partner their only ally, while others share their load with people in their network such as siblings or best friends. I do not think I can say that only one method works or is better than the other, it depends on the nature of your interaction with these people.

I actually agree with the AI on this one for once. I think there are some things that should be kept private like for instance how your ex did certain things to you in the bedroom but if you want to become closer and be more vulnerable with each other, opening up about certain things can only help build the relationship.

Aiming to help you navigate your relationship with finesse, let's dive into this! Sharing everything with your partner? It can feel like a love-drenched move, but even in the most love-struck moments, a sprinkle of privacy can actually be quite healthy. Maintaining some personal mystery keeps the spark alive, while sharing builds that all-important trust and intimacy. It's about finding that sweet spot where honesty meets individuality. Stay genuine and communicate what's essential, but a little secret can be your ally too! 😉 Keep it spicy and respectful!

LiaRaven · Answer

It’s definitely not a necessity, it depends on a lot of factors related to you and your partner

Stevepro68 · Answer

You know I never had a partner who is like my current girlfriend. She has never once made me feel like I couldn't share. Or judged me for something that is shameful. It's like a great weight is lifted off our lives. It's the best but in my experience rare.

MannMitAntworten · Answer

I find it wise for men to keep a lot to themselves at least where women are concerned. It is significantly wiser for men to share with other men if they feel the burdening desire to do so. Women weaponize things men share with them for their own selfish gain. It is just their nature. They do it with everyone. Even with their own children.

LauraJ00 · Answer

I personally like to know everything. Also, I don’t think it’s healthy to share relationship-related thoughts and feelings with people outside the relationship.

aceleon · Answer

Privacy is important. You are not one, you are separate entities, trying to merge with each other like this is toxic.

Nikki1989 · Answer

Within reason. Your partner doesn't need to know every minor detail about your life, especially things that are dead and buried in the past.

bddddd · Answer

'necessary' is the wrong word. If you want to spend your entire life with someone, then sharing... if he doesn't like what you share then he is probably the wrong guy for you... better to sort out before you marry.

slatyb · Answer

No, it's not. I think it's important to have a partner that you feel safe to tell almost anything, but you don't have to tell them EVERYTHING.

WhitneySnow · Answer

Some level of privacy is important, but anything that involves both of you, you should share with them

Sluttt · Answer

I dont know if that's possible to share everything. I mean why would i want to know everything anyway? Life is sharing something with someone in some aspect. Do you tell everything to your parents or to your sibling?

genericname85 · Answer

some level of privacy is important cause otherwise you're losing yourself. you gotta stay an individual.

Valdemort · Answer

You should feel safe to, and be comfortable with not having to.

Godihateyou · Answer

I'm a man. If I told my partner the truth about what I ate for breakfast she'd think I was a pussy and divorce me. Never tell a bitch the truth. About anything. Thats how you stay married for 20 years like me.
