Do you tell your Girlfriend/boyfriend/partner/husband/wife.
Every single thing or do you keep things from them that you dont think they need to know?

Well it's not like I ever did anything so bad, that I feel the need to hide anything. I'd rather he knew everything about me.

.. I'm not telling!
. it's a secret..

every truth doesn't need to be shared

some things are 'relevant' and some things just are not

certain 'partners' I have decided to not tell some things that I have shared with others,,,just depends upon that personal relationship and what is relevant

Much like what the ladies have responded - to my knowledge, I haven't done anything that would shock him though it might not be something I could share because of XYZ reason, saying that though I have always been an open book and I have come to the realisation that might not have always been the best thing, because it has allowed for that knowledge to be used against me and ultimately hurt.

it depends on the situation. if it is just someone I am dating, no. If it seems like it will turn into a LTR of significance I will tell what they need to know if they ask (depending on how it is asked). Some things are just really MYOB though in my opinion. If it is not something that affects the relationship I probably won't go into it (such as past break ups etc) I do not dredge up old relationships.

THIS!!!!!


((((Msharmony))))


I would have to really feel super close to someone for them to know ALL my truths.

yes I also like what Harmony is saying here....it really depends on the person and the relationship at hand. there is a difference between disclosing to build and disclosing ad nauseum

and a difference between asking for a good reason and just being nosy...it's the just being nosy that I do not trust

Right! I hate Nosy A s s H oEs

There isn't much that I wouldn't talk about with a girlfriend and I am an open book and don't hide anything from them that they really need to know. I do like the feeling of being able to talk to them about anything though.

Look....I figure if she truly wants to know all my dirty little secrets then she can have the NSA go to work for her. I figure if she is that paranoid then perhaps we just weren't meant to be.

Sharing "secrets" is a sign if intimacy and trust.

You share as much as you trust who you are being intimate with.

Yes.

I think you read the question wrong,i didnt say the partner wanted to know your secrets.I said would you tell them everything or just what you wanted them to know.

I talk about my past with girlfriends a lot but I think that we all have things that we feel a bit embarrassed to talk about, or that make us cringe a bit when we remember them. There are some things that I would be more comfortable talking about with other guys because they aren't going to judge you in the same way as a woman will. In a relationship though, you hopefully do get to the point where you feel that you can talk about anything. Maybe it's like a test of true love or something but saying that, there are things, I'm sure, that most women feel comfortable talking about with other females that they wouldn't feel so comfortable talking about with a man.

who me?

If you are in a serious committed relationship, and I am assuming its a woman...
We are open and SUPER talkative!!(If you haven't noticed yet)
Bein able to tell our man the silly little things to the BIG things are who we ARE!!!
Its part in parcel with how the combination of men and women differ.
'Bout time we stop debating how hard each other are to understand...and just go with what is NATURAL for yourself!
The RIGHT person will get it, and nurture YOUR way of being!

You defuse a situation by being open and honest.

Glad 2 cu out and about Leo!

Yes, I do my best to diffuse and look to the good in any situation!
I am unsure...is my being a Leo, and me being here a "fault" or just an observation?

Never a "fault." Neither is been unsure. I did put flowers, right?! Flowers r a sign of gladness.
