how much and how far back should you go into telling your partner of your past or do they even need to know what do you think

My husband and I both dont talk much about our past relationships, unless the other person asks. We dont offer the information. I really dont care to know about his past relationships, lol!

It will be simply fantastic if one could tell everything before marrying. He/she could appreciate the sincerity and still love the person for being truthful. By not telling the truth, if the news surfaces later on, it is worst and lead to breaking of the relationship.

When my husband ask me about my past life, I tell what whatever he want to know. I really dont have anything to hide so I tell him about my past. He tell me about his when I ask him about his past.

I think they should know what they can handle, if you know your partner is going to be upset with something you did in your past then don't tell them, it's just human nature.

Depends on the people. In my relationship I can tell my partner anything and everything.

I would say tell all you can so you do not have conflits in between each other. If, if and only if, you can't tell then say that you can't and give a very good reason.

Well, I think you should only tell your partener what they ask about. but they don't have to know everyhting. because i'm sure they are holding stuff back to. If all the mystery is gone so is the sizzle. so I think everything should be on a need to know basis. Follow your heart. and your gut instinct.I haven't told my hubby all i have done and i've been married for 15 years. And he hasn't told me all he has done either because we learn little tidbits here and there keeps things interesting and keeps them guessing.

You should tell your partner everything ..... every relation is based on trust ...... what if he/she learn about your past from others ?

i think you will know the answer to that as time goes on if it is time to share something you'll know it
