When you are in a relationship or if you are a married couple, are there any secrets that should be kept from each other for the sake of "saving your relationship". Can you really save your relationship by keeping secrets? Suppose later in your life those secrets are somehow exposed would it be justifiable that you kept secrets for the sake of saving your relationship.

it depends on how open you are with each other,you may want to start with smaller secret stuffs and if all goes well get to the nastier one. but sharing secrets, since they did happen in the past, is gonnna build up your better relationship.

I think honesty is the most important thing in a relationship. Because if you are honest with your partner then you would never have to worry about keeping big secrets that could tear apart a marriage. Secrets in general are never good because if the secret is ever unveiled later on it looks much more suspicious after being hidden for so long.

there are things that my husband doesnt know about me and I;m sure there are things from his past that I dont know about him and thats fine...I can't speak for him obviously but I know that for me, none of those things are "secret" by any means, they just never came up or havent been things I've felt the need to talk about...If they were to pop up later on though it wouldnt phase me at all....Like I said they arent "secrets"

If the secret is big enough to damage the relationship, then you're screwed either way.
