I mean of course they have the rights to know...but sometimes its just that I dont wanna cause a fight or trouble... and if it is better to keep if forever without any bad effect on the relationship then I would choose to keep it... So do you think what I am doing is wrong? how bout you?do you tell your partner everthing as in everything...

I think you should, for honesty and transparency sake. If you think it might cause a trouble, it may not. It depends on how you reveal it. There's proper way to do it, to tell your partner, a sweet subtle way that will not make your partner upset. Learn how to do it. Honesty is the best policy. If you think it may cause trouble, I am afraid hiding something might cause a lot more trouble in the long run.

I think we should everything to our partner. Ina relationship, we should never ever hide anything or it will create some misunderstandings. And misunderstandings leads to even breakups. And our partner should also have trust on us and also expect same with us.

Tell the everything to your partner is not necessary.no matter the relationship you are,the space is important,so we also have personal secret,Don't tell your partner because this is white lie.

i think you must tell everything that you think is important for your relationship^^ im a very open person and i think you should tell him pretty much everything. the way you talk seems like is something important but you are afraid to tell. dont be afraid if he is with you is bcs he loves you and wont judge you as long as you are honest^^

There should be no secrets between partners that much I agree. But I also believe to save some for yourself. I don't think it's being selfish if you keep some. There are some things that only we should know. It wouldn't hurt our partners if we keep some to ourselves if our partner didn't know it in the first place anyway.

princess8881, Not meaning to pry and interest for the sake of relationships, I am wondering just what is so damnable or so bizarre or tainted that could not be shared between 2 mature adults in a love relationship. The past may be the past but to me I feel that all of us somehow need to come clean with our partners as time progresses. A relationship as we all know needs to be mutually exclusive and for mutuality to exist I suppose we all know that both parties will need to be able to establish a kind of trust between each other. I just do not see that happening when both parties are having something to "hide" or remain undisclosed which can be exposed with time. Time and again, we will see the ugly side of things when these "secrets" are being revealed or discovered or exposed and the relationship just breaks down to an irrecoverable stage. Sometimes, I just have to wonder how a couple can really accept one another when the one party does not really know how to trust the other with one's past or deal with the others' past. To me a relationship is not about one's strengths alone but one's weaknesses and flaws where both parties will be able to understand one another and use their strengths to accommodate and protect their partner's flaws and weaknesses. True relationship is as true as it gets when we are able to come clean and true to our partners. Having something "hidden" will just bring about suspicions, distrust and eventually harm to the relationship and our significant other. Remember, we should always review our relationship holistically and not adopt the concept of reductionism. Since it has already been quite sometime between the both of you and if you see that you are steering towards a potential storm, you have to decide if you want to redirect your course to safer grounds or heed blindly to an unknown squall that could damage your relationship irrevocably. I do not believe in escapism because the worst of relationships often have such way of management. Take care and have a nice day.

it just depends for me ,you know .but not everything, maybe most of them . I think everyone should have a secret and keep it . It shouldn't be shared with anyone else .

Ya it is good to share everything to your partner because your relation will run successful.As being in a relationship you have to tell everything, no matter what ever you tell but your mind should not be changed.
