Keeping secrets
January 23rd, 2009 by Anju
We all do it. We have to. We don’t tell our partners everything about us, due to time constraints if nothing else. We have to pick and choose what we tell other people about ourselves, even those closest to us. There’s always some barrier to completely knowing someone else.
So, what do you NOT tell your partner? Of course, that all depends on how open your relationship is. Some couples hold many secrets, others strive to be as open as possible. My thought is that secrets shouldn’t be kept unless there’s something about you that’s relatively harmless, possibly embarrassing, and doesn’t help the other person to know. A secret that impacts the relationship is a significant issue, however, no matter how serious or silly. That probably leaves very few pieces of information out of the equation. Do others subscribe to that idea, or does it work differently for some? Add your thoughts to our blog, and join in the discussion!

I believe a healthy relationship should be free of secrets, or at least try and get to the stage where both become best friends and can talk openly about everything. You’re in a realtionship through a choice and being open helps you both develop and grow.
