Never tell your lover or partner these secrets regardless

 

You may have heard that keeping secrets from your partner is a bad idea, but in many relationships, things aren’t quite that clear-cut or easy. After all, you likely have a lot of history and detail in your past prior to meeting your partner and even some additional things that might have happened while you’ve been with your current partner.

That’s understandable, but it’s something you should probably keep to yourself. “No one is perfect and there are times you might want to bring up some of the little things you don’t like about your partner

Ultimately, when it comes to secrets about yourself, you’re the one who has to decide whether or not to tell your partner. In some cases, you really shouldn’t because it won’t do any good. But in others, such as when the secret still very much affects you, it might be about timing more than anything else

Not liking or getting along with your partner’s family probably isn’t something that you should share with your partner, because (unless they tend to agree) it will likely only upset them.

4. Deeper details of your past relationships

Chances are, even if your partner asks about your love past, they don’t want to know the extremely specific details about things (though if they ask, you can, of course, tell them).
