According to Paul A. Falzone, CEO of The Right One and Together Dating, “Not necessarily. Being honest in a relationship doesn’t mean that you need to share every tidbit from your past pertaining to relationships or mistakes you felt you made.”
First off, are there any good reasons for disclosing your secrets to your partner? According to Falzone, honesty is the best policy. Being honest about what you do ensures the lines of communication remain open and it also encourages trust, which is key in a lasting, loving relationship.
But, there are some exceptions.
Secrets Revealed – A Double-edged Sword
If being totally honest about things from the past, and things that happened prior to your relationship is going to endanger your current relationship (and you want to stick with this relationship and make it work) you may want to think twice about revealing your secret. Ask yourself if it will be better if he/she knows or if it will damage your relationship.
Remember, people are not “cookie cut”. Every person feels differently about different things. Revealing your secrets to your significant other can be a double edged sword. Either they can strengthen the bond and intimacy or revealed secrets can destroy the bond and intimacy. It all depends on the individual.
Some things are just better left unsaid. If your secret has the potential to damage your relationship and it’s not going to hurt anyone to leave it in the past, ask yourself if he/she really needs to know. But, if your significant other asks you specifically about a secret, then be honest.
“Everyone has thoughts and impulses, but that doesn’t mean they are going to act on them. There’s no need to share everything that crosses your mind. Your significant other may not desire to know that much information about you. They may prefer you keep that element of ‘mystery’,” noted Falzone.
The Trust Factor
Secrets are sometimes better left in the past because they can cause your significant other to be distrustful. Say you admit that in your last relationship, you cheated on the person you were dating and explained why. Even if you have no intention of doing so in your current relationship, your significant other may not trust you. Will they hold your honesty against you? Maybe, it depends on how fairminded he/she is.
Before you reveal a secret, ask yourself if your relationship will be better and stronger if you do. Or, will it even the playing field? If your answer is yes, then disclose your secret.
