Do you want to know all of the dirty details?
Past experiences... even though we like to deny the power they hold, Do carry over with us in life.
It is not a comparison of the Ex... but a comparison to say i have been here before.
Also in sharing our past experiences sometimes we find a link of similarity which sometimes even brings a couple closer together know the other understands the feeling and emotion of certain things we have experienced.
And to only share the Bad and none of the Godd is to doom yourself in any relationship...
But understanding the bad gives one a better understanding to reactions given in a radom situation with the new mate.
So it is hard to balance or state the amount.
I say be as open as possible without baring to much burden on your mate (friend or Lover)
It is always hard to open up to a seemigly stranger and equally difficult to be open in return...
Just have to take Baby steps and always be honest... if it is right and ment to be it will continue healthy if not it shall cause a ineviateble death of relations.
