Is it ever a good idea or healthy reason for the relationship, to keep a secret from your partner/husband/wife?

If so, what would you consider a secret not to be revealed?

I'll go with how many lovers. When eventually asked this question I say "Can one count the stars in the sky or grains of sand on the beach?" That usually shuts them up. Me? I'm not at all curious. Were both adults I expect you know SOMETHING about mutual pleasure.

I don't like secrets and I don't want to hide anything important, especially from a loved one...
Of course there are things that don't need to be told but they are definitely not in any relation to people I care about...

That's a good one! Yes, that question is a popular one and I like the way you vaguely answer the question too.

thumbs up

There are some secrets that can be harmful if not revealed but if it is a secret that is not harming your loved one, then I think it's ok not to reveal it.

Example: In my younger years, way before I ever gave birth to my daughter, I can say there are things I did back then, that I will never disclose to my 28 year old daughterlaugh

With that being said, I often wonder if the saying "what you don't know won't hurt you", is accurate because for myself, there are actually things I don't want to know about a loved one and so, I don't ask, in fear of what may be revealed.

I will not tell my son many things I did as a kid... laugh
But that's not really keeping a secret, I just choose what to share with him...and what to skip because it might give him some ideas that will raise my hair for sure... uh oh

My youngest daughter had (has) a bad habit of finding trouble, and she always thought she could pull a fast one on an old fart like her ol' man, and I would always foil her plans. She could never figure out how I always knew what she was gonna do before she even did it. DUH! Because I did it first, long before you were even thought of!

And thank God for that...

Even when you're drinking, you can still keep everything under wraps? Then when I need to be very careful not to disclose any secrets.

If she have a "secret that she can not share" , I don't want to date her. I dont want to date any "psychopath". Everything else in life is sharable, even our darkest normal secret. Most of the pseudo secrets are not as important as some make them to be.

If I am dating seriously, and she asked me any personal question, I will answer straight, no white lies, no painting. There is nothing to hide.

I don't ask questions about number of partners, or the chocolate from the candy bar machine, or any other bs like like that. Those are irrelevant.

"If you want to keep a secret, you must also hide it from yourself.”.

yeah, George
