Advice!!! Must One Know All The Past Of A Partner Before Marriage? by TK0907(m): 9:43am On Oct 28, 2015
This is an issue that has led to break up of some relationship that i have been involved with because i always wants to know all your past so that even if i got to hear anything from outside, it won't sound alien to me but sometimes i tend to remember some part of the dirty past and i have this feeling that what if this my partner actually goes back to this old practice after getting married to her and after this thought, it immediately change some part of me towards the lady. Most especially knowing all the past of a lady that a man intends to marry.
Is it appropriate in knowing the past of someone you intends to marry?

absolutely! especially if you are going into it for all the right reasons!! in anycase most folks lately don't give a hoot like a man transgendering into a woman vice-versa...if you need a solid foundation for your marriage, some things are just non-negotiable..

My guy u have not found true love bcs if u found true love u will not be thinking of the past.Yes is good to know the past bcs it will help d future.My friend did u know that marriage is a mystery that nobody can even explain why I have to marry this man or woman.A good woman will always be a good woman irrespective of her past.Some have terrible past and end up being a good wife while some have wonderful past but end up as a terrible woman.I pray u find your love and her past will be like is that all no wahala.If a man can decide to take a prostitute as a wife then what are we saying,please there is power of love that nobody can describe and that is why I said marriage is mystery.

Sometimes what you don't know doesn't kill u,

i believe dere are some lewd facts about ur partner's past u really dont want know...she can just tell me some stuffs n leave out the lewd ones (i dont really wanna know)

cos sometins ehen...no matter ow much u love him or her, are best left unsaid.

my opinion tho'

oga,relationship and marriage no be the same thing..it is very important

you know why ''our'' parents marriage succeeded? it was because they made background enquiries such as crime related activities in the family and other vices.i dont think such things exist cos of ''Civilisation'' and ''Its Old school'' and thus one of the contributing factors to high divorce rate in the society now..its now John meets Jane..they fall in Love..John proposes,Jane accepts.they marry..2yrs later they divorce

Yes, if been share in total honesty
Re: Advice!!! Must One Know All The Past Of A Partner Before Marriage? by Cutehector(m): 10:44am On Oct 28, 2015
People say yes buh are they willing to open up? They r sayn yes because they want thr partners to tell dem buh will they tell dem theirs too?

And people judge a lot these days. U tell ur woman u used to b a robber and u'v repented, she will judge u. U tell ur partner u slept with 100 men in d past, he will judge u.

Its not easy for one to open up abt thr past because they feel they will b judged.

The problem here isn't one being honest abt thr past, the problem is, will u as d partner not judge him or her and accept thr flaws and move on?


Think befor u want to say yes.

100% correct on your point.

The issue is not whether it's necessary for your partner to reveal the past to you,,but whether you as a human can handle such past and not let it affect your relationship/marriage.

If you know you cannot handle such things then it's better you don't hear it at all and act like you married a saint. If you are willing to hear your partner's past then be prepared to share your own past too without leaving any stone unturned.

Simple... smiley

Only the past that can affect the future. If she truly loves you and knows u love her too, she can tell her dirty past and trust that you can be matured enuff to move on with her.
