“Honesty is the best policy.” in building a long lasting relationship. When you’re falling in love, growing intimacy is all about the well-timed reveal. A natural inclination to over share or say the whole truth can intimidate your new partner, but hesitating to disclose certain things about your past can as well cause hurt down the road. How will you know when it’s the right time to share your secrets?

Being honest can help you earn trust in your relationship. But in being honest one has to be diplomatic. Over sharing your past can discourage your partner, saying much about your future can as well intimidate him/her. Yes telling your partner everything will really not make them love you better. Sometimes your past story can scare them giving them a bad perception about you. Allowing your partner get to know about you gradually can indeed make the relationship adventurous. A Sociologist said “Its better you base your discussion on interest, likes and perceptions instead of on your past and your future, when you become intimate and comfortable with him/her other things can then be said. This she said as a result of a research carried out on relationship and intimacy. Couples who talked more on their interest, likes and beliefs where found to be more intimate than those who discussed personal issues.

Knowing the basis or telling them the basis doesn’t really have much to do with how far your relationship will go. Your new lover doesn’t need to know how many exes you have or who they are and the way the treated you. Take personal issues out at this stage, of course you are pretty a new person now than you were 5 years ago. Yes, your new love will get to know you with time, but learn not to share some of your history unless it becomes relevant somehow.Read More.http://relationshiptalks.com.ng/when-should-you-talk-about-your-past/
