Should you share your secret with your partner?

I came across a trend on Facebook where a question was asked on whether is right to share your past life with your partner?

On Reading the comments, I discovered that a lot of people was against sharing your past with a partner as that might affect the trust in the relationship.

But then, what works for A might not work for B. Do you know that a lot of relationship has ended because of lack of transparency.
And a lot has equally ended because a truth was finally revealed.

I think the summary of this is, try to understand your partner before hiding or revealing any past relationship history to him/ her. Not everybody can handle the past.
To some, it is now a past, while to others, it is such a big deal, and they will keep reminiscing on it every now and then.
And most importantly, observe how transparent your partner is, if he/ she is the type that reveals every secret to you including his/ her past, then hiding yours will become a disaster waiting to explode, especially if it has correlation with the present.

Unless u wan take ur own hand,give ur partner "omo reminder".

Of course, you should always tell your partner about your past think about if he/she finds out about your past misdeed after marriage, yawa bust.
A stitch in time, saves 9.

There are things that needs to be left under.

If you did something's that will eventually be exposed later then it's better you just come clean

It's good to come with clean hands but síbẹ̀síbẹ̀, some things are better left unsaid especially if they won't have any damaging effect on the now and future.

Tell your partner things on demand. Let the past rest and think about the future instead

If you are in a relationship with someone you have to walk on shells around, are you truly in a relationship, a healthy one at that?

How do you tell what will eventually be exposed and what will not, this in an uncertain world?

What about the issue of honesty in that situation? If you date someone but cannot accept all of that person's truths, are you really dating that person or the idea of that person you have chosen to open yourself up to?
