Five Secrets You Should Keep From Your Partner

Sometimes unadulterated honesty can hurt your partner to his or her very core, and is not such a great idea. Here are five secrets you should never disclose to your partner:

Count of number of people you have slept with:
If while waiting for your Mr. or Mrs. Right you had a real busy sex life with all the wrong ones then make sure this secret stays safe with you. Believe it or not, your partner will not like knowing about it. They will view you as someone who isn’t very selective and, in turn, view themselves as someone at the end of a very long list. Remember, Brush this topic off and dispose it as soon as it comes up as it’s more likely to create troubles than solve them.

Complete Honesty–It’s absolutely overrated:
There are a lot of couples who like to practice total honesty. They openly discuss every feeling and happening regardless of how atrocious it may be for the other. This is not a good policy! Before responding make sure you think through about how your response will be received and then act accordingly. Sometimes truth can be very hurtful.

Your current and your ex–Comparison:
Remember, your ex is your ex and your current is your current. Stop comparing the latter with your former. Your current partner may not be a wiz at a lot of things, but they know how to love you the best. If you’ve seen better, keep it to yourself. They don’t have to know.

Criticizing and nagging:
Ok! So your guy bought you a very expensive dress which you did not like and you are feeling pissed! Don’t criticize him or talk at him! See it this way, your partner worked hard to find something nice for you, so be appreciative, say thank you and keep your negative opinion to yourself. There will always be time later to calmly make them heard, but for now, cut your partner a slack.

Talking trash about their dear ones:
You might have a problem with one of his/her dear ones, but talking trash about them is a dodgy road to take. It’s not as if your partner is not already aware of their relative’s flaws but you pointing them out is only going to put him or her on the defensive, and possibly create problems between you two. Hence, keep your feelings to yourself!
