So, when you are involved with someone, do you tell that person about everything you have? Or, are there some secrets that you keep? Like, for instance, do you keep a savings account that he/she isn't privey to? Do you withold certain facts about yourself that occurred before you met this person? I ask because I was listening to a talk show where the guys were saying that keeping secret accounts was completely fine, and they saw no problem with it. One even said that if his wife knew where all his money was, she would bankrupt them. LOL! Just curious to see what all of you would say about this.

Yea, after last time there's no ****ing way it's all getting said. Maybe after a long time but not early in.

It just screws stuff up. Besides, a girl needs some mystery.

I believe in keeping separate accounts for sure. If there needs to be a common account for the household bills or something then make one common account but keep separate stuff otherwise and no need for it to be a secret.

As to people's past well that can be debatable as to what can come up from a past later and how will it effect the new relationship.

Some men want to know if a woman has had an abortion in her past for example. Does that effect the relationship? If a woman was a prostitute/stripper in her past men want to know. Does it effect the relationship.

So secrets on these levels would be debatable as to the importance.

I would want to know if a man is bi sexual or has been because if he is attracted to men that changes the dynamics of the relationship a bit. In example if I have guy friends and he won't allow me to but he is bi and has male friends, how would we deal with that.

Radio talk shows. I think lots of folks listen to those. Both our classic rock and our R&B stations here have them with the morning show.

Hmmmm I guess it would depend where you where in a relationship, why anyone would want to know what I had when I was not ery close to them I would have no idea, its none of thier business. To my frineds, if I want to tell them what I do or where I work that is fine, To my partner, well if I trust them with my heart I will trust them with what I have, however if I didnt trust them they wouldnt be my partner so there wouldnt be a problem as they wouldnt have the right to know.

I hate when people keep secrets from me but it can backfire and I'll learn something that I wish I didn't know.

When it comes to past relationships - those stay mostly secret. No need to talk too much about that.
