Not a secret about cheating. I mean other secrets.
Like not telling your partner about an old debt you're managing. Or about a health scare you don't want them to worry about. Or about how you really feel about their family. Or about a mistake you made years before you met them.
I believe in honesty in relationships. I also believe some things are yours to carry alone, and sharing everything is not intimacy โ it's just unburdening yourself at your partner's expense.
Where is that line? What secrets are justifiable and which ones are a form of betrayal? I want real, specific opinions โ not just "communicate everything."
