Are past relationships haunting you?
This is a common theme for most people. Does your past relationships affect your current?
You can leave your past relationships behind but they teach you so many lessons that you shouldn’t forget. When you first meet someone new we tend to discuss our past relationships. Sometimes there is common ground and experiences but sometimes we share a little too much and it can come back to bit you. Think before you reveal something that can and sometimes will be used against you in a future argument.
Sharing is important but sometimes too much information is too much.
I agree that revealing too much about past relationships can be harmful.
I’m in a situation where my partner refuses to reveal any information regarding his past relationships. I have no desire to know all the nitty-gritty details; but a general history of what worked and what didn’t. I feel that the conversation would help our relationship by allowing me to learn more about him. How can I encourage him to loosen up and share his past with me? (We have been dating – long distance – for almost a year and a half).
I agree we have no need to know the nitty gitty details. I have to wonder why your partner refuses to tell you about his past relationships. That actually scares me a little bit. What is his hiding or afraid of? What about sharing what you both have learned from your past relationships? Maybe, this conversation will be easier for him to talk about.
