3 Secrets That Aren’t Worth Telling

A wise man once said, “Tell your girlfriend everything about your past to avoid any drama.” Of course, he said this shortly before she broke up with him … I didn’t get all of the details, but it had something to do with his strange “Frankie and Neffie” sex fetish. (Don’t ask.)
With his tragic mistake in mind, there are a few things that you may want to keep to yourself in the early stages of a relationship. I mean, let’s face it; we’ve all been guilty of making mistakes in the past, and that’s exactly where some of this stuff should be left … in the past. Need a guide? Here are 3 Relationship Secrets That Aren’t Worth Telling.
1. The number of past sexual partners.
I don’t care what they say; no one wants to really know how many sexual partners you’ve had before them. So unless your name is Mary and you have a fondness for mangers and swaddling cloth, keep that number to yourself. Guard it like Joe Jackson guards his last bit of self respect. (Bad example.)
2. You have a poor good credit score.
If she doesn’t have a ring on her finger, then your credit score is none of her business. So avoid the temptation of letting her know how you ran up enough debt to fund a third world country. Instead, buckle down and work to improve your financial outlook. By the time she does have a right to know, you would have turned the corner.
3. In a former life, you cheated … a lot.
This is a big one. Just because you finished 3rd in the 1989 Player-of-the-Year Competition, doesn’t mean you have to share those sordid details. In fact, the last thing she needs to know about is your past as a cheater. That does nothing to inspire trust. So keep that fun fact in your pocket in the early going.

Now this public service announcement is in no way an attempt to force you to lie to your significant other. I’m simply asking you to think twice about freely sharing certain details of your life. The intimate details of your past should be reserved for those who plan to be in your life for a long time to come … not the random passersby. Understood?

I can definitely agree with the fact of what one doesn’t know, won’t hurt them. Only in some instances though…you just have to be tactful and know what things to leave out and what to focus on.
I completely agree about not wanting to know the number of partners! I can admit that im a culprit of judging a guy by numbers
lmao @ #2. Definitely get your credit straight before proposing to her. If it’s already 700 and up, then make sure hers is good. I’d like to get married debt free.
as for #1, when a woman ask, I tell her. I guess I’m immune to caring, but it’s very rare for a woman to ask me to begin with. The last one I don’t have a problem with answering either…..I’ve never been in a ‘committed relationship’ and not cheated, which is why I have no desire to be anyone. I’m usually given the “well atleast your honest” line.
I disagree with #1 thats apart of knowing your partners sexual history which is vital to your health and well being.
#1 is important to know. You should want to know someone’s history. Knowing the number is one thing and knowing whether they were safe doing so is another. It only takes one wrong slip up. It also let’s you know if they have any standards or if they are willing to get at whatever is thrown to them.
#2. LOL Don’t tell that. BUT don’t pretend that you have a lot to spend when you know you’re going to the bathroom and calling the number on the back of your debt card to make sure you can cover the bill for dinner.
#3 Honestly if I guy told me he didn’t cheat I would think he was lying. He’s better off telling me he did. I don’t need him to go into detail about what he did, but I would respect that he told me the truth.
@C & Geela
I hope you don’t mind my asking but – if he/she likes you enough – why don’t they just go have a blood test with you…? Is that too much to ask? I always ask that of my partners, and whoever doesn’t like it can take a hike (It also means I get fewer partners, but i would rather have another ‘romp’ later – than have 5min of pleasure change everything in my life with HIV). Maybe its because I come from a country where HIV or any sexual transmitted disease is no joke, but thats always my condition. Dont like it? BYE BYE. It doesn’t matter if if he has had 1 or 25, he could have caught something that one time. So why not be safe?
