This is a big topic that was part of a great symposium I went to last week.

"Secrecy (secret keeping from one another) between intimate partners is a proven way to destroy trust, and thus the intimate relationship."

Been thinking about it, and would like to hear what you folks think.

Please vote, and please comment.

Thanks

Depends on the secret. Some things are outside their need to know. Some things would only distress them to no purpose.

In thinking about this, lets suppose a hypothetical. Lets say that you cheated on your spouse several years ago. It was a one time deal and you swore off doing it ever again. Is there anything to be gained by confessing it now? I would not think so as it would destroy the trust that is now between the two people.

But for the most part keeping secrets as part of a daily routine from each other is not good for the relationship. Why are you even in a intimate relationship if you can't reveal your innermost secrets to each other? I guess I'm thinking old fashioned but that is my take on it.
