A friend of mine called me this morning. We discussed the issue of telling your partner about your past late into last night. So he asked me "you've argued that it's better to put your past out there for your partner to see and come to terms with, but what happens if the said issue is not in the past? What if you made a mistake and it's not something you're going to repeat? There's no leverage of them saying it's in the past so they know you've changed. Why mess up a smooth relationship because of one mistake?"
I've discovered over the years that this question my friend asked me is something people ask themselves and friends everyday. Someone i know even tagged it "when truth gets too truthful". It's important to know that we're humans, hence,imperfect and liable to disappoint ourselves and others and we should not kill ourselves for these disappointments but it's important to learn from them and become more responsible.
