Is it important to discuss past relationship with your partner to develop the trust of sharing or is it important to hide it to protect intrest of your partner. I am not sure about the idea of hiding but heard that sharing can make some difference in relationship if it is not cleared properly on time. I am not really good person to speak much about this topic and will appreciate some knowledge or experince contribution here

Do you think it is really important to discuss part relation with partner or not

I suppose some pages are best left unturned.. I guess the profit/loss equation on this actually is in favor of loss if you spill the beans... why take the risk... your partner might not turn out to be someone who takes these things lightly and might develop a sense of insecurity in the long run.

In my opinion its best to avoid this conversation alltogether.

This is true but whats the joy in hiding the facts, i don't think i will ever hide anything.

As a women i know we are very different from men and sex means a lot to us, we may not tell or like to know about the past. It is sensitive part or life and before sharing anything you need to prepare yourself for unexpected questions and explanations which you may be able to handle on time, best way to keep the things cool and in place is to go for brief answers whenever required otherwise its better not to discuss the past with you partner.

Stick to the present and just enjoy the time, just love yourself for what you are rather then running behind what you were or what you did. aadi i hope i am telling you something from my personal experience.

I agree with parminder.. You never know how your partner is gonna react on some sensitive issue.. But again you've to be honest with yourself that you won't do that thing again in your life... Some pages must not be turned

will not do anything again in life
what you mean man

ok i am sure most of the people will not agree with me in this case but i feel its better to discuss all.

Oye i wrote "That thing again", Not "Anything again"

okies

Replying to the original post, i think yes, any new relationship should start with a truth and not a lie, i think the more you tell about your past, the more you tell your partner what are you capable of doing in the future and make them understand you much better.

Yes i agree with you sabrina, but then if you hide something and keep it down under you, somewhere always you feel guilty about it. I think sharing it would just let it go, you wouldnt ever regret what you have done then. The regret feeling might just be more than killing.
