How much should you share about your ex?
It is easy to follow advice and share everything with your new partner, with the aim that there should be no secrets between lovers. But how much is too much, realistically, when you start blabbing?Should you tell your current partner everything about your ex?Chantal H:Absolutely not! A man will listen and act like he really cares about what you’re saying and further down in the relationship when there is an argument, you will hear everything you said and even more. You will be judged, so women need to be careful about what they tell a man especially if that man is jealous and possessive.Andrene C:I am selective with what I tell my man because I am fully aware of what that can do. I shared with him once that I dated several guys at once and he mentions that every time he sees me dressed and heading out. He just thinks I am up to something so because I know of this, I am very selective.AG:Don’t do it! He will use exactly what you told him to sum you up and even start treating you differently. I opened up to my ex about my other ex that he was abusive and he wouldn’t buy me anything or take care of me. After that he started treating me the same way and even worse and that is why we never made it.Fiona:I tried this and every time we had an argument, it was thrown in my face. I wouldn’t recommend that anyone do this. Remember, your man is not your friend. You can’t talk to your man like he’s your girlfriend.Toni Anne:My husband is my best friend but we don’t venture down certain streets like the past or talk about exes. We just stay in the present and work on our relationship. I don’t see why I must spend time talking about those who are not relevant to my life. I have nothing against my ex, but he is history.
