In my previous post, I asked a question after explaining a few things about secrecy and relationships. Luckily I got some responses from a few friends on Facebook, WhatsApp, and one from the platform. I thought I should share it with those who are still confused and need to see what others think.

Favor said: “Communication is ace in every relationship not minding the nature and the consequences of not being honest could be worse if the other party finds out.”

Oseruona spoke, “I’m uncertain about secrets too because I feel that there are some things that are better left unsaid. The only problem with secrets is when it makes you dishonest.”

Angela replied: ” It’s wrong even if it has the power to end the relationship. And if your partner can’t handle it, back off. Then she added, “I don’t think there’s a problem communication can’t solve. It’s better to spill.

Promise pointed out, “some things are better left unsaid, what a person doesn’t know can’t kill them. And would prefer if their partner kept their dark past to themselves.”

Jud advised, “There are different pillars to every relationship. If my partner would prefer to hurt with the truth than being comforted with a lie, I would stick to it.”

So you have read opinions and mindsets. I am no judge to say who is right or wrong. But if my opinion would count then: follow the pattern of your relationship, if honesty is the key, stick to it. If keeping some things away from them would not affect your relationship then do it. You make the final decision.
