Hot Topics Topic: Does he know your past?

I keep seeing this one at the bottom of my screen and go "Why would you keep your past from him?"

Is there anything YH doesn't know?  Doesn't want to know?  Vice versa?

Re: Hot Topics Topic: Does he know your past?

  • I saw that and was going to read the post but haven't had a chance.  Makes me think she's got one heck of a past that she wants to keep secret.  We know everything about each other and I wouldn't have it any other way.

    No kidding... I realize my past is fairly boring, but still... LOL  What if you hid something and then it came back to bite you later?!  I wouldn't want an ex showing up on my doorstep from 5 years ago only to also have a pissed off husband wanting an explanation, you know?

    I honestly am not sure how much Greg knows about my exes but he does know OF them and some basics; I know the bare minimum about his exes.  I don't think either of us cares TOO MUCH about the intimate details, though.

  • I saw that earlier and meant to click on it.  Let's see.  I'm thinking.  Anything MH wants to know, I'll tell him.  I'm sure there are things that I haven't told him simply because they aren't important enough to me to share.  I honestly don't care too much about his life pre-me.  I know a lot of it because we grew up together but there are details that I just don't want to know.

  • my hubs basically knows what I've done, there is a lot that he says he doesn't want to know, like my # of partners, he has an idea but he wants to leave it at that, but if he asked I'd be honest with him about it. I've never intentionally kept anything from him, but I also respect the fact that he doesn?t' want to know any gory details of the stupid stuff I've done.

  • I think the only thing that we purposely don't know about each other are our "number" We both make references to our past relationships but it was actually Brian that said at the beginning he did not want to know. There are also a few events that we know about, but rarely ever bring up due to the weirdness of it. I think that is pretty normal though.
  • there really isn't any big glaring item from the past that we do not know about each other.  We don't specifically hide anything from one another either.  There are very random questions that I'll ask him from time to time and he'll tell me the answer but it's really stupid.  For example: Did you ever see the movie Bambi?  His answer no.  Then I go through a long list of other movies he has never seen.  Really, we were kind of boring when it comes to the topics of "the past" that would upset most other people.

  • man my answer makes me sound like the biggest square one earth.

    Just as some background information: growing up I saw way too many people around me getting drunk and high.  Not necessarily my parents, just neighbors and things like that.  I told myself, that was not what I wanted in my life and pretty much stuck with it.  Then there were all the girls at school (I went to an all girls school) that had hickies on their neck all-the-time.  I didn't need a boyfriend then, nor did I necessarily want one.  I chose to concentrate on school, especially knowing I had to pay for it myself if I wanted to go and needed all the financial help I could get via grants and scholarships.

    This was the case for me too.  I was scary aware as a child.  (When I was 5, my oldest brother at the time was 17, my sister was 15, and two brothers in between that.)  I saw them and their antics (even what they tried to hide, like when my sister tried to commit suicide)... kind of left me not dying to do it all myself.

    Plus I went to a Pentecostal church for 5 years while I was a teenager. LOL  That kind of kept me out of REAL trouble (although my family thought I'd joined a cult.)

  • We pretty much know everything that is there to know. Like mel, it could be something small like hey did you ever watch a show when you were little or how did you not ever hear about such and such. My husband really has no dating past so nothing to know there lol. He knows of and about the exes of mine.
  • We've mentioned "numbers" in the past, but I couldn't tell you what his number is now...and I doubt he even remembers mine.  I'm pretty much an open book with everyone, but I have edited some stories from when I was 20-21 and going out with my friends almost every night...not that I was sleeping with anything that moved (in fact, I didn't sleep w/anyone I met while out) but he doesn't need to know exactly how crazy it got.
    Damn you Nest for screwing up my siggy!

    I did a HUGE Indifferent at this because I read it like "I don't know what his number is now" as in it might've changed since your discussion. LOL  Then I realized you'd forgotten like he probably had yours. Phew!

  • We have sort of, MH knows my past, but it's not like something we sat down and talked about, it kind of came out little by little. Same with his.

    LOL, maybe we should revisit the number discussion now, just to make sure.  :)  Not that I remember or anything.  I have an idea, but I'm not 100% on it.
