Of course we should be able to talk to our sweetheart about everything – but that doesn’t mean we have to…
No question at all: We are 100% for honesty in relationships! After all, it just shows that we don’t completely trust our partner if we lie to him/her on purpose. On the other hand… a harmless white lie never hurt anyone. For example, how often did we save our relationship with our parents during puberty by tweaking the truth a little here and there or keeping something secret?
Ultimately, everything is always a question of perspective anyway and we are free to share what we deem necessary with others… If we think about it: There are some things we can keep to ourselves, especially if we think we might otherwise do more harm than good. To name just a few examples…
8 things you don’t ABSOLUTELY need to say to your partner
1. That he sometimes reminds you of your dad
We often look for men who resemble our father – but do we have to constantly rub that in their faces? Rather no!
2. How much your new top actually cost
Is it your money or is it your money? If your sweetheart doesn’t have a sense of fashion and style, he or she won’t understand that sometimes both come at a price. So why make his little head smoke unnecessarily…?
3. That your BFF knows everything about your relationship

Does she resemble your sweetheart? It doesn’t really matter: just don’t tell him!
6. How your ex really loves you in bed…
Bed stories with ex-partners? They don’t have much of a place in a relationship. After all, there’s another way to make it clear to your loved one what you’re into and what you’re not into…
7. What you really think of your friends
He loves going around the house with his boys, but when he tells you about it afterwards, you’re like, WTF?! Let him have fun! As long as it relaxes him and he behaves towards you after he’s let off steam…
8. That you’re actually texting mom – and not checking your email at all
Let’s be clear: Nobody thinks it’s strange if you write to your mother ten times a day and call her twice a day! It’s not your problem that other people just don’t understand it…
