In a relationship, you have to trust the partner one hundred percent and therefore (be able to) share everything with him. So much for the theory. But in practice it seems a little more complicated now and then – as these examples from the anonymous online confessional platform "Whisper" suggest …
12 couples tell: I should never have said that to my partner
1. He should (!) Get along with it …
"I regret telling my boyfriend, whom I've been with for almost three years, about my sexual past. It destroys our relationship."
2. Talk about it ?!
"Sometimes I regret telling my friend that I have bipolar disorder. He's been acting strange to me since then and that's what kills me."
3. A promise is a promise.
"I want to break up with my girlfriend and regret that I promised to help her raise her child."
4. But keeping silent would not be an option either!
"I sometimes regret telling my boyfriend that I'm pregnant. I feel like it makes him feel obliged to stay with me."
5. You don't have to fulfill every (absurd) expectation.
"I regret entrusting my boyfriend that I'm bi. Now he expects us to have a threesome. I don't like sharing my husband."
6. How about a wedding ?!
"I regret saying to my friend that I want to wait until we are married to have sex. Now I'm ready, but it's out of the question for him."
7.Foolish feeling …
"I regret saying to my friend that I am poor. Now he insists on paying everything for me."
8. Make up for it ?!
"I regret that I said" I hate you "to my friend out of anger. Now he no longer believes me when I tell him that I love him."
9.How things can change …
"I regret telling my friend I don't want to get married or children because now that's exactly what I want: I want a family with him."
10. Oh dear!
"I didn't really want to tell my friend that I was doing therapy for depression, but I did it. Now he comments on everything I feel with 'tell your therapist'. If I had just kept it from him!"
11. Sponge over and look ahead!
"I finally found the courage to break up with my boyfriend! He just wanted my body and sex. I regret dating him and telling him that I love him."
12. You may not need to know everything …
"I told my girlfriend that I would like to kiss a certain person – but of course I never would have. I thought I was doing the right thing to be honest … now I regret it."
