No Matter How Much You Love Your Spouse, Always Keep These 5 Things To Yourself As A Form Of Boundaries
1. How Much You Don’t Like Their Parents
It’s pretty typical to have some friction with the in-laws. If you actually get along with your significant other’s parents, you are in rare form. Most couples tend to have some qualms with each other’s parents. If you fall into this category, you might have a thousand reasons that you could give your significant other for not liking their parents. But without a doubt, you should not list them all off to your partner’s dismay.
2. Phone or Email Passwords
Many people view giving passwords as a step in learning to trust each other in a relationship. And alternatively, the perception may be that not sharing passwords means there is something to hide. But this is not necessarily true. Keeping your devices and email accounts private gives each other some autonomy, and instills that the other partner does have trust without the need for constant surveillance.
3. All of Your Insecurities
We all have our insecurities and reasons we may not feel the most confident in ourselves. It could be physical insecurities, things you feel weird about within your personality, or any other quirk under the sun. It may be beneficial to let your partner know some of them, as this could affect the relationship. But that doesn’t mean you should overload them with all of your insecurities on a frequent basis.
4. Something From Your Past
Our past is a clue to our present. It can help others understand us better and why we operate the way we do. This may even bleed into some territory that may require you to talk about your exes and past relationships. But going into extreme details about everything that went on with your ex is probably not a great idea.
5. The Secrets Your Friends Tell You
So when you get really comfortable with your partner, you probably start wanting to talk to them just like they are your best friend. This means you may even start sharing secrets and gossiping to them like you would your girlfriends. But one thing you should never do is betray the trust of your friends. This means no telling your partner any of the secrets your girlfriends tell you in confidence.
