Do you think there's a difference between hiding things and being private?

Being a private person doesn't necessarily mean hiding. Some just like to keep certain elements of their lives private. Significant others should respect that.

Being private is one thing, but communication is one of the key elements to a successful relationship and if you're not sharing something with your significant other that they want to know about then you're not exactly communicating.

This is where none of their beeswax come into fruition.

Yes I do.

Respect'n your own, and other people's, boundary between public and private is good manners....friendly like.

Hide'n things, that will make a significant impact in you relationship, is manipulative and duplicitous behavior that only causes sad times.

Some little things that doesn't concern current partners has nothing to do with them. Prying is annoying asf.

being private about some stuff is not a big deal but how is one suppose to get along with them or connect if they keep being secretive

LostInTheDesert · 31-35, F

But that's not being secretive at all, if it's something that doesn't concern the current relationship, it's private.

@LostInTheDesert: you might be right but i am obsessive/possessive

As soon as you realize that your partner might be concerned with whatever is private then you are hiding it

LostInTheDesert · 31-35, F

In their opinion

Jackaloftheazuresand · 26-30, M

Because it becomes active on your part

I agree! Everyone is entitled to some privacy. Nobody is obligated to share everything with their SO.

LostInTheDesert · 31-35, F

Exactly my point, some things in my life that doesn't concern a SO, I prefer to keep it private.

People find it hard to understand this

LostInTheDesert · 31-35, F

A lot of people misunderstand this concept.

Thanos · 31-35, M

@LostInTheDesert: yeah like there are things we're not proud of we all have those secrets if they don't understand it then remind them of their secrets

LostInTheDesert · 31-35, F

@DoubleYewTeeEff: exactly!
