Despite How Close You Might Be With Your Partner, Folks Online Suggest You Never Share These 30 Things So That Your Relationship Will Last

I wrote a journal for many years but stopped when as an adult my mum took my journal (not the one I was writing) and read it. She later told family members what I'd written and used it in arguments against me. That was several years ago and I stopped writing the day I found out my trust had been broken. I recently bought a house with my partner and he told me if I wanted to write again he promised me he would never look. So I am back writing every day, my journal ives on my desk and I have no doubt my partner will keep his word. The only time I will move it is when my mother visits!

Actually, just want to give a tip. :) When my husband and I moved last time, I had to lug the massive box of our letters and cards from practically 20 years of being together. I decided then to buy a journal and since, we no longer exchange cards. Holidays, birthdays, special occasions, and little lovenotes are all now in this ONE journal. It has been surprisingly nice! Just a cute idea for other couples. :)

Fortunately most people have a hard time reading my journals because my writing is so tiny.

yea my exhusband used to hunt for my journal so he could read things to be mad about. i would lock it hide it,but he would find it. i had to burn it because he wouldnt leave it alone. i wish i still had it - i had ben writing since i was a young teen

my husband read mine, and because of that i've stopped.

He's gonna post a secret that he used to get the same joke-a-day as her, but unsubscribed when he saw how happy it made her to tell him those jokes.

I absolutely love this one! 💯

Let me go ahead and set this up right quick!

We recently lost our one year old cat and didn't find him for a week. Worst day ever. My boyfriend handled the remains of our baby boy so I didn't have to see them unless I wanted to. He saved my last memories of our cat and protected me from the added trauma of seeing something terrible. He is such a keeper.

The cat in this pic is so damn cute!!

My husband will automatically switch the TV station when one of those heartbreaking animal commercials come on....he knows how hard they are for me to see.

Oh my bf does this too, but he talks to my mom about it cuz she likes any kind of news. Then mom comes around and tells me, or she says 'i heard about this dog but i'm not gonna tell you cuz it's sad' xD

I grew up in a family where we weren’t allowed to shut doors (ever) and bathroom time was NEVER private. At ten years old I’d be on the toilet pooping, and my mom would walk in to brush her teeth or do her makeup (we have three bathrooms in the house). Or I’d be showering and she or my sister would walk in to use the toilet. I’m not body-shy, but I wanted a LITTLE private time. So I really appreciate that my SO doesn’t care that I close the bathroom door while I’m pooping at his house, and he doesn’t come in while I’m otherwise using the restroom. I still LIVE at home unfortunately (disabled dad) but at least I get privacy at SO’s house!

I think having some respect for a person's privacy goes a long way. If you can't even let your spouse use the toilet in peace then there's probably no boundary you won't cross.

Hubby and I pee in front of each other, np, but pooping is done alone, with the door closed. It's worked for 25 years.

Must be great to have the time, the amount of bathrooms or the bowel control to be able to choose not to do Number Two in front of a family member. I grew up with four siblings, we only got a second bathroom when I was about 12. Now I've got twin toddlers, a 5-year-old stepdaughter, a husband, and a cat with a litter box in the bathroom - I looove going when the children are in bed and my husband's at his computer, but I HAVE to go in the morning, right before work, so I rarely have the luxury to lock everyone out so they'll have to wait a quarter of an hour or more to brush their teeth or shower... Hell, my SD comes in to tell me her dreams, even if I tell her that I want some peace... It's not like anyone sees what you're doing. And it's better than having to explain tampons to a two-year-old (when SD was younger) who'll probably retell your explanation at the most awkward moment.

Totally disagree. Me and my partner are 100% comfortable with each other. In fact, our bathroom door is always open. My favourite hobby is watching him have a shower 🙈 But whatever works for you, that's what matters.

I understand where you are coming from however my husband was in therapy when I met him and had been for years for anxiety and what the therapist said was shyness syndrome. He had a brain tumor that was causing his behavior. Completely missed that one. If you look up the type of brain cancer he has all the behavioral symptoms were textbook. I finally got him to a hospital after he started having seizures and got the right diagnosis. He had also been treated for Xanax addiction and put in rehab because he tried to fill the same prescription at several different pharmacies in one day. And they gave him the pills. He was having seizures the whole time. The staff thought it was withdraws and laughed at him. He bought multiple scripts because the tumor was in his short term memory core and he did not remember picking up the other bottles. So things are not always cut and dry. Take care of each other especially if your partner is vulnerable.

I have shared stuff with my SO, but it's been on a voluntary basis. He's mainly interested in what he can do to help, mainly making me snap out of destructive spirals.

Wow. Tell me you're controlling and insecure without actually saying it. She just wanted to find out whether or not you were talking about her. She probably is one of those people who would insist of joining a session to talk smack about you and expect to be backed up by the therapist. My family only ever asked how it was. If I wanted I could go into detail. If not - then it was enough to know that I had a good session.

If wanted to talk to yoi id talk to you, not pay someone else, lol

Fat and old don't equal ugly.

After 22 years together we see each other with "lovers eyes" he's the most beautiful thing to me and he says the same thing about me

this post is all i needa read today lol on point

This is one of the most touching things I've ever read good on you kind sir!

My man always tells me I'm beautiful even when I feel gross as ever!

For some reason my partner always saw fit to tell me how hot other women were. One day I told him it was hurtful to hear

100% , in the beginning my bf thought total honesty at all times was a good idea... after I lost my sh*t a couple times he learned . I'm jealous, insecure and easily hurt, I don't wanna know everything.

My soon to be ex gets blackout drunk and unloads all his stress onto me by telling me how much he hates everything about me, the house, the cat, etc.. I already had a husband who was verbally and mentally abusive. Once my current partner started this cr@p. I told him I was done.

I hide my fabric scissors for this reason. Don't go using my good scissors on the chip bag

The only pairs of scissors that are "hidden" are the ones I use in my craft room. He cannot use them. There are enough pairs around the house for him to choose from.

I have a hidden stash of pens. I should also have secret scissors.

When our dishwasher was broken, I had a hidden fork. I always washed my dishes after eating, he only did dishes if he needed them and there were no clean ones. And I didn't reduce myself to do the dishes of a grown man (both of us working/studying). After a couple of times he stole the only clean fork (that I washed), I started hiding it.
