Honesty should be the first priority in a relationship.There are things you should not hide your partner if you want a healthy relationship.Here are some of them:
1. Your past relationships.You shouldn't hide your former relationships, no matter how short-lived they may have been. You may think it's no big deal, but when this ex suddenly shows up, seven years later, your husband will not be happy — and will wonder if you have any other former husbands hiding under a rock.
2. Any illness you may be facing.If you've got a health issue you're ashamed of or scared of — or think is no big deal but it could be — you owe it to your partner to let them know what's going on. If you're truly in this together, you owe it to your partner to let him know what's going on and what you're doing or not doing about it. You're not the only one affected by your health, and if the tables were turned, you'd want the same disclosure and honesty.
3. Your dreams, goals, and hopes for the future. If you are planning on sharing a life with this person, you need to share your dreams too. If it is career goals, your partner needs to know what you are planning and hoping for, so that they can support you along the way, and know what they are getting into.
4. Your expectations from the relationship. Please make these very clear right from the start. If you are not upfront about your expectations at the beginning, you cannot expect your partner to conform to your requirements later in the relationship. They should know what they are getting into, right at the start.
5. Your views on marriage, and on kids. If and when to get married, whether to have kids- if so, how many and when, how to bring the kids up, these issues need to discussed properly before you embark on a serious relationship. You cannot spring decisions like wanting four kids, on your partner. These decisions have to be taken jointly.
6.Your religious beliefs.Strongly held religious beliefs can impact a relationship. If both of you don’t care too much, either way, it will be fine. But if one is an atheist, and one is a raging religious fundamentalist, it can cause problems in the relationship. Make sure these things are discussed at the beginning.
