8 “Embarrassing” Or Uncomfortable Things You Should Always Share With Your Partner
1. Your natural appearance…
When you’re in a relationship with someone, that person has to love you for who you really are, inside and out. You are beautiful in every way, and someone who doesn’t recognize that doesn’t deserve to be with you.
2. Your sexual fantasies
Yes, it’s not just serious things you need to discuss and share with him – if you’re planning to be together for a long time, shouldn’t he also know how to please you in bed! Just like you should know what works for him.
4. Your history of mental illness
If you’ve ever struggled with anxiety, depression, OCD, or any other mental health issue, the thought of telling someone about it can be chilling. But it’s something you should consider sharing with your partner, even if you don’t want to, because of the stigma surrounding these issues.
5. Your true feelings about someone in your life…
You don’t have to be rude or mean, but if there’s someone in his or her life that you really don’t like hanging out with, or someone who makes you uncomfortable, talk about it. He or she may not be entirely happy about it, but it’s not fair to you either to keep dealing with someone who isn’t very nice to you.
6. Your STDs
Always disclose any STDs to your partner, even if it seems like the last thing you should do. But it’s important to remember that this is a very common problem, so it’s perfectly normal (and healthy) to talk about it.
5. Your dreams for the future
If you have ambitious or unusual goals for the future, it can be quite embarrassing to talk about them, especially if you are afraid of being judged. But it’s a good idea to talk about it, as it can make it easier for your partner to help you.
6. Your little lies
If you’ve been telling little lies or pretending in certain situations – for example, you may have been downplaying your sexual pleasure – this may be a good time to come clean.
7. Your trauma history
Have you experienced any dark or traumatic situations in the past? If so, it can be difficult to talk about, and it may even be a little embarrassing to admit it. But, whenever you can, you should consider telling your partner about what happened.
8. Your expectations of the relationship…
Be open about your expectations and the direction you want your relationship to take.
