Confiding in Your Significant Other!



Are you able to confide in your significant other? If not who do you confide to?

I ask this question because when being in a committed relationship/marriage you should be able to talk to your significant other about anything.  When I say anything I mean anything as that person becomes your partner and confidant.  When all hell breaks loose in your life or when you have that terrific moment and you have to share it with someone they will more then likely be the first person you turn to.  Myself and my hubby confide everything in each other whether it be good or bad, as he is my other half and vice versa. 

For those that don't confide into their significant other then who do you turn to?  Of course you can tell a friend but what about the person you are sharing your life with, do you just leave them completely out?  I ask this because in life there are so many ups and downs and when you decide to spend the rest of your life with someone the guard has to come down and you should be able to tell that person anything.  If this isn't the case then how can you have a healthy relationship?  There are situations where he may confide to you about things but he notices that you don't do the same with him so he has stopped.  Do you have the right to get pissed off at your other half because of this?  The answer is no because he is only giving what he is getting.  If you are the type who has a very hard time with confiding to your significant other just talk to them and let them know that this is a process that you are getting use to and you will take the steps necessary to open up.  From there he will get a better understanding of where you are coming from but being in a relationship and completely shutting someone out is not the answer.

Without confiding to that special someone the communication breaks down and they will have a hard time figuring out who you really are.  Always remember communication and trust are the two main entities that hold a couple together.   Without that you may not survive.

Stay Fab!
