Default What is okay to keep from your boyfriend or girlfriend in a healthy relationship?

Here are some examples:Women don't have to tell their men: when their cycle starts and ends.Men don't have to tell their women: how they feel everyday.I know those are very vague examples but I need a consensus on what is okay to be kept from your significant other. I understand that everyone's relationship varies, but I'm sure there are commonalities running from on relationship to another.Also, is it possible to have a connection where they two people involved don't have to talk about what's on their mind all the time?Thanks to all who answer in advance.

First, that's foolish. He's going to find out eventually, might as well tell him.Second, true but if she asks, he should tell her or she'll think that there is something seriously wrong.If you're in a relationship, nothing should be hidden if asked.Kept till trust is earned, sure, but once it's earned, hiding things is stupid.

i prefer it when we're not talking about"whats on your mind". Thats where the actual connection lies. is in how you communicate outside of anything"relationship-related:"

Well, generally if you are open on everything with each other, then the relationship will be much more healthier versus couples keeping things from each other. If you feel comfortable telling everything to your bf, it means you trust him and are open with him, which is a good thing. I think it's not necessary to tell every single thing, like when your period happens. It's not important, unless you guys are having sex or your mood is affecting the way you act towards your bf. You should just talk about the important things that is on your mind a lot or problems that's been bugging you.

First of all, it is NOT, NOT, NOT possible to have a connection where the two people involved don't have to talk about what is on their mind all the time. Communication is literally the one thing that will make or break a relationship. I think that as a relationship progresses, and if you feel it is serious, you will be able to and should tell the other person everything about yourself. It is based on if you feel that this person really cares about you, and most of all, if you can trust that person. As time goes on, you will find a lot of stuff just comes out, such as the girl will be like"oh I feel like crap, I'm about to start my period"and it's really no big deal, or the guy will be like"I really have to poop,"and it's funny, although at the beginning of a relationship it would be mortifying. The best thing is to not overthink it, say what you feel comfortable with. But always communicate

My boyfriend and I tell each other everything unless it's something we need to keep a secret like our Christmas gifts to one another or something obvious like that. As far as the examples go I don't think you should keep that from you're partner. Men hiding emotions causes women to over analyze it and sometimes doing so causes them unnecessarily stress or worry. And as for the cycle thing, the guys are going to hear about it sooner or later, especially once they've been in a relationship for a while and things become more intimate.

I try to keep the fact that I am married hidden from my girlfriend. A man has to have some secrets. (just kidding of course)
