I had to lay out everything for my family before they would release me from ip ... being totally upfront has made it easier on my family I truly believe...

others ... only as needed to know ... which means very few ....

when to tell a new love interest ... I might wait for them to ask ... if they never see anything wrong then why open that can of worms ...

but ... if they find out later ... it could seem as if you did not trust them ... my advise is to just be honest and if it comes up be completely open ... if your rejected maybe it might be for the best ... good luck my friend ...
