Of course this isn’t a perfect list and may not be something everyone believes, but I thought it was a good one. Sort of like a primer for a new relationship.

Well no list can be perfect, and a variety of perspectives and views is always better. Critical thinking is a must

[s4ndm4n2006]

After looking through the article more in depth, I can say that that I pretty much agree with all of the points, myself.

Thanks for that list!

It’s very accurate. Thanks for sharing it.

I’m not forthcoming on my past with regards to going in to details about my mental health. He knows I’m bipolar but he doesn’t know that I was once an inpatient a few years ago for 3 days when my marriage fell apart.

I always get nervous when I hear things like this because, in my experience, these kinds of things have a habit of almost always coming out eventually. Are you sure it wouldn't be better to just try to discuss it in an adult way now?

I don't think being being forthcoming with every detail is ideal at every phase to be honest. As trust builds more can be revealed if and when it is necessary and relevant to your current relationship. Depends on the people involved too but in most cases I think laying it all on the table at the forefront isn't really something people should do.

That's what I think too. When it comes to my in-person relationships, even if it's just friendship, I can be really private. Online is a totally different story though I think that very personal details should be revealed when I'm ready and the time is right for it, otherwise it feels forced and weird and like I'm oversharing. Some things in my life I may never feel fully comfortable talking about. I think that in the case of being open with my past, saying, "I don't really like to talk about it" is sufficient enough, or just not giving details.

Agreed but getting back to the point of why it is listed on that site is that the idea is, if you DO TRUST the other person to the point where you feel comfortable sharing those things openly it's a sign of a strong relationship. Take your most private matters in your heart and if there is that one person you know wouldn't judge, wouldn't use that information against you but would support or accept it, that is a true friend or "soul mate" so-to-speak.
