I would like to welcome everyone back to my blog, I haven’t posted in a while, but I hope you are safe and healthy from the pandemic that’s happening in the world at this time. Please stay inside and protect yourself and others.
Moving on, today’s topic I would like to cover at what point in a romantic relationship partners should disclosure pertinent but confidential information. I would like to also point out that this is my point of view, belief, and perspective. Furthermore, information such as financial health, physical health, marriage point of view, children’s point of view, and home life. These are the topics of information that a romantic relationship should or not disclosure on. I believe it all depends on how long you been with your partner and how good or bad can you communicate with them.
In financial health, there are credit score, saving habits, and views on finances. When should a couple discuss or keep confidential about their information on financial health? I would argue that it normal to discuss financial information with your partner, however, it takes time to discuss financial information when the couple is married or had a long history together. With a long history and chemistry, there’s trust in the couple in a relationship to discuss saving, credit scores, and finances. Partners should discuss when they are adults and have at least more than 10-12 months of dating. Relationships this far would help each other who are struggling or in need of help. Also, couples shouldn’t bother to change someone’s finances, I think that a line that people shouldn’t do. It’s the partner’s money and their earnings. Each couple’s money is their decision, if they want to save, waste, and handle their own finances. Furthermore, you can share information, but not let your partner have access to your money.
The same belief of mine with physical health, there’s a certain time to discuss what kind of physical health a partner has an issue with. In my judgment, partners should disclose their mental health and physical health when they are at least 2 or 3 months together. I have thought things about what to keep confidential, but it should be disclosed because partners should know each other health problems like illness, therapy, cancer, and other physical ailments. Honesty is important when it comes to physical health because that a issue that could be coupe and support from your partner.
Marriage and Children discussion fall in the same category, in this category, it will take a good amount of time and affection for the couple to talk about a long-term future and goals. Couples should keep their children’s thoughts or discussion confidential because people are more aware now to raise a human being with someone they truly trust and love. That’s my belief, marriage as well because couples are committing to each other. These long-term goals should be confidential until partners are ready, If I’m with someone, I would like to learn more about the person and then discuss marriage and children. It takes effort, love, and commitment to marry someone you trust to always be there. I would commit to someone that I know and have a romantic relationship with more than 6 years. Until then, it’s confidential because long-term goals or thoughts shouldn’t be rushed. Therefore, couples should know they have options to explore life without being with their partner.
I understand when couples talk about moving in and living together, but couples forget the challenges that bring between their relationships. People would argue that marriage is normal and okay to move in but I believe that it is not always the case. People don’t realize that their willingness to give up their space and time for each other. Young couples are starting to get the idea of home life, but their not old enough to understand and know the responsibilities of home life. Furthermore, every couple should know each other well enough to live with and be comfortable with. I believe that it shouldn’t be discussed if marriage or children’s plans aren’t discussed first. Therefore, it should be confidential because it’s not always a good idea to rush or make your partner feel uncomfortable.
