i have a friend who just broke up with his boyfriend because of him having other girlfriends.prior to that,they planned to be together in the future as husband and wife.my friend being a single mother,introduced him to all her family members and even told his kid that he is his real father and so the kid accepted the fact,called him daddy as expected.so she told every little bit of her secrets to this man with the hope of keeping it and treasure the love they have.now that they broke up,due to his faults,he is angry and bragging about disclosing her secrets to public.for me, he is a jerk. I always have this idea that keeping no secrets and being true to your partner will keep the relationship strong and will develop a good bond between the two of you.is it wrong to tell everything about yourself to your partner and entrust your whole being to them?for me its a good foundation of respect not an instrument for revenge.

Hi! Whatever happened with your friend is really unfortunate but since it can not be rewind or changed,now she has to face it with courage.The only idea this incident gives us that too much of everything is dangerous!Its really good to start a new relation with honesty and transparency but at the same time one should also know to draw a line somewhere.If anything which is not hampering or related to the present relation then it is advisable not to be revealed.This wont be called hiding because until somebodies past has got no relation with the present it is better not to come in open. With honesty control over every action is also necessary! And still if you want to do it then please take more time to do it. Thanks for starting the topic.

I think that it was just right that they broke up. He is no good for your friend. It definitely shows from the way she has acted. Tell your friend that she deserves someone much better. He is not worth it.

I am sorry about what happened to your friend. I am sure it must hurt very much in her part because she already love the her ex-boyfriend and shared almost everything about her like her secrets. There's nothing wrong when you share your secret to a person because it only means that you trust them that they will not share it to anybody and that it is just between you and him. Anyway, it is good that your friend broke up with the guy because he is not deserving for all the love. Apparently, your friend will be able to move on. There are still many fishes in the sea. Stay positive and keep life moving especially for her daughter/son.

Hi friend, sad to hear about your friends story, there is nothing wrong in her activity, but the person she selected was wrong and shown his real face, better to keep distance from him and grow up his son as a single mother. It is really hard to live with a person who is having contacts with lot of women's.

the truth will set them free. i guess, it was the way it should be to tell the whole truth even in the most worst time they expected it the least. but i guess, because of anger he bursts his feelings to open the real fact where both of them who only must knew the secret they kept hiding for longer of time. what happened was bad but for me, it was a blessing in disguise for it is not right to kept secrets like that for the son has the right to know the truth no matter what. it was just being revealed in inappropriate time and too bad the medium was the person your friend believed can be trusted upon. that is the pain there but time will heal it. i hope your friend can move on easily or settle the problem.. God bless with her.

If there's one thing I have to have in a relationship is Honesty. Keeping secrets will always get you into trouble because you forget the lies you told.

I'm not sure about telling your loved one everything at least not until you've been together for some time. Or then if you hide something and then tell them they might think they can't trust you since you waited so long to tell them. This is kind of a hard call to make. So he is the one who is angry when he is the one who was cheating on her. She is the one with the right to be angry, not him.

We can be true with other girlfriend or boy friend. but everybody has secret, i don't think it is a good decesion to tell him'her everything. becasue the society is too hard to believe...we must learn to how to protect ourselves... be a true person but know how to protect ourselves.

That is awful that he would do that to her. It just goes to show that he really doesn't have respect for her. I think that until you have really made that commitment of marriage or are about to then you can tell them if you think they need to know about it. However with dating it's not a good idea because like this situation shows individuals can use it for revenge if the relationship doesn't work out.

Love, trust and respect goes hand in hand in any relationship for it to be successful and mutually beneficial for both. Once one of these is lacking, there will be problems which will badly affect the relationship. I'm sorry to hear that your friend has to go through this. And my heart goes to her young kid who practically accepted the guy to be his dad only to be let down just like that. But then, when you try to look at this on a brighter side, at least she isn't married yet and tied down to that kind of person when she discovered his real personality. It would be way more difficult for her and her kid if they find themselves living with a man like that. I know that they are still hurting now, but someday, they will be able to put this back behind them and they will find someone worthy of them and their love. For now, just be the good friend that you are and let them know that you're there for them if ever they need you.

Yes, honesty is important in every relationship, but there are things that we shoukd keep to ourselves. What your friend experienced is not easy, I know that she is hurt, but you must try to help her stand back up, and move on with her life. And make everything that happened now be her learning experience. And yes, I agree that man is a jerk!

Relation ends when either of mate don't trust on either of them, do not keep faith on either of them, because of lack of understanding and forgiveness. Above all ego in either of them. It is also find that most of boys in relationship treat his girlfriend as his slave, he puts several restrictions on her, restrict on her constitutional privacy. This why I think. I may be wrong.
