would you ever go to your boss with personal problems?

It depends of what kind of relationship I do have with my boss, if we are friends, of course I will tell him or her, but if there is not familiarity, I wont tell my boss about my personal problems...

I have never spoken to my boss about any of my personal problems while I was under his employment. But during that time I worked for him, I was going through serious problems with my ex. On days I would come to work with bruise, he would ask about them. I would make up stories so he wouldn't ask more questions. My friends knew what I was going through, though. They were the ones who would let him know I had some problems. But the knowledge of these problems didn't change the way my boss treated me. In fact, it seemed to me that he became more concerned about my situation that he evaluated my performance and promoted me much quicker than the rest of my co-employees were promoted, which, I guess, was good for me. However I was only able to discuss about my problems with my him long after I had resigned from the job.
