Have you ever experienced something like this? A relationship where only you and your partner knows about? I think this is a tough situation to be. It's like living in a confined space. What is your two-cents about this?

I dont know if you can call mine a secret relationship but it was a secret from my family and some of my friends..that one lasted 2 years where half of it was a big secret we had to keep because a lot of them disapproved of the guy i was in love with..well,they were right,i should have listened to them.LOL.

when my bf and i started our relationship, we agreed to keep it first in ourselves because of so many reasons. one is that, some of his friends courted me before. though there's no big deal about it, i just feel that we have to make the revelation one step at a time. but few months later, they caught us. they did'nt feel bad because they understand us. another reason why we hide our relationship is that my parents would surely disagree our realtionship. so, we are now 1 yr in our relationship and we're still hiding it from my parents. its a bit complicated but some of my relatives already knew about it and same with our friends they understand us. but i dont think my parents would have same reaction because my bf has a bad record in our place and my parents, especially my mom, knew about. we still go out almost everyday and talk a lot of things. so far we're okay. at the right time, i'll reveal it to my parents.

I have never been in a relation where there was just me and him. However I once had a relation where it was asecret from his parents for almost a year.. just because we are from different cultures and he thought they would disagree. When they found out, they really didnĀ“t mind at all!

AHaha that's really good for you. Most secret relationships are secret because people disapprove of it. =) That's really nice. =)

i've experienced also that kind of relationship that only the two of us really know. it was very hard for the two us to handle the relationship because our family was disagree. until i cant hold with that situation. so i decided to quit coz he cant stand and fight also for our relationship.

It isn't worth keeping a relationship a secret if your partner cannot stand his ground. It is a total waste of time. Good thing you let go. That's the smartest decision you have ever made. =)

Yes I've had that type of relationship and it didn't last long. It's not worth having one like that. When you have a relationship, you should be able to shout it out to the world.

yeah. It is stressful and often ends up painful. It is always better to have a relationship wherein you can easily let the world know rather than having a secret one wherein every move you make is numbered.

I share all my secrets with my husband but there are a few that we do not discuss. I think it is better that way, not to hurt each others feelings or change the way they feel about you already. Some things are just better left unsaid. Thats just my 2 cents, LOL.

"Some things are just better left unsaid." I am a firm follower of this hehe.. I agree that not all things should be spoken, even if it results to lying. Some things are just better left in silence and ignorance.
