Re: Is it a good idea to tell ur wife about ur past ?
I totally agree.
You past shapes and determines the person you are today.
If anything, being able to tell your other half about your past shows that you do value honesty in a relationship. Finding out from someone else is more hurtful than finding out from some random. Even worse, if you came across them at a later date (the world is a small place).
I asked my other half about his past and likewise told him about mine. If a person can't handle the truth and any baggage which comes with you, then it is a good indicator of the way they will be in serious situations. Whilst it is good to share it, it is best to share it and then move on and not to throw it back in your spouse's face at a later date.
