I'm dating a man whom I think may be a keeper, and my friend is coming to town soon. I want to start fresh with my beau, and I'd rather not discuss some youthful indiscretions. Tell her that you'd prefer that he didn't know certain things about your past. If she's a true friend, you should be able to trust her. If she argues for full disclosure, say that you value honesty but that you'd like to choose when to talk about such intimate matters.
Secrets do create stress in a relationship, but timing is important.
Don't let you friend decide for you. Read our Privacy Policy . Inc. All rights reserved.
