I have a serious question for people who are in relationships (and for those of you who aren't, go ahead and throw your hat into the ring too.)
Do you tell your significant other everything?
See, I do. If you watch How I Met Your Mother (and if you don't - you SHOULD!) Eric and I are Lilly and Marshall. You know that episode where Marshall is telling Lilly about his day, and it is literally EVERYTHING? That is how Eric and I are with each other. And I am starting to wonder - maybe I should keep some stuff to myself. Like - does he really need to know that I couldn't find any floss this morning (P.S. I go through more floss than any other human being on earth. It's true.)
And don't get me wrong - the magical allure of the unknown between us is gone. I blasted that out of the stratosphere the first time I farted in front of him. It didn't help that he said it smelled like that one time a rabbit died and started decaying under his deck. I am quite the classy little lady.
So yeah, I guess my question is: Should I tell my significant other everything?
Well, I guess it depends on you r comfort level. If that's how you and Eric are comfortable together, then by all means. I don't know that I tell my husband everything, but I share things with him that I'd never share with anyone else. (Including gaseous eruptions.)
ReplyDeleteIf that's the kind of conversations you can have without him rolling his eyes and/or walking away, then continue on.
ReplyDeleteAt Casa Mak, we tend not to overshare because, well, not that we don't care, but, well, we don't care. Plus, he's not very good at handling my constant complaining about how much I hate people.
My current boyfriend farted in front of me on our third date, so in my eyes that was an invitation for me to relax.
ReplyDeleteGod bless smelly, realistic men!
ReplyDeleteGood point.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I don't over share as much with other people as I do with him.
ReplyDeleteSee...yeah. I think we're just a couple of over-sharers who found each other.
ReplyDeleteWhy are you worrying about it if you are doing it already? Has he complained? Do you want to stop? I bet not.
ReplyDeleteNope - just wondering.
ReplyDeleteThe question is.... Should you tell us everything? Your level of disclosure makes me uncomfortable....in a good way.
ReplyDeleteLMFAO!
