Do you believe that two people in a committed relationship must not harbor any secrets and keep their respective lives an open book for each other to flip through any time ? The policy of total honesty – what does it really buy you ? A cure for your jealousy ? hehe 😆
I think the main reason why people dig into their partner’s past is due to plain and simple jealousy. They want to know every square inch of their partner’s past. I don’t know what it is but some people fail to realize that they can’t change the past by bitching at the present. It’s all about ego isn’t it? It is like buying a used car and worrying what the previous owners did with it 😡
So what now, are we supposed to kneel before each other and make a personal confession of our past affairs , secrets and shortcomings before we enter into a committed relationship ? Comments, anyone ? 😯
A CASE OF HONEYMOON CONFESSION
A young couple were on their honeymoon. The husband was sitting in the bathroom on the edge of the bathtub saying to himself, “Now how can I tell my wife that I’ve got really smelly feet and that my socks absolutely stink? I’ve managed to keep it from her while we were dating, but she’s bound to find out sooner or later that my feet stink. Now how do I tell her?”
Meanwhile, the wife was sitting in the bed saying to herself, “Now how do I tell my husband that I’ve got really bad breath? I’ve been very lucky to keep it from him while we were courting, but as soon as he’s lived with me for a week, he’s bound to find out. Now how do I tell him gently?”
The husband finally plucks up enough courage to tell his wife and so he walks into the bedroom. He walks over to the bed, climbs over to his wife, puts his arm around her neck, moves his face very close to hers and says, “Darling, I’ve a confession to make.”
And she says, “So have I, love.”
To which he replies, “Don’t tell me, you’ve eaten my socks.”
Note : Some secrets need not be revealed – they can show up without your help 😛
BEST IDOL MOMENTS :
American Idol is back on air. The sardonic Simon Cowell who made a cool $45Million last year is back with his usual antics. Here’s a flashback of one of the best moments in idol history – two awesome bald guys ! 🙂 ( Chris Daughtry with band LIVE)

The Warped Zone 
Though it could be quite difficult and tempting at times to inquire about someone’s past, we need to realize that as long as lessons were learned, what matters is the present. What matters is that love and trust exists in my relationship with her. I think it would be quite disrespectful of us to require the other person to confess her past.
Just a follow-up for I think I failed to answer you quesstion. I do agree that most of the time, it’s jealousy that drives the curiosity/questioning about a partner’s past. Thanks.
This is one funny entry.
Btw, bet ko kaya si Daughtry nung contestant siya ng American Idol. Too bad he didn’t win. But now, he’s rockstar. I think it’s a better deal. =)
No matter how open a partner is, there are still things that remain secret. I’m sure of this. 😀
BW, this is so funny but serious at the same time hahaha 🙂
As for revealing secrets to each other, it depends if they are both okay with it then fine.
Panaderos – sorry, I forgot to put the links when I published the post 😳
There are those comfortable with the open book policy and those that arent I guess 😉
Jeff –
Chris Daughtry didn’t win but everybody knew he had tremendous talent and he validated it by winning a Grammy award last year 😐
Abaniko – you said it bro. As they say, some things are better left unsaid 🙂
Irrealis – 😛
I do agree with you – it depends on the players ; different strokes for different folks they say 🙂
Not all secrets are worth sharing. If a secret can benefit both parties in the relationship, then it should be shared. but if it does more harm than good, better to keep it a secret.
I’m not really an AI watcher, but i do like daughtry’s song “Home.” 😀
Towards my husband, I think there’s nothing else to tell….ang korni din ng wala ng secreto 😛
Now if he still has secrets and wont (can’t) share them with me, I’m cool with that…he’s entitled to it.
pero as they say: ‘walang lihim na hindi nabubunyag! *sabay nakakalokang tawa*
HI BW!! sorry for not visiting lately, too much problem with my domain transfer…and still going on, ugh!
You know the old saying, if you keep looking under every rock you might not like what you find. So better let the past be, you cant change it anyway. Unless of course, your partner used to be an ax murderer, hehe. 😀
Wil – syanga naman. Why insist on revealing secrets and agonize upon hearing it – makes no sense to me too 😦
I like that song too. I think it’s the best Daughtry song so far 🙂
Thess – corny nga naman pag walang secrets hehe 🙂
Now worries – hope your domain woes are over soon!
Sngl – if you keep looking you may find something very interesting!
Well, there’s always the private investigators you can pay top bucks to do the job for you hehe 🙂
when my wife and I started dating, whoa… she wanted to know my life story about my ex-lovers! Some things are better left unsaid!
Firstly…bro when you split your entries…where did you get that cute…uuhhmmm splitter hahaha sorry I don’t know what you called that one hehe is that a monkey or what. I know you know what I mean hehe gusto ko man na hehe sunod-sunuran eh noh hehe
Secondly…hmm I agree with Wil. It’s not being secretive or something. I mean why do you need to discuss the past, there’s no point. Sometimes girlfriends kept on asking about their boyfriend’s ex-girlfriends…what she’s like and so on and so forth when all they really want to hear is “honey don’t worry…you are far more beautiful than my ex” hahaha so juvenile.
Yep..Chris Daughtry is good 🙂
i agree: why dig the past when you’re sure to hurt the present? some things need to be confessed; some are better left in history and never discussed again.
on am-idol: daughtry’s batch is the best. 🙂
Trench – hahaha 🙂 Sometimes women want to know if your ex is one of their friends 🙂
Verns – you really like the monkey on the bar ? I’ll give it you pero kiss muna hahaha 😛
Geez, I don’t know where I got the monkey splitter but I can certainly email it to you 🙂 I’ll find out and let you know by email.
Back to topic, it could be just curiosity but as they say , curiosity can kill a cat hehe 🙂
Barry – I guess some people are prepared to agonize just to gain knowledge about their partner’s love life while some are just playing along with “what you don’t know won’t hurt you” 🙂
I agree with you – Daughtry’s idol group were the best so far 🙂
cyber kiss on the cheeks sent already! haha
Anyway does it require some uploading coz you know I’m an idiot when it comes to stuff like that. Basi indi ko kabalo bla haw hehe you have you teach me hehe anyway cge will wait for your email hehe I’m actually excited hehe
Verns –
Sure, will give you all the works. It’s very easy hehe 🙂
Where did you get this joke. It’s too damn funny LMAO..
hahaha, that story made me laugh out loud hah. but kidding aside, i think i’ve been a victim of this total honesty policy. i mean, here am i spilling my guts to this guy and then later discover that he has all these secrets that i discover one by one from common friends and co-workers. maybe, i really need to watch myself, not to attract this kind of people. sigh…
ps: this is quite an eye opener, bw.
Charles – 🙂 Thanks for dropping by.
Nell – looks like you did your part in the policy of total honesty but he didn’t !
I personaly feel that it is important to know about the person to the point of protecting yourself – like he might be an ex-con or someone who had been in a mental institution hehe 🙂
Some secrets are definitely better left unsaid.
I am more interrogating than my spouse but I’m sure he has his secrets too.
Leah – a few interrogations aren’t bad at all- I think everybody does 🙂 Some things are better left unsaid if they will cause an all war! 😐
