If you tell the bad things before they meet, its not a good thing. Makes both parties suspicious and already prejudging each other and makes it difficult on the first introduction of each other. yeah i agree, once you get married, all other friends or atleast sngle friends disappear.
I only tell my friends and family what I want them to know, If I have a problem in the relationship, and I need to tell someone I will tell one of my closets closets male friend that I know will be unbias.
It is a common thing though, isn't it? People talk about their problems, especially about their relationships, and everyone has different standards on privacy.
I haven't told my best friends about my boyfriend yet. Its because my friends are all single and they think that girls with boyfriends have no mind and they think that its bad to have a boyfriend.. they think that no virgin girl can have a boyfriend but damn I am virgin and I do have a boyfriend ! I wanna tell my friends how much I love this guy but my friends will stop talkin to me.. I don't care bout that anyway but I feel so heavy cuz I want someone to talk to but all my friends are just so.... ah anyway..
BUT there is a fine line between talking about your relationship and also destroying the respect between your friends and the person you love. You know what I mean?
This is the best way, but sometimes when couples are having communication breakdown they need their friends to help think rationally. I guess the important thing is to ask a friend with wise judgement & understands you best.
I was just thinking ahead. Things are good now, but I wanna be prepared for problems when they come (they always do). I don't want to lose another good person in my life.
1. It can break trust.
2. Often a person tells the bad stories and the friends/family think bad of this person you love, when things are good again.
