Hi Jakem
Having read the other posts I would say hold your horses.....you shouldn't have to explain yourself to anyone....not to that extent....not even your partner.......If you have desires and thoughts that you wish to keep private I think it's entirely up to you.....
I respect everybody's opinion regarding honesty being the best policy...... but would temper that view by pointing out that they test children's ability to lie as a way of assessing their intellectual development.....:biggrin:
"honesty" can be very hurtful in a vast number of situations and is clearly not a "fix all"
I have been in a happy relationship with someone I absolutely adore for 20 years.....I am certainly not very honest....but I have been very happy for 20 years...so hey ho....
good luck with whatever you decide.....oh.. and under 25 is too young to be getting married in my book...... chill your boots
