5 important Secrets to avoid in a Relationship

4. You have an addiction

If you are struggling with an addiction to drugs, alcohol, S3x, or something else along those lines, let your partner know. You may be pleasantly surprised and find that he or she will stand by you and support you through your recovery. You’ll never know unless you open up and explain what you’re experiencing.

“The chances are that you’re not the only one in your relationship who’s got a secret or two (or more). You may be surprised to find out not only what your partner is keeping under wraps, but that your most feared outcomes of letting your own cat out of the bag never materialize,” said psychologist Susan Krauss Whitbourne.
