If everything was 100% known, I would think it could make things a bit mundane at times. As I mentioned many people will try and present themselves in the best possible light and that goes for trying to attract a significant other as well Who wants to be with someone with issues right up front? No one would take the time to look beyond that. I am not saying it's right or wrong, I am saying people do what they do at the time in what they believe is right at the time. That does not necessarily make it right.
So if I understand what you are saying is that if there is something about you that you fear will cause someone to reject your proposal of marriage, you should keep it hidden? I seriously can't agree. That is no foundation for what is probably the most serious commitment anyone can make towards anyone else. It's simply fraud.
No, that is not what I meant. I meant we don't start out showing our faults up front, those are revealed over time. Given enough time I would hope that those would be shared and known prior to tying the knot, otherwise there are bound to be issues due to whatever was not expressed or revealed.
As for my original intentions to share my story, I still have not worked up the nerve to continue what I wanted to. Not sure if I will.
