Does My Fiancé Have to Know About All My Exs Before We Get Married?

About to walk down the aisle and wrap your arms around that your soul mate fore the rest of your life? Well by this point, you probably think you know every single thing about each other. Things like their favorite dinner dish, the color they like to wear that brings out their eyes, how they secretly roll their eyes at their boss when he’s not looking. You may know every pet peeve they have, hobby they hope to tackle and take on in the near future, and childhood secret that they kept close to them and haven’t told anybody else in the world.

But one piece of advice you may not have shared with one another are the dirty details about past relationships. How many exes each of you had, how those love fests ended and of course, why they ended. You may even want to see a photo of that person or find out their last name so you can do a quick, and quite extensive, Google and social media search.

So are is this something you two need to share before entering a life together of happy matrimony? Well, if you’ve made it this far without knowing those details, you may want to steer clear of unleashing unnecessary pre-martial jealously. It’s okay to sit down and give each other a vague timeline of previous failed relationships, but names and photos don’t need to be shared.

It’s best to ask each other if both of you want to walk down this road of sharing together or if it’s better that the past is just the past.

Either way, you don’t need to disclose this info. in order to get an official OK to walk down the aisle and tie the knot. No matter what you decide, make sure you stress the fact that that ex is out of your life and you’ll never invite them back in – because what is done, is done.
