Would you tell?

Original post by ss2002

During our monthly girls-night-out, my friends and I had a pretty heated discussion. We eventually agreed to disagree, but couldn't help our friend in question.

Here's the deal-a good friend of ours went through a pretty painful, difficult divorce years ago. Shortly after her divorce, she reunited with an old flame. I don't think they planned on restarting a relationship-it seemed like it was purely a physical 'rebound' sort of thing. As a result, she got pregnant.

After much soul searching, she decided to have an abortion. Never told the old flame, just did it and moved on.

Forward to today-she's happily married and she and DH are very actively trying to conceive. She's fine with discussing abortion with her OB/GYN...it's telling her DH of her past that is troubling her.

Would you tell?

I, personally, am very open and honest with my DH. I think I'd tell him. All of this happened in the distant past-before she met her DH. I'd just feel better without any secrets. Some of our friends say no, don't tell. They see no need in bringing up the past and say that omission in not hiding something.

Just curious what everyone else thinks...

Re: Would you tell?

If I was asked, I would be truthful about it...otherwise, I wouldn't tell. I don't think it is wrong to keep private matters from your past to yourself.

See - this is why it is so great to have Jessica's and Tammy's professional advice available to us on LIW!



Thanks Claud, but I should clear things up - I AM NOT A PROFESSIONAL (yet)!! I just play one on TV
