Is It Ok to Talk About Prior Relationships While Dating?
Dating after 50 in later life can have its ‘opportunities.’ Do you think it’s ok to talk about your prior relationships while dating? Apparently, there are many different answers to this question depending on who you ask! What if your date asks you too many questions? Or what if they don’t ask any questions about you at all? Hear how the TV show The View inspired me for this episode. I will be sharing my thoughts in a way that satisfies a couple of my fantasies, so I hope you’ll take a little time to enjoy my view! Come join me!!
Not be missed take-ways:
1. Without knowing about someone’s history, including prior relationships, it’s harder to get to know who a person really is.
2. If you feel comfortable sharing something even on a first date, go for it…and pay attention to how it’s received.
3. If they feel what you share is TMI, then perhaps they’re not the person for you.
4. If your date doesn’t want to hear about your previous relationships, I say that’s a big red flag; run don’t walk.
5. Conversely, if they ask what feels like a lot of inappropriate questions on a first date, that can also be a red flag.
6. Annnd, if they ask NO questions about you at all and basically only talk about themselves, also not so good.
7. Just follow your gut and be you.
And your mission, that I hope you’ll choose to accept…
1) Let me know your thoughts. Would it upset you if your partner called his ex the love of their life?
2) Do you think it’s ok for someone to forbid you to talk about prior relationships? Weigh in here, I want to hear what you think!
