Talking Too Much About Your Ex?

Women often complain that their dates or boyfriends talk too much about their former girlfriends, but many women are equally guilty of the same indiscretion. A considerable number of women seem to think that being honest means being open about everything. But honesty and openness are two different things.

You can be honest without being open, and it's better not to be "open" about your former lovers. Whether you're a man or a woman, sharing with your current partner all kinds of details about your past relationships is the opposite of romantic, and it's also unloving. It serves no positive purpose. And most important, it's disrespectful to the other person.
