to keep something from someone you love?
I would feel really hurt if they were in my situation and did not tell me because I would feel as if I was not there for them...
So yes, I'm aware of that but sometimes you keep things from people you love because you want to protect them from it.

Is that a noble excuse?

cause I have this philosophy that **** happens and you just try as best as you can to move on and take it as other experience that will make you stronger!

You shouldn't keep secrets. They will come back to bite you in the ass.

yeah, you SHOULDNT keep secrets...but this world isnt so idealistic.
this is a case by case basis kinda thing. if you feel you should keep the secret, keep the secret. sometimes knowledge isnt something that should always be spread. ignorance is bliss.

I think it would depend on the situation...
Hope things are okay for you.

Personally, I get really upset when people close to me don't tell me things. I don't want protection, I want things to be out in the open.

So I suppose it also depends on the person you're keeping something from, as well as the situation.

Its not a good idea, you should try to be upfront as possible, because some way or another they might find out eventually on their own or by accident. And then when that happens you have some pretty nifty explaining to do as to why you didn't tell them in the first place.

It's not wrong but there isn't really a noble excuse either, I don't think.

I would hate it if my partner kept a secret too. Not so much my family or any friends.

Although, if the person just wasn't ready, I would be fine with "I will try to tell you but not now. I need more time." Then it would be fine, not great but I'd deal for them.

And pain is a great teacher, sometimes we have hard lessons to learn and the only way we can learn them is through being vulnerable. Hell, most of the time it's when we're very vulnerable. So keeping it from someone you love may not be allowing them to grow from the experience they have with you.

In the end, it's your choice.

I love you, Kero.
