Dear Christine,
Many years ago while I lived away from home, I had an affair with a woman I loved dearly.
I am not trying to make an excuse for myself, but she was very overwhelming and I guess that because I admired her, I went along with what happened and found it to be very pleasant while it lasted.
I am now about to be married and my husband-to-be seems very open with what he did in the past. Do you think I should tell him my secret?

Dear W.B.,
I honestly believe you should be open and upfront with your husband-to-be, especially since he is upfront with you. You never know when situations will present themselves and the “ghosts” of the past return to haunt you.
I am of the view that if he finds out about this “affair” on his own, he’ll be disappointed and will possibly lose his trust in you.
Be honest. Go into your marriage in the full knowledge that there are no “skeletons” lurking around in your closet.
– CHRISTINE
