“There’s a right time and place for everything,” you say. Do you have something you’ve been dying to tell your partner? It was probably the first time you were so hesitant to tell them about something since confessing you love them. But while you got a positive response the last time, you can’t be sure how things will end this time, so you choose not to let them in on your little secret. After all, it isn’t something that will wreck our lives; it’s just an itch to tell them something you’ve been meaning to share for a long time.
