In this section, the hosts of the Real Love, No BS podcast discuss a recent episode of another podcast where the topic of revealing your past in a relationship was discussed. They also discussed their upcoming one-year anniversary and the introduction of guest episodes. They then went on to discuss a situation where a partner requests that their significant other cuts off communication with a certain person. While one host can see both sides of the coin and understands when it comes to semi-strangers or associates, they agree that when it comes to friends or family members, they would trust their own judgment over their partner's.

00:10:00

In this section, the hosts discuss how much of their past should be revealed when dating. They mention that their partner's opinions matter, but there has to be discussions about why it matters. They also emphasize that not all relationships are permanent, and a complete cutoff request from a partner is not warranted in most situations. The hosts agree that a clear explanation is necessary to understand why someone should not be interacting with a particular person, and a jealous demand without any reason is unacceptable. Additionally, the hosts note that in a relationship, their partner's opinions would always come first.

00:15:00

In this section, the speaker discusses the challenges that can arise when it comes to maintaining friendships with the opposite sex while in a relationship. While it is common for partners to not always like each other's friends, it is important to provide legitimate reasons for cutting off any relationships, especially opposite-sex friendships. Additionally, solutions should be provided to make the partner more comfortable with the relationship, such as group hangouts or meeting the friend in question. However, the speaker also notes that a partner's distrust of opposite-sex friendships may not actually be rooted in a lack of trust in their partner, but rather in their own insecurities, and that shutting down such relationships entirely may not necessarily prevent cheating if that is what the partner is inclined to do.

00:20:00

In this section, the speakers discuss the issue of revealing past friendships and relationships when dating, with some focusing on the importance of trust in a relationship. They argue that partners should be honest with one another, and that there should be some boundary around your friends and your partner. They also touched on the different dynamics in friendships with men and women, highlighting the value of both and the need for it in one's life. Finally, they stressed the need for honesty in relationships in order to avoid potential problems resulting from fake reactions or behavior, which can create problems down the line.

00:25:00

In this section, the hosts of the Real Love Show discuss a scenario where a woman's boyfriend continues to bring up her past relationships. The hosts suggest that sharing information about the past should only be done if it is pertinent to the current relationship or what is being discussed. As the relationship grows and interactions occur, relevant information will naturally be revealed without the need to disclose everything upfront. The hosts also note that if the past is affecting the current relationship, then it should be discussed openly to find a resolution.

00:30:00

In this section, the speakers discuss the appropriate level of sharing when it comes to past relationships. They agree that it's important to share what is pertinent and relevant when it naturally comes up in conversations, but not to over share or pry too much into the details of past relationships. The focus should be on how someone has developed as a person and the things they have learned from their previous relationships. It's not necessary to know all of the specifics of someone's past relationships, and over sharing can introduce unnecessary insecurities and problems into a new relationship.

00:35:00

In this section, the speakers discuss the idea of oversharing in relationships and how it can sometimes be a symptom of insecurity and negative self-worth. They agree that information sharing should serve a purpose and that people often do not need or want to know all the details of a person's past. The past should be taken into consideration when evaluating a person, but it should not necessarily be held against them. The speakers note that historical data can be useful in determining what a person is capable of, but it should not define them entirely. Overall, they suggest focusing on how a person's past has shaped them as a way to better understand them in a relationship.

00:40:00

In this section, the speakers discuss how much of someone's past should be revealed when dating. They agree that people can mature and change over time, and it's not fair to hold them to the person they once were. However, there are certain circumstances, such as sexual assault, that could be difficult to move past for some individuals. The speakers also touch on the topic of attraction and whether past experiences with a different gender could impact someone's current relationship. While they agree that transparency is important, they also recognize that people may feel uncomfortable sharing certain aspects of their past.

00:45:00

In this section, the speaker emphasizes the importance of considering the likelihood of information being discovered by the other person before deciding how much of your past to reveal when dating. People often Google others, so if the information can be easily found, it's better to disclose it upfront rather than risk the other person discovering it later and feeling lied to or embarrassed. The speaker also shares a personal experience with sexual assault and how revealing this information to a partner through natural conversation helped them understand her better. Ultimately, the decision of how much to reveal should be based on the potential impact on the relationship and the importance of the information to understanding who the person is.

00:50:00

In this section, the hosts discuss the topic of revealing past relationships when dating. They share personal experiences, with one host mentioning a girl he went bowling with who later asked his girlfriend if he told her about "us." He clarified that there was no "us," and that he didn't see her as relevant to his life or worth discussing. The other host comments on the small-town effect of continuing to have proximity to former partners, which she finds odd as she personally does not maintain contact with past flames. They both express that they prefer to move on from past relationships and not dwell on them, and that they only keep in touch with a select few former partners.

child and so it's important to focus on who a person is now and who they're striving to be in the future rather than constantly dwelling on their past mistakes or experiences. Dwelling on the past can prevent both individuals in the relationship from moving forward and growing together. It's important to acknowledge the past but not let it dictate the present or future of the relationship.

01:00:00

In this section of the video, the speakers emphasize the importance of having a future-focused outlook when dating, rather than dwelling in the past. They talk about how constantly discussing past relationships can harm a current relationship and that only pertinent information about previous traumas should be shared. They also stress the need for confidence in oneself and believing that whoever is with them is lucky to be with them, as this can minimize insecurities in a relationship. Overall, the speakers advise against living in the past and instead urge viewers to focus on the present and the future.

01:05:00

In this section, the hosts discuss how much of their past should be revealed when dating. They agree that while it's important to talk about your past with your partner, there is a limit to what can be discussed. Constantly bringing up a partner's past can be seen as abuse by some and can quickly damage any relationship. It's also important to remember that the past cannot be changed, so there is no reason to dwell on old relationships that should be left in the past. Ultimately, it's up to the individual to determine how much they want to disclose about their past.

01:10:00

In this section, the hosts discuss the importance of accepting one's partner for who they are, particularly when it comes to small, unchangeable details of their personality or behavior. While it may be helpful to discuss and adjust certain behaviors if they are truly problematic, it's important to put your foot down and not always be arguing about the same things. If you've made it clear who you are and your partner can't accept it, then it may be time to move on. They encourage listeners to write in with their own scenarios, and remind everyone to follow them on social media, like, comment, subscribe, share, share, share.
