A female United States age 30-35, *aisy.AL writes:

My boyfriend of two and half years and I took a small break, not because we didn't love eachother but because of the long distance between us. AFter we broke up, I had a rebound relationship that lasted about 4 weeks. I broke it off rather quicly because my feelings for my ex were too strong and it felt unfair to that other person. Now, 2 months after breaking up, my Ex and I have decided to try again. My question is, Do I tell him about the rebound relationship?

To some,withholding that would be just as bad as lying. If he cannot accept it,then its better to know where your relationship is leading now,rather than later. Things like this have the strangest ways of surfacing and they usually do.

I tend to think it's better to tell him so you don't have to worry about it coming out in the future, and have him feel like you were not completely open with him. If he can't handle it now, odds are he wouldn't be able to later either.

Yes tell him. He may find out from another source otherwise. He may not accept it so better now than further down the line.

aunt honesty agony auntI think you should. It is always best to be open and honest when you are giving a relationship a second go. At the end of the day you never done anything wrong you where both split up and for all you know he may have been with others as well. Just explain to him that it was a rebound relationship and why you broke it off and just remember there is nothing wrong with what you done. You where only trying to move on as best you could.
