Anyone else have those friends who are just too involved for a couple too soon? Good, I’m not alone. Maybe you should share this blog with them and give them a gentle hint that they’ve gone overboard and may be heading for disaster. Here are just five (I am sure there are more) things you should not share with your boyfriend or girlfriend. 1. Money This is a tricky one, especially if you've got joint expenses like a pet, bills or even an apartment. So before you talk about any plans to share expenses, consider first that money is one of the leading causes of divorce today. 2. Passwords If you're young and in love then you're probably thinking that your significant other volunteering their password is the best way to gain trust. No - not unless they've violated before. 3. Facebook Account No, not Facebook passwords, but Facebook accounts. You probably wouldn't believe it if I told you but there are actually some couples out there who have joint Facebook or other social networking accounts. Gag, right? It's more harmful than one would think. What you're telling the world is that you're one person. Social networks are meant to substantiate identity. 4. A Best Friend Having mutual friends is ordinary, but if you both set your stakes in the same best friend, issues can arise. Trio outings can be fun and dandy, but during arguments things can get competitive. Going to the same person for comfort or a venting session could leave the third party in an awkward situation. 5. Conversations about Your Ex Hey, let the past be the past. Easier said than done, of course, but unrelenting conversations about your ex, whether positive or negative, can drive a wedge between you and yours. At the end of the day, it all comes down to a bit of common sense really, take some time to get to know the person before you rush into anything, and never ever do the ‘shared’ Facebook thing, it’s just wrong.
