How to Talk About Past Relationships

Everyone has a past, but bringing it up during the matchmaking phase requires extreme tact.

Never discuss your exes on the first few chats or dates. It signals that you have not moved on. When the relationship becomes exclusive, it is appropriate to give a high-level overview of past serious relationships so your partner understands your journey.

Avoid pointing fingers or sharing deeply intimate secrets about an ex. Keep it clinical and focus entirely on what those past experiences taught you about what you truly need in a marriage.
