I over whether a man should have told his current fiancee that his late ex partner was a man. Reddit user r/poetrysonnets, a 29-year-old man, thread to share his dilemma, and three relationship experts told what they would advise. "I pretty much told her 'my last partner passed away and I don't talk about it,'" the man said.
"I don't use social media in really any capacity anymore but she happened to stumble upon an old profile of mine recently and saw him heavily featured. This led to her accusing me of purposefully keeping this from her. "I don't really see why his gender matters and I told her so.
She said I've broken her trust," , and the post garnered more than 12,000 upvotes. The man wrote about the tragic loss of his former boyfriend, who died in a car accident four years ago when they were both 25. The couple had been together since they were 19, and he felt like his former fiance was his soul mate.
"He was stubborn, he preferred a way earlier bedtime than I did, and was a major homebody, and I loved all of it," the poster wrote. "He would stay up with me until he was sure I fell asleep and weekly movie theater outings (planned by him) became a thing like a month into us meeting. I am a fundamentally different person both because I met him and because of my grief," he added.
The poster said he doesn't talk about his fiance and only occasionally mentions him to close friends who knew him. He continues to honor his fiance by emulating his patience, pursuing career oppor.
