While it's nice that others say you should live your life sans secrets, we all have them. That's why you whisper in the confessional (well, for those of us brought up that way). You SHOULD have secrets (it's part of being alive). You know, by now, there are no secrets when two people know ... but alas, let's call them "closely guarded secrets". You have them. I have them. We all have them. Now, what you choose to tell others ... well ... that's a different story. There are two approaches fundamentally (prolly' more) ... The first approach is to tell all (that's what I do) but ... and this is the but ... KEEP YOUR IDENTITY secret! The other approach is to tell nothing (or very little) ... and then you can let your ID be known (that's what I do at work). Up to you ... but you learn ... and live ... and over time, you learn to change your email address, to change your IP address, hell, you can even change your MAC address, all in an attempt to maintain anonymity (never can spell that sucker) ... That way, you can tell the truth ... but they don't know who you REALLY are ... :) PS: Does not work for long term relationships ... but ... for those ... by then ... you TRUST them (even if you did meet them on fetlife) ... For those you trust, let the truth be known (but that takes more than just a few weeks).
