Do Confessions Make A Relationships Stronger Or Kills It?

A lot of people say that they tell their spouse everything...really?
Some others say they filter what they tell theirs because when the chips are down,the confessions they made is used against them.

Now the extent of what one confesses varies.....yes varies.

A man has an affair and confesses to his spouse and she thinks he must really be remorseful and love her enough to confess (well,that is if he confesses oh)

A woman has an affair and confesses to her man and she is history...most men cannot take confessions maturely.
This is just one example,i have used,there are several other confessions which can break a marriage or relationship.


Let me try making up a few
-Honey i thought about rat poison last time you pissed me off,please don't do it again.

-I kissed your friend but regretted it.

-I hate your mother,she poke noses too much in this relationship/marriage.

-Honey,i dated your friend before i met you,i couldn't tell you because i didn't want to lose you.

-I had lunch/dinner with your friend when you were out of town.

-I slept with your friend when we broke up.

-I didn't lose the baby,i was never pregnant.

-The doctors told me before we married that i cant have any kids,i am sorry i didn't tell you.

Do confessions make relationships stronger or breaks them up.do you filter stuff you tell your spouse or anything goes and they laugh and say ''its okay darling,i love you still....''

Did you confess anything that backfired?you wanna share?
