TMI

We walked, we talked, we shared a little more about ourselves. I did pry a bit but I feel like I had to. He said it best "what's your business is yours, what's mine is mine". He's right. Still, he gave me the answers I was looking for. He mistook it for jealousy, I corrected him quickly. Where my friends are involved, I have to be careful. I would like to know the truth so I know what I'm getting into here.

But, here's my question... how little do you tell, how much do you tell? How do you know when to stop and how do you know when to keep going? When does it become hiding and when does it become holding back? Should you have to keep holding back from the dude or chick you're into out of respect? I guess the obvious answer there is "yes". Still - I can't help but think that if you're really going to love and know someone in all their intricacies, all their twists and turns, for all of them... shouldn't you know why they are who they are? Why they are who they are because of what they have and haven't done?

I guess it's probably just easier to take it one day at a time. For some of us with a past that's not all that pretty, it's hard to tell when you've hit the TMI mark.
