Guilt

After thinking about a person's past and revealing that to a new relationship I started to think about my past and if I would feel guilty about it, and I don't think I would. I am not ashamed of anything I have done and I would hope that my future wife would be understanding and we could both forgive each others' past. I came across this article (http://www.iamnext.com/sexandlove/guilt.html) and it talks all about guilt in relationships. How just saying "If you love me you would do this or that," and it talks about what making a person feel guilty does to your relationship. My favorite part of the article is when it says "loving someone requires forgiving the past and letting go," this is absolutely true in my book and even though it may be hard I feel like it is something that has to be done to maintain a healthy relationship. The article goes on to say that in a relationship the two individuals should be free to be who they are, and if one person keeps bringing up the past to guilt someone, they are not able to be free.
