I’m curious about this really.
An issue came up in my relationship and it has meant that we have had to do some tasks where we have gone into our past. My previous relationship was with someone I knew from school. But when dating later in life (past late 20s) - what does a background check look like?
A few years ago, a friend of mine told me that she revealed a lot of her past to her partner before they got engaged, she was very promiscuous, and she was worried he would hear about it from others, and said she felt that she needed to be honest about that.
Personally I don’t have (m)any skeletons in my closet and I’m very open. I was very forward about my past to my partner, but he wasn’t as honest - so I wondered how much of the past people generally know about their partner and what that conversation looked like.
