If you’re talking to a potential partner, at what point do you reveal your past relationship history?

It it is haram to reveal your sins but don’t lie about it. If they say that they will only marry you if you never have a haram relationship, then don’t continue with them but don’t inform them the reason.

Also, only talk to them with a wali or at least a third person present. A potential is still a non-mahram.

May Allah grant you a righteous spouse who brings you peace.

It’s also haram to reveal even if youre not bragging…

I found it easiest where both of your write down a list of dealbreakers / personal requirements and then exchange them. Then, if something you did is on that list just say “sorry it seems like I don’t meet all the criteria” and you don’t have to specify what it is

So… 3.5 year relationship came crashing in Jan due to covid depression, work burn out, lockdown etc. We have stayed in contact and recently he has come around to apologizing and considering getting back together. However he also revealed he started seeing someone casually 4 weeks ago and technically is cheating on her by meeting me for coffee and to discuss this. I’m upset that he’s dating others but shouldn’t be right? I mean, I did the same. Still hurts though. And I told him to sort that out

6 years ago her husband/my step dad was killed suddenly and tragically. He had a man cave room that she has not touched since. It is beyond filthy, unsanitary and poor living conditions.

If I make attempts to clean, she has a meltdown. How to fix?

Even my girl friend of 4 months knows that this isn't sustainable long term!
