so that she doesn't hit me there when we fight
-
Very important since they could be making medical decisions for you if you are unable.
-
Yes it is a good idea. this helps in the case of emergency when you cannot talk for yourself. Especially in the case of allergies.
-
If it could affect the relationship, I'd say yes.
-
Since I have a "file of life" card...yes it is important my partner know my medical history.
-
Only if it could somehow impact the relationship. If it could, I think it only fair to let them in on it.
-
Yes. I have nothing to hide from him and he may be able to save my life knowing my list of medications and any procedures or illnesses I may have had. It's important to ME, at least. Someone else may not wish to discuss such things.
-
Probably. Wouldn't want him to go through some psychologically traumatizing quest to face the horrors of his subconscious in order to rectify the source of his soul eating misery, should I die due to illness. What? *Waves around a lead pipe.*

only if ur married not when ur dating+4.
-
If you are married then yes cause sooner or later your partner will find out one way or the other.
-
Yes.You should be true about yourself and your medical history.If you have something communicable,then it's good for her to know in advance.The entire medical stuffs should be clear to your partner.
-
Well, it depends - maybe thee are some things that your partner doesn't need to know or that you don't want them to know. Do they need to know the details of when you had chicken pox, or the time you went into hospital to have an abscess on your butt removed? Do you want them to know if you had an abortion? Personally, I wouldn't hide things, but I don't know if I would sit down and have a conversation like "right, time to talk about our medical histories!" However, if you have a congenital disease, genetic disorder or an STD it is probably something you want to talk about. Hiding something like that from a partner would be an abuse of trust and would end up having a damaging effect on the relationship.
-
honestly. yes. if they truly love you they will try and help you through it all.
-
Of course, preparations must be made or it's safe to be aware of it. Unless you like mysterious baggage from your partner...chance you might receive an STD.
