Ok,
I'm wondering for those that are engaged, married in any relationships for that matter with a significant other. How did you feel about divulging your financial situation to your mate? I know everyone doesn't have perfect credit but, for those that do have excellent credit that is wonderful.
How do you tell your fiance that your credit isn't perfect? Imagine he has perfect credit and your's is just not so good. You have estalished credit and have done alot to fix yours. You have credit in your name but, in reality it is more your debt to income ratio that tanks your score and two collections.![Wallbash :wallbash: :wallbash:](/smilies/wallbash.gif)
Your stomach turns at the mere thought of the subject of money. You work full time, make decent money, but you still have a short fall. You have cleared quite a bit of the debt away but, it still feels like a ton when you think about the moment he says lets pull your credit report. Why does it seem so bad? How do you put it on the table and where does it go from there?
If, you've experienced this how did things turn out? Was it as bad as it felt like it was going to be or did things seem easier afterwards? It feels like the most difficult thing you have ever had to do but, this is something that you can't hide from your potential mate.
What is a good way to bring up the subject? How well do you think this will go and if the shoe was on the other foot and you were madly in love with him or her what would you do?
