The combination of financial issues and a secrecy that feels undeserved can be a potent mixture for adding fuel to the fire of relationship issues. It is not uncommon for it to be a major factor in breakups. In this story, one woman felt betrayed by her fiancé after she found out that he had taken a $15,000 personal loan while they were in the middle of planning their wedding.
The woman only found out about this when she saw a missed call from a bank she didn't recognize on their phone plan. Her partner admitted he had taken the loan to pay off old credit card debt, but was already struggling with repayments.
She was shaken by this revelation, not least because the pair had supposedly been committed to saving together for their future wedding and a house down payment. With her fiancé apologizing profusely, she wondered if it was an overreaction to demand that they postpone their nuptials.

In relationships, the big topics have to be approached with honesty.
While the occasional white lie about the little things isn't as likely to cause a major issue, it is absolutely imperative that couples are transparent when it comes to anything life-changing, like having kids, staying loyal, and how their finances are looking. When it comes down to it, a relationship is about partnership, and with that comes the obligation to share opinions and problems so two people can work together as a team to make both of their lives better.
Nevertheless, it is very common for people to keep secrets from their significant others about things that they should be open about if they value their relationship. With money in particular, any struggles or mistakes that are kept under wraps have the potential to cause big issues for both people in a couple if they are not handled with the care that is needed.
