Answer 2

1. Politics- mostly because I am extremely liberal and people find it hard to take at times as well as the fact that I am very firm in my beliefs.

2. Religion- Simply because no matter who it is there are going to be some differences and they can be hard to take so it's best to just ignore the subject at times.

3. The past- We all have skeletons in our closets and I think sometimes especially at first in a relationship people would rather not bring those skeletons out.

To me sex is just common to talk about as well as money. Those are just parts of a relatiosnhip and children can be hard at times I suppose.

Answer 3

1.Children for me - when my husband called my teenage daughter "crazy" I was SO offended. Now I realize,
he is just a quick study.
After sitting here with my head in my hand for 2 minutes, I realize that is the only uncomfortable topic between my hubby and I. He'd have "sex" on the tip of his tongue, but be too conservative to actually say it. Me, I can talk about it all night long.

Answer 4

Relationships can be an interesting topic. Almost anything can be depending on the way you discuss it and who you decide to discuss it with. On facebook, I see mostly vapid idle converstion and very little interesting conversation from either sex, honestly. It could be our age difference, disparity in lifestyle, or whatever, but I think you're being biased.

Answer 5

Money is a huge topic, and deals with both parties. Children could be if one wants to have them and one doesn't it makes it a big deal, however if you have been with the person for awhile and you want children, then it's not a hard topic.
Sex - Certain ways/positions are hard to talk about.
Religion - whether one believes or not and why.

Answer 6

Previous partners. I'm not sure why. I just don't like talking about it. Makes me really uncomfortable.

Personal views that the other doesn't agree with. It gets me going on a rampage even knowing that neither of our minds will change.

I can't think of anything else.

Sex, money and children are extremely easy to talk about for me and my bf.

Answer 7

You're right on target, but after 15 years of marriage, the line up has changed a little:

1. Money
2. Child(ren)
3. Sex

Answer 8

Hard to believe no one said sharing fantasies
1. honest feelings
2. past mistakes( before the relationship)
3. Future plans
Money should come between no one, its a finite entity.

Answer 9

Sex
Love
Children
Marriage
are the most hardest things to talk about in a relationship.

Answer 10

1. which side of the bed to sleep on, I don't wanna sleep near the window (what if someone broke in, i'd get shot first) plus the bathroom is closer on this side.
2. who is cooking dinner, i'm an awful cook
3. Who is paying the power bill and the water bill. I can't remember s***.

Answer 11

where we are in the relationship (i don't know why i always think the guy is going to freak or something... like i say hey ... whats going on... they explain.. but up until i ask...i think they are going to be like AHHH STUPID GIRL WE ARE NOTHING NOW BC YOU ASKED!!!!) so yeah i feel like an idiot....

too young for kids... (19 almost 20...)

i do feel awkward about money b/c i don't expect the guy to pay (but they do anyways.... ) so i get them back in a way... like i will bring lunch over or something! (makes me feel better)

TALKING about sex is weired especially if you find the way the guy asked to be funny...forget funny... it was hilarious!
apparently sex is no laughing matter and you can bring a guy down really fast if he says "wanna do it?" and you laugh... he he...it still makes me giggle....
