Published on October 2, 2019, a reader sought advice on whether to reveal a past abortion to her fiancé.
A 16-year-old girl had an abortion due to naivety and lack of preparation. Twelve years later, she's in a serious relationship that may lead to marriage. Her fiancé has asked if she's ever had an abortion, and she initially denied it jokingly.
However, when asked again, she was hesitant to discuss the topic. The question remains: should she reveal the truth and risk losing the relationship or keep quiet and let her fiancé discover it himself?
Despite having the abortion 12 years ago, she never visited a hospital for a check-up. A month after the abortion, she started menstruating again, and she hasn't experienced any complications since then.
She's concerned that something might be wrong with her body, given the recent discussion about her past. A relationship expert advises her to tell the truth, as it's essential to disclose sensitive information before marriage.
Before revealing the truth, the expert suggests that she visit a hospital to confirm that her reproductive organs are intact and that she's healthy enough to conceive and give birth.
Ultimately, the expert believes that honesty is the best policy, and she should take responsibility for her past choices.
