Dear Queenie,
My fiancé and I had a quarrel over the wedding plans and broke up our engagement a few months ago and after that I met a man I really liked and we were together for a while, but that didn’t last very long.
Now my ex-fiancé and I have worked out our differences and we are getting back together.
Queenie, do I have to tell him about that other man?—Confused fiancée
Dear Fiancée,
That depends on how far your relationship with that other man went.
If you just went out with him and your “togetherness” was mostly in public, there is a good chance your no-longer-ex fiancé has already heard about him from other sources, but it would not hurt to mention him briefly just so your fiancé knows you are not hiding anything from him.
However, if you and that other man were closely intimate or even lived together for a while, yes, you have to tell your fiancé about it so he knows you are not hiding anything from him. Tell him how sorry you are that it happened and assure him that nothing like that will happened now that the two of you are back together – and hope he believes you.
