Hi guys, wonder if anyone else suffers from this. Basically I always feel compelled to "Confess" to my partner everything bad I've ever done. It doesn't matter if it was before we met I still feel like I'm lying even if I don't tell her everything bad I've ever done no matter how minor or insignificant.

Just recently I've been looking into theology vs atheism etc as a matter of interest, and thats what has brought it all on. I panic that if she doesn't know everything bad I've ever done I'm technically lying to her and if god does exist I'll go to hell.

Look forward to hearing if anyone else has experienced anything similar.

I have always had a compulsion to tell the truth and confess all, I think it is a common anxiety trait. I have been told however, that, I must save some of myself for me and everybody has secrets not matter how bad we may think they are.
Not many people are truly an open book.
This is another way of anxiety playing tricks on the mind.
Us humans have always make mistakes, the important thing is that we learn from them.
There are few angels here on earth.
