Coming Clean: Should You Tell Your Ex You Cheated When You Were Together?
By Crystal Andrus

In this video, dating coach, author and YourTango Expert Crystal Andrus answers the following viewer question: I’ve never been honest with my ex-husband about an affair I had during our marriage, and I’m worried that my ability to keep secrets is a sign that I can’t be truly intimate with another person.
