Part of what makes it a significant other is that embarrassment is no longer a concern. Once you know you're in it for the long haul, it's about supporting one another. I've done things I don't even feel comfortable saying with the anonymity of the internet and admitted freely to them, because we're partners. My problems are their problems and their problems are mine.
