I can't speak for everyone but I'm pretty sure it would be a very high percentage of those of us with spouses or even significant others would tell you they have disclosed their intentions with that person. I can't think of too many times I've read about that "discussion" going badly if handled carefully and at pace that the significant other can handle but I'm sure it has happened. That's not to say that the NBE hopeful person always gets his wishes though. I STRONGLY advise you to pursue full disclosure with your spouse (if you have one) BEFORE pursuing NBE. Unless you're incredibly lucky, I can't imagine your spouse finding out what you're doing and being cool with the idea or the fact that you withheld something like that from her.

Not wanting to be hypocritical, my wife knew 60% when I STARTED NBE and, by the prompting of others here, I had fully disclosed within 6 weeks of starting. Thankfully she is on board but I don't recommend doing what I did. It didn't feel right.
