Let’s assume that your explicit agreement was “each of us can have other partners, no need to tell each other”
That’s not how an agreement of someone who practices tell culture looks like. It starts with the fact that in tell culture you usually don’t make agreement not to tell each other things because both participants value exchange of information.
Secondly oeople in guess culture might have an agreement that boils down to a single sentence but people who practice tell culture usually speak more about the expectations that they have.
And how exactly would the “information that the other person needs” be determined, without some cultural assumption?
I haven’t seen anybody who advocated that one should completely ignore cultural assumptions. Ask culture generally means, that you are allowed to ask for something like writing a blog post with detailed descriptions of the sex you had but it in no way implies that you can simply write the post because the other person hasn’t explicitly asked you not to write the post.
