When you link up with another researcher, it's more than likely you are only distantly related, in which case they will probably not want details of all your families. If they are from the family of one of your 4 grandparents' for instance, they will only want details of that family, not the other 3 families who are not connected to them in any way. Your family tree is unique to you, and no-one else will have exactly the same relatives except your brothers and sisters.
