The things I’d never tell my man
THEY say honesty is the best policy, but even that old adage can be broken in some instances.
One such instance is in an intimate relationship, because while it is good to tell your partner many things about yourself, not everything is worth revealing and may do you more harm than good.
Below women tell All Woman some of the things they would never tell their boyfriends or husbands.
MH:
I’d never tell my husband my sexual history. If he asked me I’d lie. There are also certain family things that I’d never disclose. You don’t know if the relationship will last and when you reveal every single thing, he’ll have stuff to throw back in your face. I also would not tell him how much I earn.
KB:
I wouldn’t tell him the number of men I’ve been with. I wouldn’t bring up my ex or the bad things he has done to me. I’ve had experiences where boyfriends used these things against me and thought it was OK for them to do the same things to me as I accepted it from other men.
RC:
I wouldn’t tell him about my obsessiveness. He’d have to figure that out on his own.
TY:
I wouldn’t tell him the reason I broke up with my previous ex. He has asked but there’s no way I can tell him that I was the unfaithful one. He would immediately start having trust issues. I have changed as I remained single for five years before dating again. That much he knows but he doesn’t know why he’s the first guy in five years for me.
LO:
That my best friend hates him. It would make everything awkward. Right now I just try my best to keep them apart. If I’m hanging with her, I ensure he’s not around and vice versa. The last thing I’d want is a blow-up between them both. I love my best friend and I also love my boyfriend, so I try to let peace reign.
RH:
How much I really love my ex. It will never die. I was truly in love with him. He died tragically and I’m just moving on with my life. My boyfriend knows what happened to my ex, but we never speak about him. However, I still love him a lot and I know it’s useless as he’s no longer here, but it’s a memory I’ll always hold dear to me.
DM:
That I stalk his ex on social media. Ever since their four-year relationship ended two years ago, I monitor her accounts through other friends of mine who have her in their friends’ list. I need to see who he was with for so long and how I can outshine her.
EF:
He has introduced me to his parents and most of his friends, but I’m really in it for the money and gains I can get to propel myself forward. That’s one thing I’ll never tell him, even if it lasts and I develop love for him.
KD:
That I despise his mother. I’ve never seen a more controlling, annoying and cunning person in my life. She doesn’t like the fact that her son has opted to be with me and has told me to my face that she only puts up with me because he seems happy. I always find an excuse not to visit but he adores his mother and I’ll never let him know how much I hate her.
JR:
I’d certainly never tell him his obvious faults – like how large his stomach is, or that he isn’t romantic enough or satisfying enough in bed. I’d never tell him that I prefer having sex in the dark because his body is unsightly. Those things would definitely bruise his ego and I’m not about to have him feeling insecure. He has to be strong to uphold this family.
