It may sound disturbing and scary, but most men keep secrets from their spouses. And from a psychological point of view, this is something normal. Especially because most men are afraid to tell their wives what they think since they’re afraid of a potential fight. But can these secrets affect the relationship? I guess it depends on which secrets we are talking about.

However, most clinical psychologists advise that in every relationship or marriage, it’s best to talk freely without the fear of being judged. This will only improve the quality of the relationship and make the connection even stronger. Click on the next page to see the rest of the article.

    Why do you not include the sane question to women? Why ? Because women have Been a 3rd no 4th rate in relationships behind on line games, I’ll do it later and Why are you bitching at me to do that???,, get your damn story straight.

    This site should of said you have to pay in the end to get your results. They made it sound like it was free. I feel, I wasted so much of my time already answering so many personal questions. I feel violated and wish I could take all my information back. In this economy my husband and I are lucky enough to pay our WiFi to go on the computer. I’m disappointed. Live and Learn!

    #8 It’s not a good idea to mention that “she will stand by him no matter what”. The subject has to be in a conversation before that is mentioned or the man will wonder why she said that! His confidence could be shattered.

    We live solely on Social Security, which makes paying our bills is a struggle. He does not use the computer and I fear that the time will come when he will have to take over out finances. I worry about this, but haven’t told him about it. We also have an adult child living with us in a small home, which adds stress for me.

    Why bother? The biggest secret in posts like this can be summed up in three words. WAIT FOR IT! WAIT FOR IT!!

    I don’t feel like reading 40 or 50 teaser paragraphs to find your answer. And in those paragraphs leading up to your answer is the same lead in repeated over and over again. Forget it.

    He’s afraid to tell his wife ( female ) that he prefers to wear Tunics ( Dresses & Skirts & Blouses ) because the wife will discriminate against him and throw him out of the house but it’s perfectly acceptable for her to wear Anything she wants. She also thinks he must be Gay which is not the case he just as Straight as she is. Women just like the Church and AMERICA Society looks down on the Men who prefer wearing Tunics ( Dresses, Skirts and Blouses ) because the clothes are more comfortable because of the openness of the dresses and skirts cool to wear. Most men have a mind block thinking that the dresses and skirts are Just for women which there not but are for both men and women.
    Who’s the fault the Psychologist the Church ( Deuteronomy 22-5 being misinterpreted ) Jesus will be coming back REVELATIONS 1-13 wearing a Tunic.
