11 secrets most men keep

Ooo this one is interesting

You may think you know your husband better than anyone, but chances are he has at least one ''don't-tell-the-wife'' secret -- and he may have 11 of them!

Men get smarter as they age. While a younger man might think being honest is always the best policy, he quickly learns that some things are best kept secret the first time he confesses to his girlfriend that yes, he was watching that pretty young thing in the bikini wash her car.


Magazine writer and editor Ty Wenger revealed in Redbook what every woman wants to know: What secrets is her husband keeping from her?

Although men who tell too many lies and keep too many secrets risk souring a relationship from lack of trust, some of the more innocuous lies are told and secrets are kept to keep the peace. That is the kind of secret Wenger is revealing. And ladies, some of these secrets will melt your heart and make you so happy you married the man you did.

Eleven secrets most men keep, including your husband:

1. Yes, he falls in lust 10 times a day -- but it doesn't mean he wants to leave you.

2. He actually does play golf to get away from you.

3. He is unnerved by the notion of commitment, even after he has made one to you.

4. Earning money makes him feel important.

5. Though he often protests, he actually enjoys fixing things around the house.

6. He likes it when you mother him, but he's terrified that you'll become your mother.

7. Every year he loves you more.

8. He really doesn't understand what you're talking about when you discuss 'issues' in your relationship. It makes no sense at all to him -- even though he will nod in agreement and apparent understanding.

9. He is terrified when you drive.

10. He'll always wish he was 25 again.

11. Give him an inch and he'll give you a lifetime. Translation: Let him be a dumb guy and play poker with his buddies or go on vacation alone, and he'll love you forever for that

well the only thing that is a typical guy on the list is 'he does play golf to get away from you' and also the last one, other than that its mostly about their feelings and stuff BUT that can interpreted differently from relationship to relationship...They say GOlf as an example but they dont mean only golf, it can apply to anything a man is into and goes away to do, for some its sports, others its work, some its computers or whatever else there is.

the list is secrets 'MOST' men keep but yes many men are open about it, but its about the fact that these are things all men feel whether they keep it a secret or not.

Theres a couple of things on that list that i know for a fact and FH doesnt hide. He does love being 'mothered' many times but then other times he hates it lol

Re: 11 secrets most men keep

I am scared when he drives lol so we're the opposite in that...not that he doesnt know how to drive bc he is a great driver but sometimes he pulls some stupid, crazy moves and it annoys him bc ill say things like 'when we are on the highway and its a curve you can't switch lanes bc infact the car right next to you, you won't be able to see its a blindspot, thats why on sharp turns or even regular turns on highways they tell you to stay in the lane' lol he calls me drivers ed denise

i used to scream but i stopped bc he says its worst to startle him which is true bc i hate that when im driving lol

TOO bad he doesn't always listen, most of the time hes fine but sometimes he'll pull insane moves like being in the city where its 4-5 lanes and were in the lane all the way to the left at a red light and says oh its better if i make a right and then decides right when the other side of the traffic light turns yellow he'll fly across in front of 4 lanes to do it

that sounds like a move my FH would do....i think that is why he doenst say anything when im driving - b/c he knows that he does worse manuevers than I do BUT i can still tell that he HATES when i drive.....he pretends it doesnt bother him but i can tell b/c he gets really uncomfortable and sometimes he holds on to that handle on the ceiling by the door and when i ask whats wrong he just tells me he is comfortable sitting like that - yeaaaaaaaah right!
