How would you react if you came to know about important events in your husband's side of the family and more importantly,your husband has never told you about it, and those events happenned long ago but when you were already married which still makes you part of the family too?Do you feel like an outsider in your husband's family?or do you feel indignant that your husband does not tell you anything at all?How would you approach your husband with this subject?

This is interesting because my husband has lots of family secrets he did not share with me. When we got married and later on I got pregnant, I did not know that their family is keeping a secret: his older sister got pregnant out of wedlock, and I only learned about it when her son, and my daughter were a year old! Imagine my shock when I learned that she had already a child and about the same age as my daughter. It's too many to mention his other family secrets, but I really confront him about them. And each time, he really sounded apologetic and embarassed at the family secret. Well, I don't get offended; it's only that he is too secretive because he is the reserved type of person. I am very open to my husband when it comes to my own family; however, I understand that not all people are open to secrets, and that includes wives like me.

My husband although not reserved,just does not tell me anything unless I ask him.These days I am fed up of asking but feel bad when I come to know from other people about something that happenned in his family.I ask why he does not tell me and then he says that he does not think it was important enough to tell me!
