Do you expect your spouse to tell you everything...

I don't expect my spouse to pour his heart and soul out to me, which is goog cause he's the strong and silent type anyway. I think it's important to have open lines of communications so that both people in the relationship feel like if they do have something to say they will be heard and what they have to say will matter. I don't share every thought with him, but I don't deliberately hide things from him either. I do like for him to talk to me if something is weighing on his mind or if he is upset about something, I want him to understand he doesn't have to carry burdens alone, but I don't beat him up if he wants to mull something over by himself. I am by nature a more sharing and vocal person than he is, but that is one of the ways that we compliment each other.

I don't. People will always hold their secrets. Especially ones that'll piss your spouse off. Me, personally, I don't keep a secret from my spouse, but he usually keeps secrets from me...

I dont think he tells me every aspect but he is honest with me. There will always be secrets in life and sometimes that can be bad and other times it's not. There are things about my boyfriend's past that he isnt comfortable talking about and can cause him pain, so he doesnt have to tell me if he doesnt want to tell me.

Hello! Everybody is expected to be maintaining some privecy and if my maintains that I should not object.However so far I know she never maintains any secrecy.So also I.We are free to each other and lead a happy married life.thanx.

When I ask a straight question I expect a straight answer. Unfortunately for more than 20 years I have not been getting straight answers. This has put a strain in my relationship with my spouse. I was not expecting to be told everything but hiding the truth when asked for an answer is a bad attitude. Sooner or later the truth will come out. There is nothing wrong with keeping some things secret if we are not asked about them. all the best, rosdimy

Hello sahmof2! My husband and I are away from each other right now. I don't expect him to tell me everything. Because I know he is hiding something from me too which is maybe he won't tell me so that it won't hurt me.

Well I really dont mind my wife not letting me know everything.I usually tell everything but all cant be told.I maintian secrets pertaining to my friends wherein my wife doesn't like me to spend much time with friends.She thinks that I will get spoilt if I am with them like going to booze...So I keep it a secret pertaining to my friends with my wife.
