no i don't and i have been married almost 16 years and i don't tell my hubby everything why do that they don't understand us half the time anyhow and if you tell them everything there goes the mystery do you finish reading a book when you know everything that going to happen in it and the ending ruins it just like it would a relationship what he doesn't know won't hurt him just as i'm sure he doesn't tell me everything..and most times if it is somehting bad they just use it to throw in your face later on when a argument starts so whats the use?..

i'm not married...yet :) but i tell him everything. well all the stuff that i think is important. there are some things he doesn't need to know, because they are best not said, and i'm sure there some things he doesn't tell me too. however, if i want to know something all i got to do is ask. all in all we're very honest with each other and that's what really counts.

No I don't. I will tell him about any major thing but all the little things that happen daily would keep him listening the whole night long. I don't ask him what he does either. We trust each other. Several years ago, I bought a new car and put a dent in the back bumper within two weeks. He didn't notice it lol. But one of the kids pointed it out to him later on and he asked what happened. I told him I backed into a post at the car wash, which was true. He laughed, end of story. Those type of things we do back and forth. But on the major things in our life, we discuss then always.

Spouse is not the right word for me either. Partner... Do I tell him everything? Only if he listens. LOL He doesn't always want to know and if he is not interested, the wall would listen more than he. So what's the point?

I have been married for 15 years, and although I have never lied to my husband, I don't tell him EVERYTHING either. It's not that I don't trust him, or I do things that would anger him or that he wouldn't like. It doesn't have anything to do with lack of trust or lack of love. I know he doesn't tell me everything either. We believe that both of us should have a little "space" that's private where some of our thoughts, feelings and dreams might go. I still trust my husband 100% and he trusts me and maybe it's that "secret space" of his that makes him so attractive to me. Or maybe it's that we were best friends for 10 years before thinking about marriage.

I don't tell my partner everything. That's not because I don't want to. The main reasons are because he doesn't listen anyway and because the odd time he does listen, he thinks I mean something else! So I have found it easier to just not tell him some things and get on with it!

well, im not married yet, so will talk about my bf. yes, i tell me my bf everything and so does he. we believe that honesty is the best policy and it's easier to tell him rather than lie, cos when you tell 1 lie, you have to have another 1 lie to cover up the 1st, and the list will go on. so i prefer the easy way out, say everything.

I not married yet. even i have married i wouldn't tell her everything because we should have our own secret. some time let her know too many thing is not good idea as the more she know the more chanece to argue. if you know that she will angry after knowing that thing, will you still tell her?? this may broken the relationship. may be there are something if she ask me i will tell her but if she never ask me then i will never tell her. i think this is not consider ascheating.

I tell my husband the important stuff, which consumes most of our converstation. I tell him about any thing with the kids, bills, insurance, and work. The little things I do not bug him, as I'm sure he does not bug me with the intricate details of his work.
