Secret #1​​​​​​​​​​​

When in a relationship, men will look at other women- it's inevitable.

There are only three things which are guaranteed, death, taxes and the fact

that yes, we did indeed look. If you were to ask the question

“Did you look at her” the truthful answer would be   Yes -- yes, I did.

If you believe for sure that he didn’t, he clearly has amazing peripheral vision.

Now, this doesn’t mean we want to leave you and we are well aware that

this is sure to infuriate you but seriously, the ‘quick look’ doesn’t mean

anything more than that, a quick look.

Secret #2

​​​​​​​​​​​Men are terrified of commitment, even after they’ve made theirs to you.

Okay, so this is a tricky one, But as boys growing up our dreams were not of white picket fences and 2.5 children and dogs, cats, home bonds and nice girls we could marry and watch every sunset with for the next forty years. Rather, we were thinking of how many girls we could get to have ‘nookie’ with us before we turned 30. It generally takes us a couple of decades to outgrow that thought.

So yes, we think you’re amazing. And yes we’re delighted to be married to you. And most of the time we’re excited at the prospect of growing old with you, but we do have those moments where we’re absolutely petrified at the thought of a 20 year home bond and being responsible for other lives (if there are children), and all the domesticity that comes along with it. But it never means we don’t love you.

​Secret #5

Seriously, We really don’t understand what you're talking about.

So you spend the day thinking about some serious ‘heart to heart’ you want to have with your other half. You get home, make dinner, time it so he’s relaxed and paying attention and then you hit the ‘play’ button. Pouring your heart out, baring your soul and he sits there, nodding and saying things like ” I understand”  or “Yes, you’re right” or “Of course, that makes sense”

Well truth is, men don’t really understand. At all. And its not that they don’t care, they do, very much. Its just that the male brain does not process in the same way as the female brain and the part of the brain that processes all of what you were trying to say, is the same part of the brain the stores Playstation strategies and Sports trivia. And most times, we only hear the first half of what you said.

Secret #6

We do wish we were young again.

All guys wish they were in the twenties again – they reminisce about their carefree days when life was good (eating a can of baked beans for dinner) and they had no responsibility (except to meet the mates for a pint on a Friday afternoon). It doesn’t mean they’re going to run off on some crazy real life version of ‘Wild Hogs’, it just reminds them of a time where it was easier to get away with certain things and the only thing or person they had to worry about was themselves.

 

 

 

Now ladies, don’t go getting all holy and sanctimonious about this because the truth is: We all keep secrets. So yeah, he may flirt when he’s out with the guys, you know it’s harmless and you also know, you probably do it too when you’re out with your girls. Or what about that pair of shoes you bought, hid in your closet for a month, and when you finally did wear them said: “Oh, these? New? No, babe you probably just noticing them now, I’ve had these for ages” So cut the guy some slack, accept that men and women are different, they both tell the odd “white lie” and just love him regardless.
