Top 5 Items Women Hide From Their Husbands

When you think of a marriage, you think, love, trust, and above all honesty. According to Foxnews, this is not always the case. Here are the Top 5 things women hide from their husbands.

1. Health Concerns - Women do not like to discuss health concerns with their husbands

“Women will hide worrisome concerns from their spouse to protect their husband or decrease distress—especially if it feels major,” said psychologist Kristen Carpenter, PhD, Director of Women’s Behavioral Health at Ohio State’s Wexner Medical Center. 

This can be a real issue as opening up to your husband about any possible medical issues will help get support from your husband.

2. Trouble In The Relationship - If you think that your relationship is in trouble, hiding it from your husband is probably not the best idea. Especially if it involves him.

According to Jodie Voth, MMFT, a therapist in practice in Canada. “I cannot tell you how often women come to therapy without their husband’s knowledge,” she said. “Their goal? To decide if the relationship is worth saving or not.”

3. Sexual Preferences - This is a sensitive subject that needs to be talked about. If you are feeling that your sex life needs pizzazz, or if you are feeling unsatisfied and want to try new things. Or if there are things you don't want to do, don't stay quiet! Talk to him about it.

4. Personal Success - Women do not normally talk to their husbands about any type of success, for the worry that it will become some form of competition. According to Kristen Carpenter, PhD, Director of Women’s Behavioral Health at Ohio State’s Wexner Medical Center.

The best is answer is to find the right guy—someone who derives their notions of self-worth from a variety of domains, not just the areas where you’re successful, too.” So don’t sabotage your personal successes on a man’s behalf. Ever! 

5. Bank Accounts- Back in the day it was normal for a mother to tell her daughter to always keep a separate bank account and keep money in it in case things do not work out.  According to Fox News, this can be good and bad. Good because you have a feeling of self-worth, it can also be bad to lie about it, as it can impact the trust and support system with your husband.
