Experts point out that the types of secrets people keep also vary by gender. Women are more likely to keep secrets because they are worried their partners would not understand, while men are more likely scared that their partner would criticise or disapprove of their behaviour.

He told me stories about the two affairs he had (that his wife found out about). He was quite the storyteller and this was many, many years after the affairs and in fact he had been widowed for six years. As entertaining as these stories were, they didn't make me think more highly of him for sure.

He used to crack book spines intentionally so they would be "easier to read." I got him to stop by introducing him to audiobooks.

My husband only eats the bottom half of the asparagus.
Needless to say, I didn’t know that when I agreed to marry him.
