Redbook deputy editor Jeannie Kim writes that all womankind has 11 near-universal secrets that woman do not tell their husband, some of which will shock men and some of which they'll realize they suspected all along.

 

1. Everything we buy for ourselves—shoes, a skirt, even just stuff from the drugstore—really costs 20 percent more than we tell you it did.

 

2. We actually think about sex—with you!—a lot.

 

3. We're just as nervous about commitment as you are.

 

4. We may be modern and independent, but we still want you to be "the man."

 

5. Our ex-boyfriends were not completely terrible in bed.

 

6.  We're scared that we'll turn into our mothers.

 

7. We want you to be jealous—but just a little bit.

 

8. Yes, we fantasize about hot celebrity guys, but that doesn't mean we want you to be them.

 

9. We tell our girlfriends more than we admit to you (but less than you fear).

 

10. We really do notice and appreciate all the chores you do.

 

11. We love you with all our hearts, but we still get wistful about the fact that we'll never feel that falling-in-love sizzle and spark again.

 

I have no idea about these as I am not married yet. But ppl who 'I DO 'ed mus be havin some say. I donno how many of these are acceptable as secretes as these jus conclusion of a writer (editor). I have seen 1, 3, 6, 7 and 8. I had no luck in 4.
