7 Things Not to Share with Your Boyfriend ...

When it comes to relationships, there are always boundaries. Whether you like it or not, they are there and it is your job to make sure you don't overstep yours. I don't believe you should ever intentionally hide anything from your man, but there are a few things you should never share with him. Read on to discover what they are!

Your Bodily Functions

Yea, everybody farts. And everyone has to go poop. And shockingly, every person in the world has belched at one time or another. But men like to think of us as ladylike and feminine. After all, isn't that what attracts them to us in the first place? So don't give any raunchy details about your period or your stomach flu. Save all that for your diary!

2

Your Girlfriends' Secrets

This really is a no-brainer. Your friends confide in you and expect you to keep that confidence. After all, they do the same for you, right? So keep their trust intact. You have no idea how hard it is on a guy to hear us dish about all the latest gossip when all they want to do is rest after a long day. And if the secret you are telling is one of your close girlfriends who happens to have a boyfriend that your man sees everyday, it may be hard for him not to let it slip.

Your Toothbrush

Yes, I know you kiss him and you both drink from the same glass occasionally. But we live in a civilized age and hygiene is a little more obvious now than it was 200 years ago. Toothbrushes only cost a few dollars. Buy your own!

4

Your Password

Unless you both share an email account, or you're married, this is a big no-no. Giving him your password may encourage him to "check up" on you, and all that's going to do is raise insecurities on your part and feelings of distrust on yours. Not good for a healthy relationship. Plus, he may find out about the surprise party you were planning him for next weekend!

5

Your Dislike for His Mother

There will always be a few of us who can't stand or get along with our in-laws. But that doesn't mean you should give him a highlighted, detailed list of the 492 reasons why every time you have to be around them! He may feel pressured to choose between you, or he may get aggravated with you and put a strain on your relationship. If the problem is too big to be ignored, gently state your case. If he doesn't see it your way, give him some time and in the meantime, learn to bite your tongue and keep your cool.

Your Insecurities

If you think your thighs are too fat, your hair is too curly and your teeth are too crooked, try to refrain from bringing it up every 3 to 4 hours. Men get tires of hearing about our horrible bodies. He thinks you are beautiful. He's with you isn't he? And if he accepts you, you can certainly accept yourself! Besides, you drawing attention to your "flaws" may make him notice it when it never really stood out before.

Your past...in Detail

While it's never OK to lie or hide your past from someone if you are in a committed relationship, it's also not OK to tell your significant other how many times a day you kissed each one of your exes or give him the livid details of what you and your girlfriends used to do to get back at all the guys who broke your hearts. Guys just don't need to know that sort of stuff. They always wonder if they measure up or if you regret choosing them. Don't give him reason to wonder!

You CAN have an open, honest relationship with your man. All you need to do in order to achieve it is be kind and thoughtful and think about what you say before you say it! Do you ever share things with your sweetie that you probably shouldn't?

Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

In my most successful relationships so far, I've shared everything on this list, except for the toothbrush thing of course. I try to be tactful with certain topics, but I can't imagine being in a close relationship without being open with most everything, at least after being together for quite a while. Maybe I'm too trusting, but its always worked out for me, and even after breakups I've stayed pretty close to my exes. Its always just been my opinion that the most valuable things you can have in a relationship are trust and communication.

my boyfriend knows everything about me, not because I suggest to tell him but because he always asks. he knows, and sees, all of my everything and yet, he really does seem to love me more for it. if your really in love and open with your guy, there is no reason for him to get that uncomfortable with you, your business, or your bodily functions.

ok so first off there are so many men out there that you perfer you to be comfortable enough to say fart or burp in front of them and its very unhealthy to hold it in now im not saying that i just let it out whenever but if it slips so what get over it they do and actually they laugh when it happens and as for the inlaws im not saying to make him choose cuz family is family but you should all at least sit down and talk it over and figure out the common grounds.. and the last point about sharing your past i dont do that but men do it too my current bf made the mistake of telling me things that i just shouldnt have known and now i feel really insecure about our relationship and i just dont think i measure up so men do it too not just women and if anything we get more hurt by it because we are more insecure about ourselves.

How about MY mother! lol jk

I don't agree with the bodily function issue.. FYI, I am a man.. if i like a girl, i'll accept all about her.. honestly.. we men love our girlfriends and we treat them like our brat sisters.. we like to make fun of them when they farts.. HEY, everybody farts n poops, every armpit stinks, every female got period, it's totally fine for us.. and we men don't like girls that is so pretentious, fake, unnatural, poser etc.. it kills the chemistry..
