A husband holds a special place in a woman’s life. He’s not only a life partner, but is also a friend, a confidant, a caretaker or simply the father to their child. But despite all this, there are some hidden secrets which a wife never confesses to her husband. Read on to know more:
1. The First Infatuation

He’s that handsome man who sweeps a girl off her feet for the very first time – the movie/TV star, a sportsperson or the high school senior who isn’t even aware of her existence. However far-fetched it may seem, it’s the first infatuation in a girl’s life who sets a benchmark for the kind of life partner she desires thereafter. Charming, fiery, chivalrous yet vulnerable, a woman expects her man to be straight out of a fairytale. Though women eventually accept their partners for what they are, they secretly wish their partner still had some of the qualities of their first infatuation.
2. First Night Fantasies

While a woman may be happy being romantic with her partner before marriage, she’s secretly fantasizing about her first night with him. With movies like the Fifty Shades trilogy setting new standards of lovemaking, women these days need not look far for inspiration. They are no more shy of trying out something new or bold. She may continue to behave coy and hard-to-get until the D-Day though, and will never confess what she’s been fantasizing about all along!
3. Those Not-In-The-Mood Nights

Often wives whine about lack of adventurous love-life or romance, and just when their husbands think they had it all figured, she’s suddenly ‘not up to it’. She may attribute it to general tiredness, and even fake some sleep. While husbands may jump to vague conclusions about this sudden change, chances are that the ‘actual’ reason may be something as simple as bad breath or body odor, which a wife never confesses so as not to hurt his fragile ego. She may, however, drop subtle hints later like, ‘Honey, when was the last time you had a haircut’? or give him an expensive perfume!
4. Being In Touch With An Old Flame

In their quest to find the “right one”, women and men generally get into relationships that may or may not work in the end. While it’s easier for the husband to confide it to his wife, sometimes intimate details included, it is the unpredictable nature of male reaction that prevents women from confiding about theirs. More so, if that old flame happens to be a common friend or still happens to be in touch with her.
5. Some Harmless Flirting

Quite often flirting is attributed to men, irrespective of their marital status. However, this doesn’t mean that women do not enjoy some harmless flirting themselves; sometimes just to liven up the drudgery of their routine lives. From simple compliments about her looks to some tea time with the office cutie, all these can cheer her up in unimaginable ways, yet something she will never divulge to her spouse.
6. What Happens In A Girl-Gang, Stays In A Girl-Gang!

Women are most at ease when in the company of their soul sisters. This allows them to be more daring and adventurous. From dancing with a stranger at a pub to enjoying a striptease at a bachelorette party for one of their group members, women love to indulge themselves but always with a healthy amount of discretion. Although these kinds of outings can strengthen the bond of their girl gang, it is not appropriate to share these wild details with their husbands.
7. Fantasizing About That Mysterious Man

He may be the one who often bumps into her in the most unexpected places with uncanny regularity; the one who smiles at her every time they enter the office elevator; the one who’ll eagerly help load stuff at the supermarket billing counter; or simply the guy living next door who walks his dog past her house. He may not ever have a conversation with her but this wouldn’t stop her from fantasizing about him occasionally. The once-in-a-while thought of which brings a smile to her face!
