The Sneakiest Thing About Him, Based On His Zodiac Sign
He might not be an open book after all.
weheartit Does your boyfriend tell you everything or do you think he's keeping secrets from you? We want our partners to be open and honest but are there some topics that we really don’t need to know? Is it necessary to hear about their digestive system or if they thought a woman on the subway was beautiful?
It depends on the kind of relationship you have and what you consider important, and you hope that your boyfriend is on the same page as you.
Sometimes you can be in a relationship where it feels as if all the communication is one-sided, with you telling your boyfriend everything and them listening but not revealing what’s happening in their life. That’s fine if it works for you, but sometimes it can backfire and you can start to get suspicious about what they’re holding back.
Is your boyfriend deliberately hiding things from you — things from his past or flaws and mistakes he's made? What if your boyfriend loses his job and doesn’t tell you? Do you have a right to know even if you’re not married, or is it up to his discretion? If something directly affects you, then you absolutely need to know even if your boyfriend feels awkward or uncomfortable telling you.
No one is 100 percent honest, not with themselves and not with their partner. They might not be directly lying about but they’re omitting it from the conversations that you have together. If it doesn’t register to them that it’s important, should you be hurt or angry when you find out about it from a source other than your partner?
When someone hides something from you when they have a secret, it’s deliberate, and while the consequences may not be immediately obvious, those hidden things can have a direct effect somewhere down the line.
Here’s what guys hide from you, based on his zodiac sign.

However, if he feels cornered at all, he'll be impatient, will lash out, and may do something a bit dangerous.
