11 "Don't-Tell-the-Husband" Secrets All Women Keep

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.
