This may be an unpopular opinion, but I think everyone has the right to a couple of secrets, even from their partner. That being said, this shouldn’t become a habit and you shouldn’t be hiding anything major. The good news for you ladies is that we guys are notoriously bad at keeping things a secret. If you think your man might be hiding things from you, here are some signs you may be right.
1. He seems distant
Is your boyfriend suddenly withdrawing and refusing to engage in conversation? This might be due to his wish to avoid being caught in a scenario where he might unintentionally or be forced to reveal a secret. Staying distant communicates the message that he will not engage with you, even if you express interest.
2. He shares a lot of details
Unless your man is a phenomenal storyteller or a detail-oriented person, something is usually amiss when he starts sharing a lot of details. This is a classic case of distraction and overcompensating. By throwing a lot of details at you, he thinks you’ll forget some things or won’t know to pick up on the important stuff. It’s also his way of making it seem like he’s being open and forthcoming with you. if this kind of behavior is unusual, it might be masking a secret.
3. He does not let you see his phone
A man who is concerned about the security of his phone and laptop definitely has a lot to conceal. This is the first sign that something isn’t quite right. While many men despite having their privacy invaded, dramatic reactions such as checking to see whether you saw him type in his password or panicking out because you unintentionally caught a glance of his phone are not typical.
4. He lies about his whereabouts
If a guy has nothing to conceal, he will not need to lie about his whereabouts. Is he keeping a tight lid on where he’s going and who he’ll be meeting? If you’ve ever discovered disparities between his story of where he was on a given day and what you learned from his buddies, he’s certainly doing things he knows you won’t approve of.
