While men might tend to keep secrets, women are the more secretive ones, and they keep a lot of secrets over various things going on in their lives. Even researchers have found that women are the more secretive partners.
The kind of secrets women keep is well detailed in this article here, but then, why do women keep secrets?
1. THEY FEEL THREATENED BY IT
A major reason women keep secrets from their partner is because they feel threatened of the problems the secret might bring if it’s exposed. Women hide certain things from their man because they are unsure of how he would react.
2. THEY FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE TO SHARE IT
Another reason women hide things a lot is because they don’t really feel comfortable revealing those deep things to their man; they will rather stuff it in their minds and forget it ever happened.
3. THEY FEEL IT’S UNNECESSARY
Some certain secrets might appear as little and ordinary in a woman’s eyes, and she might not see the need to tell her man about it. She waves these kinds of secrets away as if it never even existed.
4. FEAR OF BEING JUDGED
The fear of being judged makes a lot of women keep secrets from their man. In a bid not to dampen their reputation in their man’s eyes, women keep certain secrets. They’d rather keep their man’s approval intact than meet his disapproval.
5. FOR PEACE
As ironical as it sounds, women keep certain secrets to hold the peace in the relationship. They wouldn’t want to hurt or destroy their relationship, so they would rather hide certain things than make their man aware of it.
6. TO JUSTIFY THEIR ACTIONS
Of course, women love to justify their actions, so they reveal half-baked truths, in other words petty secrets just to create an illusion that they are being honest and their actions are right. When a woman wants to justify her actions, she withholds certain truths and keeps some secrets.
Women keep secrets more than men, and sometimes they even keep secrets unconsciously.
