[quote=Anonymous]Married nearly 30 yrs. He knows 95 percent of everything.  But not everything. There is such a thing as oversharing imo.  Things I haven't shared:

1 how I get lonely sometimes BC he always is busy with his hobbies...tennis, golf, etc. Yes I played tennis for years to keep up but his League is much higher than mine. So it wasn't a couple's thing.  Golf, it's with the guys. Now when he's gone for the day, I do something fun myself, museums, walks, bike ride, cafés, meet a girlfriend for lunch etc.

2 how a guy I knew over 30 years ago emails me once a year to check in how I am with life. He sends family pics. We exchange one or two short emails.  Usually just over a period of a few days.  I don't share much personal stuff with him. But I like hearing from him once a year. He lives thousands of miles away.  Apparently I was the one that got away. Ten years ago he wanted to fly out and meet me. I was horrified and we didn't communicate for a couple years. He was embarrassed I think. A couple years went by and he started his annual email to me again.

3 how I have some regrets about marrying into his crazy in-laws. He's a good person but there is some serious addiction and dysfunctional stuff in his family that has long term impacts.

4 how years ago a work colleague was flirty with me and I was flirty back.

5 how he's overweight and been trying to lose 25 pounds for the past 15 years.  Getting a little tired of hearing about it. But I would never tell him that or call him overweight.

So yes he knows 95 plus percent but not everything single thing.  [/quote]
