[quote=Anonymous]Funny, my wife is exactly like OP.  We discussed this at length in counseling.  Bottom line is, things are left out or omitted because the offending party does not want to hear "No" or be grilled every time they do something that the other party may not like, regardless of how small or insignificant it may seem.  No one wants to offer up that they did something and then be hammered on it, especially insignificant things like OP posted.  Even the issue of the kid being picked up by another parent.  For example if the husband was at work, and the DW was running late and asked another parent to pick up her kid and hold them for 30 minutes, would it be necessary for the wife to phone the husband at work and let him know about this plan?  She would just do it.  As I husband I would not want to be pulled out of a meeting for such a trivial issue.  If I wanted to know where my kid was I would phone my wife who was responsible for them at that time.

Bottom line is, when DH feels he can tell DW anything of minor issue and she will not judge, probe, or nag, then he will tell her more.  If not, its just easier to avoid these issues and conceal them.  I bet for the 4 here, DH has avoided many times more that she did not discover by snooping through his wallet or garbage.  For him, that is probably a good trade off.[/quote]
