Five things he'd never tell you
1 That he's depressed
Studies suggest that men, well, most of them, are much less likely to admit to feeling depressed to women. On the face of it, you could blame it on that dangerously misplaced thing called ego.

Keep all the snooping aside and keep your eyes open to spot signs that suggest your man is depressed.
2 That he didn't really love you back then
Did he ever tell you that he loved you too soon? He did? Don't fall for it. If he said he fell in love with your lovely smile the first time he saw you, he must have said it to get you into his bed.
3 That he finds your best friend/sister attractive
He'll never tell you that he finds your best friend/younger sister hot, no matter how chilled out a girlfriend you are. Why? Because he's read enough agony aunt columns to know that no girl will take it kindly that her boyfriend lusts for someone other than her.

3 That she still misses her ex
