Unless you're hiding the fact that you're going to buy him a puppy for his birthday, there shouldn't be any secrets between the two of you. If there are, problems are going to arise. You need to trust each other entirely, and if you're withholding information from him, that's never going to happen. If you want a long-lasting, healthy relationship, here are a few secrets you should never keep from your boyfriend:

2. Who’s Been Hitting on You
If a guy at work asks you on a date, your boyfriend deserves to know. You'd want to know about the women interested in him, wouldn't you?
Frequently asked questions
3. That Your Ex Contacted You
It doesn't matter if your boyfriend is comfortable with you talking to the opposite sex or not. Either way, you should let him know that your ex is trying to hang out with you.
4. Your Health Problems
If you have a nut allergy, tell your man about it. Otherwise, he might whip up peanut butter cupcakes for you.
5. What He Does to Annoy You
You shouldn't criticize every move he makes. However, if you can't stand it when he calls you "honey bunny," let him know so that he stops doing it.
6. Your Family Problems
If you two end up together, your family will become his family, too. That's why you shouldn't keep your family's secrets a secret from him.
7. What You Imagine Your Future to Be like
If he can't wait to have kids, but you don't want to be a mother, you need to tell him. He deserves to know your opinion on the matter.
8. Your Embarrassing Moments as a Kid
You shouldn't hold back from telling your man stories, even if those stories are incredibly embarrassing.
9. What Turns You on
Tell him what drives you crazy so that he'll do it. Don't be shy.
10. That You Have an STD
If you're sleeping with him, you need to tell him about your STD. It's only fair.
11. That You’ve Been in Jail
If you have a criminal record, it's better he knows it from the start. You don't want him finding out from someone else.
12. That You’re an Addict
If you're addicted to drugs, alcohol, or sex, he should know.
13. That You Have Male Friends
You shouldn't hang out with other men behind his back. Tell him all about your male friends, so that he doesn't feel betrayed.
14. That You Have Bad Credit
If you end up buying a house together, he's going to find out about your bad credit. You might as well tell him before you start looking for places to live.
15. That You Had a Husband
If you were married before, or had a serious boyfriend, you should tell your current boyfriend about him. You don't have to go into detail. Just make sure you mention him.
16. How You Feel about His Family
If you hate the way his mother talks to you, you don't have to pretend you love her. Gently tell him that you don't appreciate the way she treats you.
17. That You like Taylor Swift
Don't hide your guilty pleasures from your man. He won't judge you.
If you want your relationship to last, you need to be honest with your partner. Are you keeping any secrets from your boyfriend?
Comments
TinkerbellMoi: Good article! Except the last one is funny haha not everyone likes Taylor Swift you know..
Kira: Lots of what is listed here are frankly none of his business. And if you're not comfortable sharing some things with him, then you shouldn't feel pressured to share with him.
peony: Cant handle taylor swift
Grace: @Cynthia Latif, Hey
Danyi: Mmmm I can agree with many of these things, however, some others are none of his business, credit score? How much I spend? Family problems?? This are none of his concern, unless we are talking about people who live together then I can understand sharing this details
Keila: The one about Taylor swift was kind of funny to me, maybe is because I don't like her at all!
Ellzelly: Most of this is awful advice!
Kellie: I agree: this is terrible advice. I am deleting this app. One more thing- thank God I don't have self-esteem issues, as the photos AWS uses are photoshopped, filtered, & airbrushed. Real women don't look like this. Goodbye! 👸🏻👸🏻👸🏻
Kirsty: What a load of shite. Seriously I do not know why I keep reading any of the AWS articles anymore. I keep coming back hoping there will be something at least half good, but no. 👎
Mariah: @TinkerbellMoi exactly! On our first date I made sure I told my boyfriend that I hated her so he wouldn't end up playing any of her annoying songs. I thought I was the only person in the world who doesn't like her
