So here are 3 things that your darling is not telling you, for the sake of both of you:
1. Someone made a pass at them
They will not let you know about each and every wink or flirtatious chat. And that’s all good. If you were to hear about this every day, you would most certainly get controlling and lose your confidence. The main point is that they don’t cheat on you, physically or emotionally.
2. They find someone attractive
It’s perfectly normal to be attracted to other people. And you don’t have to know about it, as long as your significant other doesn’t carry on this interest.
