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:

How Much You’ve Been Spending
If you wasted a grand on a new pocketbook, he deserves to know. Even if you're not sharing your money now, you will eventually, so he should have an idea of your spending habits.

Who’s Been Hitting on You

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.

Your Health Problems

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.

Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
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.

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.

Your Embarrassing Moments as a Kid

That You Have an STD
If you're sleeping with him, you need to tell him about your STD. It's only fair.

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.

That You Have Bad Credit

That You Had a Husband

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.

That You like Taylor Swift
Don't hide your guilty pleasures from your man. He won't judge you.
