Couples routinely keep secrets from each other despite the damage this does to their relationships. These secrets can range from innocent mistakes to more serious lies.

Relationship secrets can vary, but there are some common trends among them.

If you suspect your loved one isn’t being upfront about everything, one of these secrets might be the culprit:

1. Money secrets. One of the most common secrets in relationships is money and tends to be focused on spending.

Most couples don’t hide their salaries from each other. However, they often hide how much they spend. From an innocent fib about finding something on sale instead of paying full price to more serious lies about thousands in credit card debt, the secrets can differ.

Both men and women try to hide their spending habits.

2. Food secrets. This secret isn’t always easy to keep in a relationship since you usually share a kitchen. It’s not hard to spot the candy wrappers in the trash can or notice the extra bottles of soda in the fridge.

Couples still manage to keep food secrets from each other. However, they’re usually related to eating out instead of what they eat at home.
