" Your man may give you TMI about his biological functions, but there are some areas of his life that he keeps under wraps because he&amp;#039;s ashamed, shy, or just plain afraid of how you&amp;#039;ll react. Here are four of them. His Friends Are Dogs You probably suspect that your man turns into a different person around his pals. He knows you think this, so if his friends are a bunch of booze-chugging, skirt-chasing delinquents, he has absolutely no incentive to reveal it to you. &amp;quot;I love my friends despite their faults,&amp;quot; says John, 27. &amp;quot;I also love hanging out with them, but that doesn&amp;#039;t mean I engage in all their less-than-wholesome behavior.&amp;quot; If you trust him to behave \u2014 you don&amp;#039;t interrogate him about his nights out and avoid bad-mouthing his buddies \u2014 he&amp;#039;ll trust you enough to explain how Tijuana Tom got his nickname. He Just Got Chewed Out by His Boss Few things can completely destroy a man&amp;#039;s self-image like poor performance on the job. So when things go south at work, he&amp;#039;ll do whatever he can to avoid bringing it up. &amp;quot;I really do like talking to my girlfriend when stuff bothers me, but no matter how lousy I feel about getting reamed at work, it&amp;#039;s one thing I never tell her about,&amp;quot; admits Chris, 33. &amp;quot;I feel like I still need her to think highly of me when other people don&amp;#039;t.&amp;quot; He Fears You&amp;#039;re Out of His League Men obviously go after hot girls, and actually getting one can be a huge ego boost. But for some guys, it becomes an ego bust when they question whether they actually deserve you. &amp;quot;My ex was a part-time model, and she turned so many heads, it was impossible not to be insecure about my own looks,&amp;quot; explains Jeremy, 35. Your guy would never admit to a similar crisis of confidence, so reassure him by repaying a few of the compliments he no doubt lavishes on you. His Family Is Crazy Unfortunately, dysfunctional families are far less funny in real life than they are in prime-time sitcoms. Guys figure they&amp;#039;re a huge relationship red flag for women, so they do their best to keep screwy relatives hidden. &amp;quot;My mom and dad had a horrible divorce, and my brother spent two years in jail,&amp;quot; admits Steve, 30. &amp;quot;But I definitely do not broadcast that, because I don&amp;#039;t want girls to think it&amp;#039;s what my eventual family life will resemble.&amp;quot; And since he can&amp;#039;t keep his family hidden forever, remember: The nut can fall far from the tree.
