After a few years of sharing your life with another person, it’s hard to imagine how one can keep vital information from the other. Coming home to someone every single day should be the open invitation to sharing everything, from what you had for lunch to your deepest, darkest thoughts.

As it turns out, many couples keep secrets from one another, some that seem impossible to hold on to for so long. The husband in the story below, for example, has kept his income a secret from his wife for the past 9 years. She works part-time while he buys the house, and pays the bills, but she has no idea how much he actually makes every single month. 

Recently, they started talking about kids, but the wife is uncomfortable starting a family while she is still kept in the dark about their financial situation. The husband, on the other hand, claims she should not concern herself with the details and just trust him that everything is taken care of.

Many people believe that getting married without full transparency in the first place is reckless, and blame the wife for the situation she is in. What do you think? Scroll down for the full story and share your thoughts.
