What is something that, as a woman, you wish you could tell your spouse without him getting mad, but you can’t?

I don’t care what your gender is or what kind of relationship you’re in. Just be civil in the comments. I’ve had a few friends tell me that there are certain things that their spouses would probably be very angry to know that they think, but they can’t express it without them getting angry or distant. And a lot of other people say that there is always 100% transparency and honesty in their relationship and if that’s true for you, congratulations. I guess what I’m trying to say is I want people to be able to be brutally honest here. I’m going to go ahead and start: I wish I could tell my husband that I hate that his career trumps mine. I know that he has to work crazy hours to become what he wants to become, but I also know that I will never be able to have a career in my field because I’m a SAHM with no free time to do anything other than take care of our kids and the house and him and the pets and the yard work.<br><br>The second thing I wish I could say is that I wish he would touch me more. I wish he would be more romantic. I wish he would do anything that showed he cares about me. I don’t think he does. I love him and he does a lot for us and I know that he cares about me, but he doesn’t show me. He does enough to show he cares about the kids, and he does enough to show he cares for himself, but he doesn’t do anything to show affection to me. It kills me that if I said that to him he would tell me I’m being clingy or needy or insecure.
