Truth can be sometimes painful. There are quite a lot of things your boyfriend wants to tell you, but he doesn’t because he cares about you and doesn’t want to hurt your feelings.

No worries! Here are the 10 things he wishes he could say but is scared to:

He Notices Those Five Extra Pounds   

When you’re a new couple, every so often you put on what could be considered “couples weight.” You know, the few extra pounds that as if by magic appear from dining out and not going to the gym as you’re so busy spending time with each other. This doesn’t mean your man isn’t still attracted to you! He just wishes you would look the same as when you met.

He Doesn’t like Calling to Say Goodnight  

Men don’t like being forced into things. They like to call you because they want to, not because they’re being forced to. He knows you think it’s sweet when he calls to say goodnight, so he does it to make you happy. But he doesn’t really want to.

He Wants You to Show Some Skin  

Men are visual. They like you to look great incessantly! He realizes when you put effort into your appearance, even if you’re just going to a casual dinner. Simple and plain, your boyfriend wants you to deck up.

He Doesn’t Think You Need so Much Makeup

Men don’t die for makeup. They don’t notice the extra highlighter you put on your cheekbones or if your eyeliner is blue or black. Men like the people they date to be naturally beautiful. Your boyfriend likes when you wear subtle makeup. He wants you to look like yourself.

He Doesn’t Want to Spend 24/7 with Your Family  

Family is always a touchy subject. Your boyfriend is dating you, not your family. Of course, he respects and cares about your family, but he doesn’t need to be with them every weekend. Seeing them once a week is great.

He Likes Hanging out with His Friends

Men crave guy time. Whether it’s sitting around boozing or going out for drinking, he loves hanging out with his friends. He wants to tell you that he needs more man time, but he doesn’t want to go against you.

He Would Love More Adventure

He would adore trying something new in the bedroom, but he doesn’t understand how to make this known to you without being offensive. A new position or two could actually spruce things up.

He Enjoys Staying Home  

Going out is fun, but so is staying home. Being out and about every night gets tiring. Your man enjoys a home-cooked meal and a night on the couch more than you think.
