I wouldnt like to think that there is 80% of my husband's character that i dont know. Any thoughts on this?

There seems to be an 80/20 rule about almost anything :-) I would expect that as he is your husband the ratio is indeed 80/20 knowing,rather than 20/80 not knowing. Everyone has a small aspect of themselves they keep hidden but that doesn't mean it is a threat :-)

20% is quite a bit if you ask me. I don't think I know anyone that well. I know the person in the particular setting that I see them, but they can change from one venue to the next. This is not a bad thing. In fact, why would you want to be so inflexible that you were always the same everywhere. I don't even think I know myself that well if you want the truth. I am not a flake, but I am constantly changing and developing new interests. I hope never to become so boring and predictable that someone will know me 100%.

That's an absolute fallacy unless you live in different states, cities, countries, etc. How can you not know a husband if you both are in love and committed to each other. I lost by best friend and husband almost 2 years ago. He was a part of me and I miss him so very much. I knew him as well as I knew myself and so therefore a part of me is missing. Does that answer your question?

I think we probably know 80% and dont know 20%. I have found that no matter how much you think you know somebody, you dont know that they dont tell you. I think most people would be shocked if they were to get a view into that 20% of their partner.

I wouldn't put a number on it, but i know that you know them as you spent time together. Haven't you noticed slight changes in interest, language, body talk from the the moment you started and now? The man who use to open the car door for you assume that you can do it now by yourself? They are not like an open book, let say they are like a puzzle

I'd agree that there are probably lots of things that people don't know about each other, a persons character is a complicated thing and it is probably not possible to completely know and understand someone. I reckon a lot of people don't really know me as I am a quiet person and I don't open up to people easily.

We all have a past that we dont want anyone to know...Maybe thats a good thing. We all do 80% may be high but its close.

I think its possible to be more than that. I know everything about my guy. I can call his next move before he can... I know his beliefs, thoughts, emotions, his family, friends, coworkers, his next word, his outlook on life, his reaction to things as they happen...I can even tell hes going to turn in his sleep or start snoring before the first move or sound is made. We know each other completely.
