We keep it secret because it would come out as a humiliation to our partner. Still, we harbor these thoughts and can assume our partner does too. So it is a case of deliberate ignorance, we would rather not know, like the date of our death, or what others are gossiping about us.

Really? that few couples sit on the couch and are like
"mmm I am so adding Chris Evans to my freebie list"
"Fair enough but I'm adding Malin Akerman to mine"
"Hey, no fair, she's already on mine"
"Can't we share?"
"OK"
Seems sad...Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
