Channeling Carrie Bradshaw

I was watching Sex in the city last night. Reruns, you know.
It was the episode where Big buys Carrie this gaudy Judith Leiber duck purse and she wonders if he really knows her at all. How could he possibly think she would like something like that?
I’ve always felt that way in relationships. Does any guy ever really know me? Is it me or is it just the way guys are?

A friend told me yesterday that he loved the fact that there is a hidden part of me that very few people know. He thought people would be quite shocked to know this side of me.
I wondered: Do we all have hidden sides? How much of a person do we ever truly know?

If you have a significant other, do you feel you know that person inside and out? Are you sure they don’t have a hidden side?
How would it make you feel to know someone else knows that other side?

There are very few of us who know ourselves completely.
Sometimes we think we are one way but really we are another. Who’s right? The person we think we are or the person we show to others?
I know I’m just asking one question after another but life is nothing but questions.
There aren’t many things we know for sure. Life is about lots of questions but very few answers.
Relationships just add to the queries. Does anyone ever figure this shit out?
How do we find happiness amongst all these question marks?

Man, that's a lot of questions.

After ten years I still don't know shit about my wife. Partly due to being a guy...remembering details about how what sweetner she puts in her coffee or whatever...I'm not good at that. It doesn't interest me.

However, in someways I know more about her than she does. I know the important stuff, like how she'll react to circumstances, etc. I think I know her hopes and dreams.

The one thing no guy will ever be able to do is pick out a suitable gift. We're hopelessly bad, even though we really try.
