Chattanooga, Tennessee—(Wise Brother)

If you had a secret you needed to tell someone, who would you confide in . . . other than your dog.

In a new poll, 32% of people say their spouse or partner knows the “largest number” of their secrets.  18% say a friend knows the most secrets . . . and 11% of people claim they “don’t have any secrets.”  (Sure . . .)

When broken down by gender, men are more likely to confide in a partner or a parent . . . while women are more likely to share secrets with a friend or a sibling.  Women are also slightly more likely to confide in a child.

The breakdown was similar when asked who you are most likely to “talk to first when you have a personal problem.”

And when asked who knows you the best, 41% of people said “partner,” which was the most popular answer.  But again, men were more likely to say that.  11% of women said it’s a CHILD . . . only 5% of men said that.
