Maintaining a private relationship is what many of us aspire towards. Secret relationships are a different story. Sadly, many people fall for the Okie Doke and end up playing the role of the hidden lover while trying to comply with their partner’s desire to have a so-called private relationship. If you’ve been wondering if your partner’s adamance about maintaining a low profile has less to do with privacy and more to do with hiding you and your relationship, look no further. Here are ten tell-tale signs that your relationship is a secret.

You haven’t met his/her family

Meeting the parents is a big step in a relationship, so it’s not surprising that people typically wait a few months to introduce a new partner to their family. However, it should raise a red flag when you are more than a year into a relationship and have never met your partner’s relatives.
