Who knows a guy better - his friend, his mom or his wife?

mykmari-08 well usually a mom knows her own son better than most people but because my hubby and I were best friends first I got to know sides of him his mom did not know, he confided in me and I in him and he knew his secrets were safe with me and vice versa.His own mom thought he was gay and he was anything butgay and it was sad that he had to persuade her that he was heterosexual.but once we had two children she was convinced lol lol.

i would say it is the wife. the mother remains close to a guy for say 30-40 years but the wife is much more. and with the changing worlds, it is very difficult to get a good friend. and all the more difficult to rely on them.

LOL Well first of all Mom's know a lot more about their kids and sons that most of them think they do and there are a few things they may not know or may not let you know they know ever or for a very long time. So Mom's do know their sons usually pretty well. Friends would have to be long time to really know someone and people often do have close best friend they confide their deepest secrets and desires to. As to wives, the longer your married and the longer you grow away from the parental home and are with your wife the more she will get to know you. Even things your mom and best friend did not know and may never know. However this takes time and commitment. So the longer a marriage lasts the more a wife gets to know her husband. A Mother will always know certain facial expressions, body signs and tones but there are even subtler things a wife picks up on because a wife becomes more intimate with her man than the mother was over time.

I reveal and show my true self to anyone who does the same to me. You must always try to be who you are, because being someone else only shows that you aren't comfortable being who you are. Even if you just act like a different person sometimes, it still shows that you aren't comfortable with being who you are at the moment, and that can be understandable, but the important thing is to alway be real. Cool discussion. :)

I think with my husband, I know more of who he is. We are best friends so this helps us both know what the other wants or needs. Even though we are close, I know he has his secrets, as do I. Everyone needs some me space. As for his mother and friends, I think they may know him in a different way than I do but this isn't because he is lying to one of us. I think people give different pieces of themselves to different people because they may be able to connect better with that person on that different level.

I seriously doubt there is one single person who necessarily knows the guy best. Everyone probably sees a piece of him--perhaps the piece that he wants them to see. It's only when you put all the pieces together that you get the real image of the guy.

One can know another person to a certain extent only.A person always has some secrets to himself.

I think different people see different sides, I know my mother knew a different side of me to what my friends saw, I think we all projuect different things to different people, we what to please people and only project to them what one thinks plwases them, I am a female but i would imagine men are the same....

It shold be his wife. If you talk to someone in a great marriage they will tell you that their significant other is their best friend and that they can tell them everything about themselves. I know that us moms would like to think that we are really close to our kids. But lets face it their are certain things that sons just don't talk to their moms about. and when it comes to friends they are trying to be the tough guy or maybe show off a bit. where with their wife they feel comfortable enough to just be themselves.

I know my husband well enough! We've been married for 23 long years and those years are enough for me to know him fully well. I believe I even know him more than her mother does because he can confide to me what he can't tell to his mother and I'm with him all through the years so I already have mastered every details of his personality.

I would have to say is friends.. The guys alway tells his friends more that than what they tell his wife and friends..

I guess his friend knows him more for the following reasons: His mom doesn't know him well cause since his teenage, he communicate less and less with his mom. His girl, though would be the one he loves most to stay with, but a guy, won't tell his secret or complaints to her cause he is a man ! What's more, girls see things always in different ways from boys. While, his friends, since similar age, i mean boy friends, they are all boys, sharing common problems. sometimes they don't need to mention a word and they can understand each other.

Well, I think friends know a guy better than anyone else! The guy will not open up to his mum much and definately hide stuff from his wife!

be it a boy or a girl.. i think that friends know them better. or otherwise i would say that , a mom would know a guy better.

The one who knows me really well is my sister. She's very intelligent and she grew up with me. Not many people know me well and those who do don't know much more than the others. What I find amazing is that I never concealed myself from anyone. I think most people are just not interested.

Erm... No one can say he/she very understand and know someone else very well. The person who can very understand and know well is our own. I feel that guys do not like to tell their problem to girls.

I think everybody know a bit of us, our friend would know certain things that mom and wife wouldn't know, mom would know our true nature, wife would know something that mom and friends would'nt know. We can be best of friends but we would not like to spend the rest of our lives together. The basic thing is that each of them know only what they require to know, ofcourse mom's at times can know a bit more about you without you telling them!!

I always think a mother will always know well about her son. For instance,my boyfriend,there are many things I don't know about him. Sometimes he says his mother always nag at him for having certain bad habits and so forth. At first, I believed his words, I thought his mother is a strict woman. But after I had met up with his mother, I could understand even better about my boyfriend and his true self. I think mother is the only person that always know best about her son.

I think my friends know me better if i were a guy. Guys are always not easy to bare their true feelings to their parents or wifves because guys do not want them to worry about him.Guys always think they can handle the complicated things even if they don't tell their families.But friends are whom guys are willing to tell and they are all willing to listen to.Between the true friends,i think there are no secrets between guys.

different people see different sides of the person. for me, only the guy himself knows himself well. there are things revealed to friends, attitudes known to their moms but not known to other people. it is hard to know other people, it takes a lot of time spent together and different situations to arise before one will truly know what kind of person one is.
