What's a secret that you're keeping from your partner/significant other that you're taking to the grave with you?
What's a secret that you're keeping from your partner/significant other that you're taking to the grave with you?
It doesn't have to be anything bad btw
My wife and I were (emphasis on WERE) raised in very religious circles and as such we were "saving ourselves" for marriage at the beginning of our relationship. I was already drifting away from the religious world and thought this practice was dumb but loved her enough for innumerable other reasons that I would go through basically whatever to wait for her.
4 years into our 7 year dating relationship I was very stupid and ended up having a drunken three way with two of her best friends in a public park. Long story. My S.O. never found out from any of us.
One of the women contacted me nearly a decade later drunk and crying in order to confess that she had gotten pregnant from the encounter and had gotten an abortion with her parents help but never told anyone else.
My wife and I dated for 7 years and have been married for just short of 9 years. I moved us to the other side of the country for work to limit the possible interactions with her former friends, and encouraged her in many ways to have as large a friend group as possible in our new life to curtail the desire to reach out to our old group. New address and new phone numbers to make it more difficult for people to find us out of the blue. This will never see the light of day in our relationship.
I love my wife to the ends of the earth and back, this is the one thing (other than the consistency of my bowel movements) I will ever keep from her.
Edit: Spelling
That's it, folks. Pack it up, thread's closed. This guy wins.
For fucks sake, man. 😐
Holy shit
I’m not sure you understand the term “take it to the grave”.
This, every once in a while I consider sharing with my closest friend... And then nah
Don't answer, the OP is a demon looking for a reason to kill you.
My secret is that I know I'm actually the only real human, and everybody else are aliens posing as humans to study my behavior. That's why I purposefully make random decisions and actions from time to time, to throw them off.
I still have to figure out if I'm the last human alive, if every remaining human is being studied like me, or if there is a real human society somewhere.

It's working... we've successfully tricked him into thinking he has free will.
Woooo I am gonna lay my eggs in your stomach woooo 🛸
Reminds me so much of a particular Philip K. Dick story. A solider's tour in Korea is over and returning home he notices that everything is fake. Artificial sweetener, instant coffee, faux leather shoes, hair styles, etc. He gets the idea that the aliens took over the US and setup a few fake burbs for the soldiers returning home, to isolate them and eventually pick them off one by one.
How much my flute cost. (It's from my fun money, and a bargain for what it is, but still.)
You don’t want to flaunt flute failings
The complete past-lovers list. (not a cheat/just needless drama)
The... The what now?
When she snores I pinch her nose shut until she stops.
Snoring is often a sign of sleep apnea, which is easily treatable. Your wife should take a sleep test to see if she has it. Can take years off your life if left undiagnosed.
For her it’s usually a sign that she had 3 or 4 too many white claws before she went to bed.
So can stopping her breathing.
Your wife must be a deep sleeper. Mine would be awake in an instant.
You could try to fix this from a very different angle by buying those strips for the nose against snoring. Those strips can temporarily unobstruct the air flow in the nose.
Oh that I tell her in the morning
Ha, nice try ComfyMuffin
LOLLL
I shat myself in 2018
It wasn't an accident.
I hate quiche. She thought I love quiche and was so proud of herself every time she would make it. Never told her otherwise.
Nice try Susan! You're not going to get me to confess THAT easily.
By the way, child support may be a little late this moth ...
I'll see you at Christmas dinner
If you hold secrets and do not tell the whole thing (even the most disgusting stuff) to your SO... then it means that s/he is not that "special" anymore.
I mean, a relationship is never meant to be one-sided, but a "You and me" thing. And if you don't think like that, then you are doing it wrong.
"So you are telling me to just throw random disgusting stuff to my SO?"
No. Call him/her in particular, "Hey can we talk a bit?". It does wonders, that is all I can say about it.
t. Used to "play the tough guy" back in my early years. Took the "My life is an open book" route. Never looked back since then.
No, there is something called discretion. I don't for example have to tell my wife what I think of her father. She loves him, my kids love him, I think he is a great father-in-law there is zero need for me to comment on his body odor issues to her.
there is something called discretion.
...and I said to call (whoever is troubling you) in particular and bring the issue up = discretion. And using your words well, you can even talk about someone's lack of hygiene/odor.
