People In Relationships Are Hiding These Massive Secrets From Their Partners, And It's Not What I Was Expecting
Some people believe that being in a relationship with someone doesn't mean you have to tell them everything. Well, apparently, when Reddit user u/bw162 asked: "What’s the biggest secret you have been hiding from your partner?" so many people opened up. Here are some of the top secrets below.
1."I have a box of little crochet critters in the garage that I make when I'm bored/in between clients. I let my fiancé know that if anyone at work would like one (she's a hospice nurse), she can just take them from the box, no questions asked. That's what I told her, anyway. The secret is that I purposefully make stuff for her to take. I even have a little spreadsheet, so I know what animals/colors are the most popular, and I make sure that there are always spares. Obviously, I don't know WHO they go to because of confidentiality, but I try to get as wide a range as I can."
2."We’ve been together for five years. We met at a football game. Our biggest thing in common is our love for 'our team.' Every Sunday for years, we get together to watch the games with her family. I’m not really into football. I was at the game where we met because someone bought tickets, and I was off so I've never really understood it so for YEARS. Anytime the family cheers, I just follow with cheers — and when they BOOOO, I do the same."
3."I'm gone once a month for a mysterious workshop that he's not allowed to ask about. What he doesn't know is that it's a workshop blacksmithing, and I'm currently making him a sword to propose to him with."
4."My husband can't whistle. He always tries, but he just can't get it. One day, while out hiking with our dogs, the dogs went too far ahead, so my husband tried to whistle for them. The first few attempts, nothing happened. So I whistled for them. Apparently, my husband was trying to whistle at the same time, and he heard my whistle and thought it was him. He was so proud! Just grinning from ear to ear. I didn't have the heart to tell him it was me, still don't. It was so cute to see how happy he was."
5."As someone who absolutely hated dancing and always declined invitations to go dancing, I've learned the basic steps of Bachata, which is her favorite dance. I'm not sure how long I'll keep it a secret. I'm just waiting for the right moment to reveal this surprise."
6."When he proposes to me, I have an engagement watch for him. My dad gave it to me a few months into dating him and said that I could do what I wanted with it. It’s been five years and all I need is a nice box and ribbon."
7."When she first made a TikTok account, she spent hours doing hair and makeup, recording different little dances, skits, etc. But they weren't really taking off at all, and I could tell she was a little down about it. When she was asleep, I went onto her account and spent about $300 (which isn't a small amount of money to me) to have her videos promoted and pushed to more people than they otherwise would. She woke up to thousands of followers, 10s of thousands of likes, and 100s of thousands of views. She was ecstatic but still had no idea. Worth every cent."
8."She farts in her sleep. LOUD."
"I farted, and my husband started laughing like a child. I woke up. He told me why he was laughing. I was tired, and now irritated that I got woken up. I look at him and was like, 'You woke me over this shit?' It didn't register what I said until he went into a howling fit and fell off the bed. 19 years later, he tells people my first fart knocked him out of bed."
9."It’s not really a secret anymore because I cracked up the last time I saw him do it, but when he used to make me Impossible burgers, he would use a meat thermometer to make sure that it was 'safe' to eat like a normal burger. It was so sweet that I didn’t want to tell him I could probably eat them raw if I wanted. They were also like chewing a brick. I love that man."
10."Our tenth anniversary is coming up in January; we got engaged ten years ago last week with a ring that looks nice but was the best I could afford at the time. We’re not wealthy (both educators), but we’ve moved up enough on our districts’ salary schedules and cleared out some bigger debts, so my tenth-anniversary gift is a new ring that’s about five times what the original cost (and looks it). Five months until I can show her."
11."I accidentally used their favorite mug for a month and didn’t confess."
12."That I've turned a closet in the hallway into a shoe closet because she has wanted one for a very long time. When she comes back home in a couple of days, I hope she loves it."
13."We both recently got into Magic the Gathering. For me, it was a return after 25 years of not playing, and she was new. We both were looking for a hobby to enjoy together to help us get our minds off of the devastating two years we’d just fought through. It was two years of cancer diagnosis, heartbreaking surgeries/doctor visits, and losing her two dogs (they were her children), all while trying to finish the last year of her PhD (in cancer research, of all things). Anyhow, the cataloging, sorting, playing, trading, and collecting seemed to put her in a quiet place where she could turn her thoughts to something else and just heal. She even played in her first tournament at Gencon."
"She jumped in with both feet, opening booster packs and finding cards with value seemed to light her up in a way I hadn’t seen since we started our war on cancer. The problem is, she never seemed to have the luck I did with finding chase rares, and with the latest set being totally her jam (small cute animals), she wants them all.
So, I ordered a bundle of collector boosters and the very expensive raised foil rabbit card she was looking for, cut open a booster, slid it in, and resealed it well enough so she wouldn’t notice.
Seeing her open that pack, hearing her voice shake in concert with her hands, and watching that fleeting panic that she’d damage the card transition to pure joy was incredible. I feel a twinge guilty about it, but I’ll take the secret with me to my grave. She thinks she got super lucky to find an incredibly rare card. It’s a small thing, but it meant the world to her."
14."That I know my husband eats meat despite his insistence that he’s vegetarian like me. I don’t care, but it’s cute that he doesn’t think I know! I’ve been a vegetarian for over 20 years, but one of his former coworkers told me he saw him eating pepperoni pizza. Ever since then, I've noticed small meat escapades, and it’s so adorable that I can’t even call him on it because it doesn’t matter to me, but I know he would be embarrassed, lol."
15."When she watches those dumb Hallmark movies that I hate, I sometimes pretend that I’m engrossed in whatever game I’m playing or whatever task I’m doing, but I’m actually caught up in what’s going on in the stupid movie. And let me be clear: They’re stupid and boring, and I hate them!"
