25 Secrets People Hope Their Significant Others Don’t Find Out

Don’t worry, this won’t simply be a deluge of cheating stories to serve as a little black book full of the extramarital adventures of Reddit’s unfaithful. I guess that could also be a disappointment, if you’re one of those people who thrives on others’ personal misfortune. Nowadays, this is usually called “loving drama,” though I prefer a more disapproving descriptor, like “inveterate ghoul.”

What I do have for you, harvested from an AskReddit thread, is a sampling of things that people have kept secret from their significant other, whether out of shame, sweet intentions or just being way too deep on a stupid lie to go back now. Things like suffering through innumerable pepperoni pizzas because you didn’t want to complicate an order on your first date. 

Read on for a surprisingly reassuring peek into some people’s closet bone piles.

veridianbunny 8mo ago When he is traveling and calls home, he asks to talk to our cats via speakerphone. I always tell him they are perked up and around the phone when he is talking but the truth is they don't care. It makes him feel loved and missed, but also cats can be assholes. They do rush him when he is home which is so sweet.
Possible-Series6254 . 8mo ago I have been pretending to not like pickles and olives for years. Once I offered her mine off a sandwich because I was full, and it made her so happy that now it's policy.
steampunk_garage 8mo ago I asked this guy out for months and he always turned me down. At our local theater the first showing of the day is five dollars, so when it came out I went and saw the Friday the 13th movie (the one with Jared Padalecki that morning) and hated it. Fast forward to later that afternoon, and the guy I've been asking out all that time finally asked me out to go see this movie. I (of course) say yes and tell him I've been looking forward to it and then I pretended to act scared grabbing
CapitalFoot8964 . 8mo ago I don't like the music he listens to, he thinks I love it and we've been together for over a decade.
FrankSonata . 8mo ago Sometimes I eavesdrop on him talking to the cats. It makes me happy to hear him so earnestly telling them how gorgeous and handsome they are. No-one else is there, and the cats can't understand him because they're dumb as fuck, but he just wants to say it anyway.
Sashaprettyy . 8mo ago that I once pretended to be speaking on the phone with people. All I wanted was for him to think I was popular and that | had more friends than I actually had.
SaltyGrapefruits . 8mo ago When we visit a new city together, I Google the best restaurants and make sure we are close by when he gets hungry. That way he always thinks he has an instinct and stumbles upon the most authentic and local cuisine. Kept a secret for six years and plan to do the same in the future.
Artistic_Purpose1225 . 8mo ago That I always offer to watch pots on his supper days because he cooks pasta until it's an over cooked mush that's barely keeping shape, not because I want to let him relax after work.
DenormalHuman 8mo ago for once in my life I told someone everything. Even the stuff I was sure any 99% of people would leave me for. Instead, it opened up a whole new world , and we're still going strong, and I am a very happy man. Lucked out on the 1% I guess:)
Gannondorfs_Medulla . 8mo ago My partner told me she had killed a chicken for food when she was younger. Ten years into the relationship she came to me and confessed she never killed a chicken and just wanted to impress me. It's something we giggle about occasionally.
50DuckSizedHorses 8mo ago I pretend to like hiking. I am generally into more adrenaline sports, and love living the outdoor lifestyle, but tbh hiking is just walking with uglier shoes and it's boring AF.
Kittenknickers333 8mo ago We don't always want to eat the same foods. I LOVE fried chicken and crave it often. Не hates it in anything other than sandwich form and will not eat the chicken sandwhiches from my favorite chicken places. Sometimes, when I am out by myself, I stop at my favorite chicken joint and eat in the car. This is a secret. Not because he would be mad, he wouldn't care, but because he would decide to have a bag of chips and a diet coke for lunch when we usually make sandwiches together. I notice that if
NanoLopez 8mo ago The day we met he had so many impressive travel stories that | told a story about going to Europe, which initially my friend told me. I never went there. We're going there next month and I have no clue what Europe's like. I'm watching Youtube videos on how it's like, because I'm already way too deep into this. I'm planning on telling him when we get back
 8mo ago It was a secret until recently. I never told him who my long term ex was because I was embarrassed that I even dated that guy. My partner knows him as we all worked together at one point and they used to hang out quite a bit. I recently told him because the ex contacted me and | didn't feel comfortable keeping it from him. Не was amazing about it, he was proud of the way | dealt with things and yeah looking back now it wasn't really a big deal since they're not really friends or
headhunterofhell2 8mo ago Disclaimer: Military I've killed a lot of people. She knows I'm former military, was in when we met. She knows I've been deployed. She knows I have PTSD, and that I was blown up. But she is quite firmly under the impression that my job, being primarily computers, means that I never had to pull the trigger. She thinks that I am on the couch every morning because she snores (which she does); when it's because I can't sleep for more than 20 min at a time.
Hot_Technician_3045 . 8mo ago Most times when I'm commuting home and we talk on the phone, I lie and say I'm going to get home later than I am. Sometimes I'll stop and get stuff for dinner or get her a treat (she's pregnant) or just get home early and she's extra happy.
 . 8mo ago I got a life insurance policy on myself with her being the beneficiary. When I'm gone she's getting a fat check of a couple million. She knows I have a policy, just not the amount.
Dinan328i . 8mo ago Not huge but out wedding date is the same date as my long term exs bday. Some friends raised some eye brows but it truly ended but being the best day for us to have it.
Mariaaaliaa . 8mo ago oh i once ate the last slice of pizza and blamed it on the dog lol
Professional_Gas4861 . 8mo ago I meant what I said when I said I could theoretically live without her, but my existence would be meaningless and stupid. She thinks it's just a thing I said to be sweet.
archertom89 8mo ago | lied about the age and way i i lost my virginity. | told her i i lost it when i was 23 in the airforce to a girl who lived in my dorm building. The real story is i lost i it to a legal prostitute at a brothel in nevada when i was 27.
Lubricated Sorlock . 8mo ago She thinks the birthmark on her back looks like a state and it doesn't. 18 ...
savershin 8mo ago I've been together with my wife for almost 20 years now. She's my soul mate, we love and respect each other. We've built an amazing live, have a beautiful daughter, and another one on the way. I like big butts, she does not have a big butt.
8mo ago FluffyLlamaPants Не thinks the visible rock and fossil collection is all there is. Не doesn't know about the tubs and boxes under my bed. In the garage. And in the craft boxes. Не is basically dating a rock collecting troll. A troll who eats in bed all the time. I know it's not good. | can't stop.
CoverYourSafeHand 8mo ago My wife and I met at a Christmas lights show about 10 years ago. I mentioned to her that Charlie Brown Christmas was one of my favorite Christmas movies. She asked who my favorite Charlie Brown character was, I told her Snoopy. I've been receiving Snoopy themed gifts for years now. I appreciate the thoughtfulness of the gift, but I have no clue how she took that first conversation as me being a Snoopy super fan. I love her deeply and I think it would just hurt her feelings if I told her so I just smile
