40. Husband-Friend Fantasy
One woman admits that while she’s “engaging in some solo action”, she screams out someone else’s name. Even though she’s married, she finds herself fantasizing about her husband’s close friend, who is also married. She is unsure how her husband would react to her fantasy, we have to imagine it wouldn’t end well!
39. A Past Job
A woman finds herself dating a new partner who is “Christian and is quite conservative”, having held onto his own virginity for a while and having a traditional family. She can’t figur out how to spill the beans that she worked as a club dancer for a while. We have to agree when she says it would probably change his view of her.
38. Marrying for Money
A newlywed admits that she mainly married for financial security. Having been raised in poverty, she was attracted to him as he was “reasonably attractive witha job and his own home”. Luckily, the woman has since fallen in love with him as he is a “wonderful person” but it certainly didn’t start as love at first sight. She “married him because she was starving”.
37. His Crazy Mother
One lady admits that she “really, really dislike” her partner’s mother. It’s gotten so bad that she has considered leaving him just because of her fear of her one day being her mother-in-law. One day, after receiving permission from her man’s father to stay at their house, the dreaded mother-in-law actually asked her son over the phone “When will she leave? Why is she here?” to her face. We have to admit, she has reason to run.
36. Not Satisfied In Bed
Intimacy can be a hot topic for couples and not always in a good way. One poster admits that while she feels loved by her man in other ways “he never initiates making love”. She is starting to feel self conscious and unloved because it seems like he’s not physically attracted to her. What’s worse is that she feels manipulative and embarassed to even ask him to make love to her. Who wouldn’t?
35. Pass the Salt
One guy’s wife did her best after marriage to try and cook. “She had never been in the kitchen before we married”, and, apparently, things went from bad to worse once she tried cooking regularly. He attempted to help by getting her cooking magazines, telling her he loved all the dishes in there and how they were prepared, but, no luck. He’s a good sport though, saying “…it truly doesn’t matter because I love her, and I don’t wanna starve to death,”. Understandably, he still compliments her cooking but he says he “doesn’t love it for the taste, he loves it for her,”.
34. Spending Habits
One guy is reportedly “starting to hate (his) wife because every month she spends all of our hard-earned money on worthless crap”. He says it makes her “feel good” to spend on things she will only wear or use once. We understand his frustration. There’s a reason why finances are the leading cause of divorce and relationship splits!
33. To The Doghouse
One man was surprised to come home to a pet chihuahua which his wife got without consulting him. He was so enraged that he went so far as to pee all over the house and blame it on the dog in order to get rid of it. When that didn’t work and his wife remained committed to keeping up with the little dog’s nonsense, the man started “dropping #2s on the floor as well” out of pure desperation. Hilariously, now the man and his wife’s dogs are great friends. He reports it will remain a secret forever because his wife would be pissed if she found out.
32. The Backup Videos
A guy and his girlfriend got to chatting about sex tapes with exes, as your average couple does, and he admitted that he still had videos of him having sex with his ex. Of course, his girlfriend was enraged and forced him to delete the video from his computer while she watched. Little did she know, he has the videos stored on an external hard drive. Clever.
31. Children Are A Gift
One woman admits that having children has made her hate her husband. It’s not that he doesn’t provide for the family financiall but that he simply wants nothing to do with his own kids. When a husband “never cooks or helps around the house”, it can be quite frustrating. Apparently, when she requests help with cleaning or teeth brushing or diaper changing, he is “too busy playing online games”. Understandably, this wife is full of resent for her unhelpful husband. That’s a way to slowly kill a marriage!
30. That I Can See Ghosts
One poster admits that he pretended to see ghosts to freak out his paranoid girlfriend. Since she believed in ghosts, he says it wasn’t that hard. His goal is to persuade her to sleep elsewhere so he can get the bed to himself. He now fears that if he admits his scheme that he will think he’s a compulsive liar and leave him. We have to admit he’s probably right and she’d have every reason to leave him.
29. Religious Differences
Differences in religion can be a point of tension for couples, especially when it comes to relations with in-laws. On guy admits he has serious concerns about his differences in religious beliefs with his girlfriend. While he is an atheist, his girlfriend is a die-hard Christian, along with all of her family and friends. He feels it may be time to spill the beans on his beliefs (or lack thereof). We have to agree! Regardless of the outcome, honesty is the best policy.
28. Hated In-Laws
One girl admits just how much she hates her fiance’s family. Despite her attempts to make amends, his family despises her because he has decided to leave his family and marry her. The family went so far as to say they “would never attend their wedding” which would be devastating for her fiance but probably a relief for her. Her fiance must be completely oblivious and out of touch with reality because he hasn’t even noticed and she hasn’t figured out how to tell him how much she hates them.
27. Still Wed
All of us have, at times, failed to tie off loose ends from prior relationships. One girl hasn’t gotten divorced yet is pregnant with a boyfriend who wants to marry her soon. She apparently “left (her) husband four years ago in another state and wouldn’t know how to contact him if I wanted to,”. She says she’s not sure how to avoid the mess hitting the fan and we have to agree.
26. Weird Fetish
One guy still enjoys wearing diapers at age 27. It’s certainly a unique fetish and he is understandably concerned about how to share his fetish with his girlfriend. He thinks it might be enough for her to leave him. Although there may be other fetishes like the feet fetish. If you’re looking for sample pics of these then start by searching in your browsers “feet pics sell“.
25. One Night Stand with A Friend
One husband has a dirty little secret with a mutual female friend of his wife’s: they hooked up. While the other woman, who is now married, had not yet met her husband when they hooked up, nor was he with his wife at the time, it’s something neither of their spouses are aware of. The two apparently came to an agreement years later, as friends, to keep their one-night stand a secret. Good call.
24. Addiction
There are few things as destructive in a person’s life and in relationships as addiction. One guy, who has struggled with addiction to illegal meds and didn’t seek rehab in Nevada at Desert Hope Treatment for years, hasn’t told his girlfriend. He said that even on the first date, she asked specifically if he was sober. He lied and said he was clean. Probably not the best idea.
23. Webcam Girl
One girl went to desperate measures to pay the bills: she half-stripped on a webcam for money. She says she got over $100 in less than an hour and it paid for food that they otherwise couldn’t afford. The thing is, she never told her boyfriend. She feens “horrendous” about it and knows he would feel betrayed and “hate the fact that other men saw when only he should get to see”.
22. I’m Bisexual
On woman has failed to mention to her husband the truth about her sexual orientation. She recently has realized her sexual attraction to other females and can’t figure out how to tell her husband. Since she has been a Christian her whole life, along with her husband, it is especially difficult to be honest about her bisexuality. She is starting to feel that she needs to “get it out of her system” by exploring girl-on-girl action. What do you think?
21. The One That Got Away
One guy, now engaged to another woman, is juggling a close friendship with a previous love interest. You could say she was “the one that got away”. He says his fiance thinks she is just in love with him, which would be all he had wished for for years, but now things are impossible and weird. Impossibly weird. He says they have “never met, and never will” because a similar situation with the same long-time love interest has happened before and ended a previous relationship in flames. Yikes.
20. My Best Friend
One guy reports that he loves his girlfriend “immensely” but can’t get over a long-time friend who recently moved away. He says their “intimate chemistry” was great and they were “basically exact copies of each other”. The only think keeping him with his current girlfriend is how reliable and long-term she is. We have to agree, that is a tough call.
19. Carnivore Habits
One girl who is living with her significant other feels really guilty about still eating meat. Her man is a “super healthy crunchy yoga addict” who “basically lives off rice and beans”. She admits that she secretly orders pizza when he’s out of town and runs through drive thru’s on the sly and destroys all evidence. We have to say we’d do the same thing.
18. Can’t Get Over My Ex’s Scent
One guy admits that he can’t tell his girlfriend that he always gets the same perfume for her that his ex wore. He swears it’s not that he’s still in love with his ex, but that the scent is amazing. We agree, some things are better left unsaid.
17. Double Trouble
One girl keeps two long-term secrets from her man that all of us have probably been guilty of. She says that she tells him “I’m on my way” when she hasn’t even left the house, and is usually 1-2 hours late because of how long it takes her to get ready. Who hasn’t done that? But also, she has hidden dozens of his shirts he doesn’t like in the extra bedroom under the dresser. She says she’d feel bad throwing them out since they’re not hers but, considering they have been there over a year, she could probably get away with it.
16. I’m A Cat Person
One sensitive soul has an adorable secret from his wife: he secretly cares for a stray cat in the house. While she is away, he lets his pet in and takes care of it despite pets not being allowed in their lease. He hopes he can bring the cat with them when they move but, considering his wife isn’t a pet lover, he isn’t optimistic. He said that one day, when his wife came home earlier than expected, she found the cat up on the bed with him and she was livid. He lied and said he’s only done it once but he says it’s so sad and that he “kinda wishes (he) could give all of them a good home,”. How sweet, we’d let him keep stray cats!
15. Missing Single Life
One girl admits that while she’s “happily married” to her husband of five years, she secretly wants to be single again. She says she “craves the freedom” and that she “misses talking to other men and going on date” without responsibility and effort of marriage. She says she “adores her husband but also adore being left alone and not having to deal with his face”. She says he probably wouldn’t take it well and we have to agree. Let’s be honest, who hasn’t felt this way?
14. Still Attracted to Other Ladies
One guy says he can’t find it within himself to tell his wife that he “still sees other women and find them attractive and want to sleep with them”. Yeah, you better keep that one to yourself, friend.
13. Exes Conflict
One guy wrongly continued to text in a totally “inappropriate” manner to his ex girlfriend for months into a several-year relationship. One time, she asked him point-blank, baffled, that he had said things like he wishes they “were the only people on the planet”. Of course, he denied everything. He feels bad about it to this day.
12. Unsupportive
This guy is clearly underwhelmed by married life: he says he is “completely and utterly bored with my wife”. He says she is boring in bed and in life in general, and shuts down any attempts on his part to explore the world or get out of their hometown. Sadly, he says he will likely stay just because “it’d be more of a mess to get out of than it’s worth”. While not a horrible life, he says it’s not what he pictured for himself. If you’re reading this, Mr. Bored, you deserve the best! Don’t stay in something you’re not happy with just for the sake of saving face.
11. Public Embarassment
One girl is struggling with a boyfriend she truly loves but doesn’t know how to behave in public. She says he is “too touchy-feely and doesn’t know how to dress properly for anything more formal than Izzy’s”. One occassion involved him swearing in front of a group of children. Yikes.
10. Pretending to Work
One guy, wanting to protect his wife from stress and upset, lied about getting fired. He left his job in November and didn’t start another job until April, but simply left the house at the same time as work and acted like nothing had changed. This seems noble, except when one considers he kept them afloat by borrowing money from his mother. Yikes.
9. Thrown Out
One wife admits that she hid her husband’s favorite pair of pants behind the dryer to keep him from wearing them. We understand where she’s coming from, especially when the “favorite pants” are hideous 90s JNCO’s with “a million straps and buckles for no reason and huge bell bottoms”. Good for you, girl. She even pretended to help him find them!
8. Single Experience
One girl has struggled sharing the extent of her experiences while single with her now-boyfriend. After he freaked out by her sharing that she had a threesome and took anxiety medicine, she decided she could share no more. She says that if he knew about the “acid, the foursome, the illegal meds and all of the meaningless bed experiences” she’s had, he would definitely leave.
7. Self Harm
Another lady struggling to share her past with her significant other has a heartbreaking secret: she self-harmed a few years before meeting her now-boyfriend. She says he’s asked if she’s “fallen into a thorn bush” as a kid due to the faint scars on her arms and legs. She has just diverted the conversation and fears he would assume the worst about her if he knew the truth.
6. No Kids
One woman hates her mother-in-law so much that she refuses to have children because that would require more interaction with her. She says that she once tried to move into their home and that if that ever happened, the marriage would end. That doesn’t bode well for raising children.
5. Unmanagable Depression
One guy admits that he can hardly bear to be around his girlfriend since she’s sunk into depression. He lately will “dread coming home after work, or sitting at the dinner table, or dealing with her crankiness”. He understands how the depression has completely changed her and feels bad but he feels people underestimate how much it affects loved ones. He says he pretends to be happy and smiles and listens for her sake.
4. All My Exes…
One guy is having a hard time breaking the truth of his promiscuity to his very conservative girlfriend. While she is a virgin, he has lied that he only had one girlfriend and has only had sex once but he’s had numerous girlfriends and has slept around quite a bit. That’s a sticky situation.
3. Fear of Abandonment
One young man has serious paranoia about being abandoned by those he loves. He says it has caused many relationships to end in the past but he can’t help but “panic” every time his girlfriend doesn’t answer a call or doesn’t have time to hang out. He says he will always “assume that she’s dumped me for some unknown offense and is just waiting to have ‘the talk’,”.
2. Double Duty
One guy has the classic secret: two girlfriends. He has been dating them both for two months and truly love them both. He understands that what he’s doing “is even worse” than breaking up with either of them and breaking a heart, but he just can’t pick one. Oh boy.
-
Tourette’s
A mild case of Tourette’s Syndrome is a secret one guy has held from many of his closest friends. His girlfriend has noticed that his arms and legs twitch sometimes but she thinks he is just “jumpy”. He doesn’t know how to keep her while being completely honest. We’d hope she would love him just the same!
