**Married People Reveal The Secrets They’re “Taking To The Grave” Before Ever Telling Their Spouse, And My Jaw Is On The Floor**

*”Now I’m stuck in a marriage where I don’t like the sex and don’t feel loved, all because I didn’t want to be alone.”*

A while back, we shared secrets that people would rather take to the grave than ever tell their spouse. Following that, many readers decided to open up and share their own private confessions. Here are some of those responses — some from a popular Reddit thread, because they’re just too good not to share.

“Sometimes, when my husband makes me upset, or is being moody, I will drop his food ‘accidentally’ on the floor before serving it to him. I also do this if I’m BBQing and it falls in the dirt. It makes me laugh, especially if the floor hasn’t been cleaned.”

“I have my own Amazon Prime account. He doesn’t need to know what I’m buying with my own money.”
—Anonymous

“We’ve been married 30 years. I have a crush on his younger brother. I’d never act on it, but I’m certainly never mentioning it!”
—Anonymous, 50, Florida

“My wife’s makeup looked terrible on our wedding day.”

“My wife will occasionally indulge my fetish, and I appreciate it when she does, though it’s not as often as I would like. If I remember these incidents, or fantasize about future escapades, I sneeze—to the point that I can almost sneeze on command by simply fantasizing. The reason I don’t share this is that I still sneeze for the usual reasons (dust, spices, hay fever, etc.). I don’t want her to think that if I’m sneezing, it’s because I’m just a perverted horndog. Sometimes I just sneeze.”

“One time, my husband went out and purchased some new clothes that he needed. Over the next month, he kept acting suspicious and became stingy, not wanting me to spend money on myself or the kids. I got so fed up that I took about half of his new clothes and burned them. It was very hard because clothes are difficult to catch fire, but in the end, all that was left were buttons and zippers. I waited about two months and burned the rest. He still asks, two years later, ‘Do you know what happened to this?’ I just say no. I mean, I haven’t.”
—Anonymous, 49, California

“I’d leave my husband in a heartbeat if his best friend ever woke up and realized he wanted me. I wanted to marry him from the start, but he was too preoccupied with someone else for years. I dated my husband just because he wanted me and wasn’t a bad guy. Now I’m stuck in a marriage where I don’t like the sex and don’t feel loved—all because I didn’t want to be alone.”
—Anonymous, 25, Florida

“When I was 14, my grandma passed away. For years, I had been pestering my parents for a gold necklace of my own. Gram had some money, and in her will, she gave me $300 for a gold necklace. It was my pride and joy. I had it around my neck for 17 years before I met my wife—off my neck maybe three times in all that time. My wife (then-girlfriend) knew how much it meant to me and asked to wear it once. Well, it never came home. She must have lost it or it was stolen. I was distraught for days, and we turned the house upside down looking for it. Eventually, I gave up, but she was bothered by the whole situation. So, I went to a pawn shop, bought the closest replica I could find, and told her I found the necklace in the couch cushions. To this day, she thinks it’s the original, but it’s actually version two.”

“He’s not a coffee drinker, and when I went to Starbucks, I got him a hot cocoa with a shot of espresso. He drank it and never had a clue.”
—Anonymous

“Whenever she’s not home, I let the dog onto the bed and take a really comfy nap. I set an alarm for an hour, kick the dog out, and clean the fur off before she gets back. I’ve been doing this for nearly three years now.”

“I am the one placing the googly eyes on everything in our house, not our six-year-old.”
—WhispersOfPorcelain

### 12.
“I will listen to a song 10 times in a row because I need to focus on all the instruments and melodies separately before moving on to the next song.”
—Virtual-Beach305

### 13.
“When we were deciding whether or not to circumcise our newborn, my husband half-joked that he’d teach our son how to properly ‘clean under the hood’ when old enough. Over the years, he’s mentioned his own thorough hygiene routine a few times. Now, we’re getting a divorce, and there’s a reason his name is ‘fish d*ck’ in my phone. I may hate him a little, but I’ll never admit that the smelly weiner caused my decision.”
—Anonymous, 38, Oklahoma City

### 14.
“Sometimes I just sit in my car outside work or our apartment for 20-30 minutes because I need some time alone. My mind is full to the brim at work, and I rarely get time alone at home. Sometimes I just need it to be quiet with nothing to pay attention to!”
—CocktailOnion

“My wife pooped while delivering our son—something she was terrified of doing. The nurse cleaned up quickly and gave me a look that needed no explanation. I never said a word. She spoke afterward about how relieved she was it hadn’t happened to her. I’ll let her keep that peace of mind for life.”
—falllikeweather

### 16.
“When I play video games and my wife isn’t around, I narrate what I do and respond to fake questions from a non-existent chat like I’m some kind of big shot streamer. I even look at a fake camera when something happens.”
—Nightmare2828

### 17.
“Our cat didn’t break the towel rack—I did. I was pretending to fight zombies, grabbed it, and ripped the thing off the wall. I heard my wife coming, looked down at my cat, and when she came into the bathroom, I asked the cat, ‘Why did you think the towel rack could hold your weight? You silly cat!’”

“Last night you made fried rice with shrimp. I ate the whole bowl even though it tasted nasty. God, it was awful.”
—Sturm2k

“That time I asked if I could have the last cookie, I implied there was only one left when there were actually two. I wanted both and didn’t want to share. They were delicious and I have no regrets.”
