19 men share the biggest secrets they're keeping from their significant others.

In one of the top threads on Reddit, a user asked what's the one secret you're keeping from your SO that would end the relationship. People responded, and most of the answers aren't really relationship ending (we assume), but there are really interest things here that we can relate to.

Some are heartwarming, some are harmless and some are sad, but they give us insight into how people handle their love lives.

I don't like her mother, to me, she's a bad person, who tries to see the bad in the others, and who sees people who work as 'service' (retail, etc) as below her. I've yet to hear her say something nice about someone who isn't herself.

2. failte44 says:

The reason we are together today is because I called to reconnect a couple years after we broke up….I thought I was calling someone else.

3. Silent_Bob_82 says:

Our extremely high maintenance child has crippled our relationship. I really think we are both thinking this but don’t say it.

4. Nix-geek says:

If I were to be absolutely honest, it would be the depth of my depression. My wife is great, but I don't think she can handle this.

She doens't know that I spent months late last year and into this one crying every single day. I would find a few minutes to myself in the shower, in the bathroom, or just a few moments at work and I'd just tihnk about how hopeless things were and how unhappy I was.

I keep fighting the depression and most days are better than bad, but the bad days are soul crushing. I keep putting up a happy face because of our kids, but I'm afraid that this is going to crash me someday.

Sometimes I watch shows we're watching together without her because she is super extroverted and wants to talk to me during. It usually starts as us discussing plot details and always ends up evolving into her trying to give an entire ted talk.

I enjoy having short exchanges of thoughts about the plot but I prefer to watch and enjoy the story and then discuss it after. We've talked about it and she understands how I feel but inevitably ends up doing it again. She would be upset if she found out but it allows both of us to enjoy the show the way we both want to.

I let the dogs in the room they aren’t allowed sometimes.

7. SwoleBeard92 says:

Sometimes I go to the movies with out my wife because I’m a huge movie buff and fan of the theater experience. and she can’t stand still for the movie long enough to pay attention. I get the big popcorn tub and soda with ice cream to top it off.

8. ducks4jokera says:

I am a FAR better cook than her, but I just tell her that her cooking is better so she feels good about herself.

9. serveyer says:

Me and the kids have a more pleasant weekend when she goes away. It’s like a blanket of calm envelopes us and we have a great time. She knows it but she doesn’t KNOW It.

We miss her and all but when she comes home it’s like the kids start to argue with each other and the baby cries a little bit more. I get a little bit annoyed. I hide it though but you know. We had a lovely weekend and it’s over.

10. KowalakiIAm says:

She was the first person I ever slept with. Potentially wouldn't end the relationship on its own but it would bring up a lot of other awkward questions about other things I lied about when we first got together.

11. sc0n3z says:

She has certain food allergies. Sometimes I'll run out to the store to get something to use while making dinner. I'll drive thru somewhere she can't eat and I'll eat whatever it is on my way home.

12. hBuckleThis says:

How much money I spent restoring my 69 Camaro. She knows it was a lot, but has no idea how much. To be fair, majority of it was paid for with cash I had before we were married, but it’s a lot.

13. WonderfulTitle8092 says:

Grocery store - sometimes I will intentionally forget an item that we need the next day . Like bananas.

The only reason, I like to go for drives after dark by myself. Listen to old school Eminem. Walk around an empty grocery store.

It's my secret me time. She doesn't know how to have a me time. She just wants to always be with the kids and I. I respect that and love her for it.

14. Normbot13 says:

that i know shes not over her ex

15. mcshaggy says:

The actual answer any time she asks the question, 'What are you thinking about?'

16. dirtyhippie62 says:

Every time we’re having dinner and they get up to go to the bathroom, I steal a bite of food off their plate. Pretty much every time. And they know my username so.. babe if you ever see this, please forgive me. I love you so much.

17. couchguitar says:

When she's out of town, I let our Bernese Mountain Dog jump on her side of the bed and we eat popcorn together while watching old 80's classic like Turner and Hooch.

He's not supposed to be on the bed, I'm not supposed to eat in bed. We are rebels.

18. Parking-Nebula6991 says:

I won the lottery 5 years ago and took the monthly sum which auto drafts into a separate account. Whenever we need to make big purchases, I tell her I’m just taking out a loan.

I’m afraid if I tell her how much I won, it will destroy our marriage and I fear for the safety of our children if her family finds out I’m wealthy.

19. hfusidsnak says:

My net worth. Relationships can be risky when you’re trying to protect a large amount of money. I drive a Tacoma and live in a little two bedroom home and don’t spend much because I don’t really want much. I like to work and I like a simple life. I want to find a woman who feels the same way.

Telling someone you’re dating that you have the means to change their lives changes how they see you, you’re not a prospective partner anymore, you’re a meal ticket. I realized this after my college girlfriend and I broke up after way too long unhappy together.

She finally admitted that she didn’t want to leave because I could give her a life she could never afford herself. Ever since then I keep it hidden, I want it to be a great surprise to my future wife, not a carrot on a stick.
