People Tell Their Partners Everything But Will Never Tell These 56 Things

Her grandpa passed away and she still thinks she saw him last as he told her he loved her. Her whole family believes it. In reality I was the last one seeing him alive and hearing him talk as her mother forgot her purse in the room and I grabbed it for her. She will never know that his last words were never “ I love you” to her but a “take care” to me. I will take that to my grave.

That when he released his mother's ashes into a stream some of them stuck to his legs and ended up on the towel he dried off with. I had to scrub the towel and rinse the last remnants of his mother down the bathroom sink.

That the funny videos he finds on instagram and shows me is one that I’ve already seen before. I always act like it’s the first time I’ve seen it and laugh at it with him like it’s the funniest thing I’ve seen (90% of the time I’ve already seen it).

My husband installed a fan in our bathroom a few years ago and then we developed a mold problem. When the contractors came to fix the mold issue, they told me whoever installed the fan had done it backwards somehow so it was blowing air back into the bathroom, not sucking it out. I know he would beat himself up sooo badly over it so I’ll take it to my grave.

Sometimes when she's had a rough day, she'll rant/vent about work. About 60% of the time, I think she's the one who is being unreasonable; she has a very idealistic view of how things should work. Of course, I don't say that.

This is kind of a silly one but I went on a day trip out of state and accidentally locked my keys in the trunk of my car. Called my husband and he called aaa for me and then I waited for about an hour for them to get to me. AAA guy shows up, and starts pulling handles to the doors before attempting to use his tools. My back passenger door was never locked 🤣 I apologized over and over and the guy told me it actually happens all the time, that's why he always tried the doors first. It's been about a year since then and I'm sure my husband would think it's hilarious but I'd never be able to live it down so I'm taking it to my grave haha.

He didn't see our daughter's first steps. Those happened the weekend prior, when he was out of town, attending the memorial service for his best friend's dad. He felt guilty going (first time leaving us overnight since she was born).

When my husband asked me for examples of engagement rings I like, I also sent him a picture of a style that I do NOT like. He misread my text and designed a ring that exactly matches what I said I didn’t like. I’ll never say a word. I love it anyway 🥰.

My son lost my husband's Switch cartridge for Metroid prime. He was so upset he couldn't find it-not like it was a rare item, it just bugged the hell out of him and he was mad at my son for being careless. I bought a new copy in secret, and put the cartridge in an "unusual place for a cartridge but easy to spot" location so my husband and son could find it and he could rest easy. It isn't a huge thing but it's probably the only deception in our entire marriage and i know for those little things can bug you forever-it's worth 60 bucks or whatever for him to not stew about it at night hehe

I genuinely don’t believe in keeping secrets from my husband. However, his mom passed away at home on Mother’s Day in 2017. We knew she was end-stage cancer, and she had refused hospice completely. His dad got up at 6:30 a.m. that morning and she was still alive. She wanted some water so he gave her some. The problem was, her throat was already weakened and she was not able to swallow anymore. It may have been the neurological situation stopping it, too. Neurological shut down and muscle relaxation and failure are both completely common in end stage active dying.

Ultimately, the cancer is what the official cause that was listed on coroner report. But because of the “suspicious circumstances” it had to be treated a little more carefully. I was told directly from the coroner that it most likely suffocation from the water that was stuck in her throat, cutting off airflow so she was no longer able to breathe. Suffocation, rather than an actual cease of breathing or heartbeat.

My father-in-law hadn’t known that could be a thing, he’d give her a sip of water to help her be comfortable because she asked for it. Then he had walked away to go make coffee and go to the bathroom, and when he came back she was gone, so it makes absolute sense. Fortunately, after a conversation with me, the coroner did not feel like it needed police investigation.

I have never told any of them that conversation ever took place, and I never will. That’s just not something that needs to be said. It doesn’t change the fact that their mother/wife/grandmother had terminal cancer.

Chronic pain sufferer. I never tell him how much pain I'm really in all of the time. We've been together 17 years now, and Tues is our 8th wedding anniversary.

I'm always conscious of not putting to much on him, he loves to do things all the time, and sometimes i just need to sit.

That I absolutely hate his bucket hat and I think he looks ridiculous in it. He’s worn hats like that since before we met so I just decided it was a part of him long before we married. I’m still tempted to throw it away sometimes to see how long it takes him to replace it. 😂.

I have my own house cleaning supply stashed in my work car. She’s very environmental friendly (which is good) but she buys all this bulk refill cleaning stuff that honestly doesn’t clean and I hate it all and it’s super expensive. So when I clean when she’s gone I use my own stuff.

I slept with her twin sister when we were dating.

I will never tell her that her absolute favorite meal, the signature dish she has been cooking for us for years, is actually pretty bland and ordinary. She gets so genuinely excited to cook it for me, and seeing the joy on her face while she serves sit is honestly the best part of my week. The food itself might be a five out of ten, but the love behind it makes it a masterpiece.

When I first moved in with him, I found a bunch of his ex-gf clothes and shoes in the closet. I put everything in a plastic bag, along with the stupidest shirt of a half naked woman holding a beer, and took it to goodwill. This was the 90’s. Never told him. Years later, we saw someone wearing that same shirt and he said he used to have one but his ex threw it away because she hated it. Edited: they’d broken up 2 years before.

That I knew when he was going to propose. He still says, “you had no idea!” But I did know, and I knew what ring he bought me too. I’ll act like it was a surprise forever :).

I disagree with some of their Doctor Who opinions. it's not worth it, cos like? each to their own and i CAN see where they're coming from.

That i sometimes have a crush on someone. No need to tell him because I never act upon it and just wait until it's over. Secretly enjoy feeling butterflies in my stomach without endangering a 30 year relationship.

It makes me sad that my partner has enough anxiety and a low enough social battery that he doesn't usually join me for things like parties or weddings. I love him and I want him to be comfortable, but I get tired of answering "Where's your husband?!?" We've been married for almost 11 years and I'm really lucky that this (and my MIL) are my biggest complaints!
