Being in a relationship is all about being honest, yet sometimes partners keep secrets from each other. In some cases, it’s because they’ve done something they’re ashamed of, but these people have proven to us that that isn’t always the case. We’ve compiled a list of “secrets” posted by partners that are so wholesome that we couldn’t help but share them with the internet.
It Wasn’t the Cat
Even as adults, we sometimes like to play pretend. Maybe we just watched a really good movie or read a good book and want to act out an epic fight. Or maybe we’re just being goofy.
It’s probably safer to let the cat take the blame on this one. Although, maybe if they had told the truth, their partner would have decided that sounded fun and played with them, making for an epic afternoon.
It Did Happen to Her
There are a lot of ugly sides to pregnancy and giving birth that people just don’t talk about because they’re embarrassing. One of them is that the extreme pushing and other facts present during birth may cause women to do a number two.
This is one of those secrets that is definitely worth keeping. She was already in so much pain and discomfort, so there’s no need to add that knowledge to the mix. This partner made the right decision.
Signing in Secret
Those who are deaf or have hearing problems are often able to read lips pretty well, but they may also speak some form of sign language. That was the case for this person’s girlfriend, and what he’s done since meeting her has melted our cold hearts.
Learning ASL after one date is a huge commitment, but it’s obviously paid off. We desperately need an update on these two. Did he propose? Did it go well? We have so many questions.
That’s Not Their Real Cup
When it comes to presents, personalized gifts are more meaningful than others. It shows that you put some effort into making the gift special, and these gifts become very sentimental for the receiver. So what happens if your partner destroys it?
It’s really sweet that they would go through all of this effort, but after breaking the cup once, wouldn’t they have just stopped using the cup? Breaking it three times is ridiculous! Has the partner ever noticed it keeps changing?
They’ve Already Rolled Three Times
There’s always that one member of the family who tries to cheat at board games. Some families are cool with this, but for others, it drives them crazy that this person never actually plays fair. So, what if that person is your partner?
She either pays no attention whatsoever when playing board games, or she knows that her partner is doing this and is using it to her advantage. As long as they’re both okay with it, then carry on!
They Had an Ulterior Motive
We will do anything to be around someone we have a crush on. We’ll visit the coffee shop they work at a little more often, frequent restaurants we wouldn’t go to, or in this case, take a lot of trips to the aquarium.
On one hand, this seems really sweet and it obviously worked, or she wouldn’t be their girlfriend. On the other hand, this feels like low-key stalking and we feel bad for their nieces!
They’re a Streamer Wannabe
Streaming has blown up over the last few years. People stream themselves playing video games, cooking, or even reactions to other videos or other streams. Many love streamers and fantasize about what it would be like to be one, like this guy.
Unless his wife hates him playing video games, she would probably find his habit endearing and entertaining. Plus anyone who’s a fan of The Office would appreciate the looks at a fake camera.
Their Best Friend’s a Badger
When you own a house, odds are a wild animal or two is going to end up in your yard at some point. Be it foxes, birds, raccoons, or even badgers, some people end up feeding these animals.
We would highly recommend that this person tell their partner about this, because while it’s sweet, what happens if the partner goes outside in the morning and finds the badger? They would probably freak out and call animal control, and there goes their best friend!
More Attractive Than Ever Before
All relationships go through cycles. They have rough patches, where perhaps the partners aren’t connecting as well, whether physically or emotionally – or where they’re bickering more than usual. But, they have upswings as well.
Maybe seeing their partner go through pregnancy and having their child made them realize how powerful she is. She’s responsible for growing the little being who started their family, and maybe that makes her even more beautiful.
It’s Not the Same Ice Cream
We all binge from time to time, and if you read this and thought, “I don’t,” you’re a dirty liar. Sometimes, you just can’t help but eat the whole pack of Oreos or have one too many glasses of Coca-Cola.
This is so innocent but also so weird. Why wouldn’t they just say, “Hey honey, I had a bit of a binge and ate too much ice cream”? They definitely weren’t thinking rationally when all of this was going on.
Cooking Is Bland at Best
Professional chefs must feel weird eating other people’s cooking. They develop very specific tastes, so anything less than their own skill level must seem mediocre. This secret inspires mixed feelings.
It’s really sweet that this partner wants to encourage their wife and make them feel good, but at the same time, they could probably find a way to give her some cooking tips without seeming like they’re criticizing her. It’s literally their job, after all!
They Search Out Train Depots
Whether it’s planes, trains, or automobiles, machines can be super fascinating. Spotting and studying them becomes a hobby for some, like this person’s husband, causing them to do the sweetest thing to fuel their passion.
Going out of your way to make your partner happy is such a blessing in a relationship. This person probably couldn’t care less about trains, but they do it because it doesn’t take much more time and it makes their husband happy. That’s the definition of wholesome.
