15 Shocking Secrets People Are Hiding From Their Partners – And You Won’t Believe #9!
Ever wonder what secrets people keep in relationships? You’re not alone. When Reddit user u/bw162 posed the question, “What’s the biggest secret you’ve been hiding from your partner?” responses poured in. And some of them are downright jaw-dropping. Spoiler alert: It’s not what you think! Dive into this list and prepare to be surprised by these heartfelt, hilarious, and downright mysterious confessions.
1. The Secret Crocheter
“I have a box of little crochet critters in the garage that I make when I’m bored or between clients. I told my fiancé that if anyone at her work (she’s a hospice nurse) wants one, she can just take them from the box, no questions asked. What I didn’t mention? I actually make those just for her. I even keep a spreadsheet to know which animals and colors are the most popular!” – u/CrazySnekGirl
Why keep it a secret? Because sometimes the best gifts are the ones that come from the heart, even when no one knows.
2. The Football Faker
“We’ve been together for five years, and every Sunday, we watch football with her family. But here’s the thing: I’m not actually into football. I only went to the game where we met because a friend had an extra ticket. For years, I’ve been pretending—cheering when they cheer, booing when they boo—just to keep up appearances.” – u/Both-Outcome1586
What’s the takeaway? Sometimes love means pretending to enjoy something you secretly don’t. (But seriously, how long can they keep this up?)
3. The Sword-Making Surprise
“Every month, I disappear for a mysterious ‘workshop’ my partner isn’t allowed to ask about. The truth? I’ve been secretly learning blacksmithing to make a sword that I’m planning to propose with.” – u/TsundereKitty
Plot twist: Talk about taking “sweeping them off their feet” to the next level!
4. The Whistle Secret
“My husband can’t whistle. On a hike, he tried calling the dogs but couldn’t make a sound, so I whistled. He thought it was him! He was so proud that I couldn’t tell him the truth. I still haven’t.” – u/ImposterJ
Why keep quiet? Sometimes, a little white lie keeps the magic alive.
5. The Hidden Dance Moves
“I’ve always refused to dance, claiming I hated it. But secretly, I’ve been learning Bachata—her favorite dance style. I’m waiting for the right moment to surprise her.” – u/IxdrowZeexI
What’s the lesson here? Surprises can be the best kind of romance. Just imagine the look on her face when he finally breaks out those moves!
6. The Engagement Watch Plan
“When he proposes, I have a watch for him that my dad gave me. I’ve kept it hidden for five years. All I need now is a nice box and ribbon.” – u/Shams_the_only
Why the secrecy? Because sometimes, the best gifts are worth the wait.
7. The TikTok Boost
“She started a TikTok but wasn’t getting the traction she hoped for. So, one night, I spent $300 to promote her videos while she was asleep. The next morning, she woke up to thousands of new followers and likes. She was ecstatic, and I haven’t told her it was me.” – u/SlimShadyM80
Worth every penny? Definitely. True love is supporting your partner’s dreams—even if it means staying in the shadows.
8. The Loud Sleeper
“She farts in her sleep. LOUD.” – u/Higanbana_-
What’s the takeaway? Let’s be honest, sometimes relationships are about embracing the quirky little things—no matter how noisy they are!
9. The Impossible Burger Faux Pas
“My husband used to use a meat thermometer to check the ‘doneness’ of Impossible burgers. He didn’t know you could eat them raw. I just couldn’t bring myself to tell him. The burgers were tough as bricks, but I love that man.” – u/RissaSharp
Life lesson? Some things are too adorable to correct. Plus, it’s the thought that counts, right?
10. The Secret Ring Upgrade
“For our tenth anniversary, I’m surprising her with a new engagement ring that’s five times more expensive than the original one. It’s been five years in the making.” – u/jayhof52
Why keep it hush-hush? Sometimes, the best moments are the ones that take your breath away.
11. The Mug Mishap
“I accidentally used her favorite mug for a month and didn’t confess.” – u/GentleLeah
Seems small? Maybe. But anyone who has a favorite mug knows how serious this is. (Coffee lovers, can you relate?)
12. The Secret Shoe Closet
“While she’s away, I’ve turned a closet into a shoe closet for her. She’s always wanted one. I can’t wait to see her face when she gets back.” – u/FlySuperb6189
What’s the takeaway? Thoughtful surprises can make all the difference. (And who doesn’t love a good closet makeover?)
13. The Magic Card Switcheroo
“We got into Magic the Gathering after two rough years of cancer battles and losses. She loves collecting rare cards but never seemed to have the same luck I did. So, I bought her a rare card, snuck it into a pack, and resealed it. When she opened it, she thought she had hit the jackpot.” – u/randapeno
Why do this? Because sometimes, helping someone find a bit of magic is worth keeping a secret.
14. The Vegetarian Truth
“I know my husband isn’t actually vegetarian, despite what he tells me. A coworker spilled the beans that he eats meat occasionally. I don’t mind, but it’s cute he thinks I don’t know!” – u/idonthavetoomanycats
What’s the takeaway? Sometimes, ignorance really is bliss. Or, at least, pretending to be!
15. The Hallmark Movie Fan
“I claim to hate those cheesy Hallmark movies she watches, but truth is, I get caught up in them too. I pretend to be engrossed in my game, but I’m secretly following the plot.” – u/OldBrokeGrouch
Guilty pleasure? You bet. But who can resist a feel-good love story?
