Reddit user spinx248 asked: 'What’s a secret you’ll never tell your spouse or SO?'

Communication and trust are keys to a long-lasting relationship.

But even the best relationships are not without their secrets. Depending on the situation, some information is better left unrevealed so as to protect the relationship.

But is that a violation of trust–even if ignorance is bliss?


That's something that was explored after Redditor spinx248 asked:

"What’s a secret you’ll never tell your spouse or SO?"
 

Redditors came clean with their emission admissions.

"Remember when we were engaged and visited your mom in the hospital, and she let a fart so rank that your eyes watered and we still talk about it 20 years later?"

"That was me."

– Sarah-JessicaSnarker

It Was Coming From Inside The House

"That I farted and him checking the entire house as well as asking the neighbors if they smelled anything because he thought 'it could be a gas leak' was a waste of time."

These secrets kept the relationship alive.

Monster-In-Law

"Her mother was interfering in our marriage constantly."

"I had an appointment with a lawyer to talk over options for divorce because I couldn't stand it anymore."

"Then her mother died suddenly. Heart attack."

"After the funeral, things got better...and here we are now married for 3 decades."

"She doesn't need to know."

Early Bird

"How we really met…"

"He thinks a mutual friend decided to play matchmaker, which is true, but not the full picture."

"A friend of mine sent screenshots of my SOs dating app profile saying 'I’ve just found your future husband' some light googling led me to discover we shared a mutual friend, I spoke to him and he played matchmaker."

"6 years later, I’m never telling him that I basically stalked him first…"

There's no harm in keeping these private.

Potential Game-Over

"That I left the Nintendo Switch you gifted me on a bus. The Switch that you see me using is a replacement that I bought on ebay."

– TurtleGlobe

Pretend Hero

"Sometimes when I shake the kleenex outside, the spider isn't in it."

– ALighterShadeOfPale

"Hahaha once my husband captured a spider i was too scared to get. I was cowering down the hallway when inheard him say 'oops' then a slightly insincere"got 'em" but just a beat too late to be true."

– nebbeundersea

Redditors hid their clumsy attempts to make things right.

H2O-ohhh

"That one time when went camping for 3 nights I left the garden hose on at home full blast and we got a $700 water bill."

– poppinwheelies

Clumsy Repair

"That I chipped our wonderful granite quartz counter (that he picked out) and filled it with white putty. I will take this to my grave."

– Arrowings

Ignorance is bliss, forever and always.

Secret Ingredient

"Early on in our relationship, I made breakfast for my then Girlfriend and her kids using some pancake mix she had in the pantry. After making the pancakes and serving to them, I went to mix up a little more to make mine...and I realized there were some maggots in the dry mix."

"They were pretty much done eating, and telling me how good they were...I decided that ignorance was better than telling them. Taking that one to my grave."

– camafu

Secrets are tricky, but like all other types of confidential information, they have a tendency of slipping out.

A possible breakup can either be blamed on the nature of the secret itself or the deception of concealing it from a significant other.

If you have a secret you're keeping from your loved one, you may want to consider if it's worth coming clean.

On one hand, it can be risky if a hurtful truth can jeopardize the relationship. But think of the advantage of voluntarily owning up to the truth and earning more respect from your SO.

Something to think about.
