Secrets

There are two kinds of secrets: the ones we share with our closest friends, six different group chats, and everyone on Twitter. And then there are the deep, dark and/or embarrassing secrets that we hope nobody in our lives will ever find out about.But keeping secrets can be emotionally taxing, which is where anonymous internet forums, like Reddit, come in handy. You can spill your deepest, darkest secrets, protected by the anonymity of a username. Just make sure no one in your life (or law enforcement) discovers your Reddit username!In a popular Reddit thread, someone <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/76r87v/whats_a_secret_you_wont_share_with_anyone_in/" target="_blank">asked</a>: &quot;What&#39;s a secret you won&#39;t share with anyone in person, but you are willing to share anonymously?&quot;<h2>These 23 people anonymously spill the secrets that they&#39;ll never share with anyone IRL:</h2>1.)

From <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/Valduza/">Valduza</a>:<div className="ad-splitter"></div><blockquote> I own a 5 foot tall sex doll while living with 2 grandmas &amp; my mom. It was interesting ordering the doll and getting this big box weighing 80 pounds into the house with no one noticing.(I sat outside waiting for UPS to arrive just so no door bell was rung.) Had to go through the front door- through the hallway then into my room. </blockquote><blockquote> Somehow I did it with no one seeing.

She claims to not have had sex with him but I don&#39;t know if I can believe her. Before I found out( I found out by looking at her phone, she did not tell me) we were having arguments and just not getting along. </blockquote><blockquote> One night I finally had enough and approached her to discuss what was happening to us. It was then that she told me that she didn&#39;t know if she loved me anymore. 2 weeks later I found sexual pictures of her sent to him, texts between him and her that discussed getting together to hook up, and the most hurtful things a wife could say about her husband. </blockquote><div className="ad-splitter"></div><blockquote> At this point I understood why she was feeling detached from me. All her emotional needs were being met by this other man. </blockquote><blockquote> We have 3 amazing kids. A son and 2 daughters. 10,9,7 respectively. They are such good kids. I am dumbfounded that my wife would do this. We have been together for 20 years and married for 14. I think back to when she loved me and we were so happy. </blockquote><blockquote> Life has been challenging for us but not any different or difficult than most couples. I am so in love with her. She is an amazing mom, extremely beautiful to me, and has a very attractive bubbly personality that everyone loves. I am so proud that she is my wife. At least I was. </blockquote><blockquote> We have been and still are going to Counseling. She did end the relationship with the other man the day after I found out. She did say she loves me but is not romantically in love with me. Her actions are just not showing me much. </blockquote><div className="ad-splitter"></div><blockquote> I haven&#39;t told a soul except the Counsellor.

Hopefully this has a good ending. Thanks for reading. </blockquote>21.) From <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/Stone_808/">Stone_808</a>:<blockquote> My house is currently for sale.

I hope to hand my notice in at work before the year is over! </blockquote>22.) From <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/Shaeos/">Shaeos</a>:<blockquote> I&#39;m going to put a deadline on my relationship with the man I love for him to fix his sh*t or I&#39;m leaving. </blockquote><div className="ad-splitter"></div>23.)

Went to a Christian college for a bit. Minored in New Testament Greek. Married a Christian girl. Had kids who are growing up in our church. </blockquote><blockquote> I can no longer bring myself to honestly believe in God. I wish I could, but it just doesn&#39;t make any sense. I only maintain the illusion of keeping the faith because it would cause a lot of heartbreak to people who I really care about if they knew. </blockquote><blockquote> It&#39;s like I lost a friend who I had for 34 years, who I was super close to, who was always there for me, who knew me better than anyone else. But I can&#39;t mourn this loss, because my family and close friends still believe this friend is alive and if I tell them I don&#39;t believe they&#39;ll feel like they lost me. </blockquote><div className="ad-splitter"></div>
