10 Lies People Are Keeping From Their Partners

When it comes to relationships, secrets are like flaws in a surface that seems perfect. They are below the surface and can't be seen, but they have the power to change the very roots of a relationship. Being honest and open is usually the best thing to do when dealing with other people.

However, it is still true that people hide facts, keep some parts of their lives secret, or hide feelings and thoughts that could otherwise make their relationships less stable. Let's look at some deep confessions made by people who are hiding things from their partners. 

1. Secret Blogging Marriage

In this confession, one user says they've kept a big secret from their significant other. They write a blog under a fake name about their whole marriage, and many people read it every day and tell them what they think. This secret online world is like a mirror story of their real-life relationship. This makes me wonder how this secret blog has affected their relationship.

2. Struggling With Parental Attachment

Someone else opens up about a problem they've been hiding from their significant other. Even though they love their new son, it's hard for them to form a strong emotional bond with him. This tension inside them makes them feel bad, making things difficult for their family in ways they haven't talked about with their partner yet.

3. Unveiling Atheism in a Religious Relationship

Another user shares a sensitive secret that has to do with their views. Their partner is very religious, but they have become atheists while dating. They have kept their changing beliefs a secret because they fear how their partner might respond. This has made their relationship more tense.

4. The Mother-in-Law Conundrum

Because their partner has a difficult relationship with their mother, one person isn't sure if their partner would make a good long-term partner. This hidden worry makes them question the future of their relationship and shows how hard it is for them to get their worries together.

5. Life Held Together by Duct Tape

Another person shows a big difference between how they look and how hard things are for them inside. They act like they have a stable life with a good job and chances, but they admit that their life is held together by luck, duct tape, and alcohol. This new information shows how hard it is to keep calm while dealing with personal problems.

6. Lingering Love for an Ex

Despite being in a serious relationship, one user admits they are still deeply in love with their ex-girlfriend. Their past love keeps returning to haunt them, causing a painful internal conflict they are still trying to work through.

7. Insecurity Amidst Differences

Another person says they are worried about how their partner sees them. They are afraid that their partner, who is younger, beautiful, and successful, will finally see how average the user is, both in terms of looks and money. This fear that they don't talk about makes their relationship more complicated.

8. Keeping a Weekly Habit of Hidden

To their partner's surprise, one user divulges a weekly ritual they've been keeping secret. Their partner doesn't know that they smoke weed even though they've been together for years. This secret activity adds a layer of mystery to their relationship. It shows how important it is to talk to each other openly.

9. Gamble Gone Wrong

A user talks about a big loss of money that they have been hiding from their partner. They lost two weeks' worth of pay gambling on a recent work trip, which quickly drained their savings. This loss throws off their shared goals of saving for home changes and their upcoming wedding, which they haven't told each other about. This puts extra financial stress on their relationship.

10. Deployed in Silence

Lastly, a currently deployed user says that they lied to their partner about how dangerous their deployment is. They have kept the higher risks they face a secret so their partner doesn't have to worry too much while they're gone. This unspoken sacrifice shows how hard it is on the emotions to keep up a front of confidence when things are tough.
