AVarma Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 I was reading a cute story about a guy who's wife hated carrot cake for some reason. He told her he hated it too and kept it up for 11 years. One day they're in a bakery and he gets a craving for it and decides to fess up. She obviously thinks it's adorable and she now buys him carrot cake cupcakes and stuff. A cute little story. Anyone have any similar stories? Obviously I understand if you SO is a veteran or has been sexually abused as a child or something serious like that that they may not want to share but anything else that's less serious. Are there any cute or embarrassing secrets you've kept from your SO or that he/she has kept from you only to fess up later?
Dybbuk Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 I'm actually a pretty avid doll collector and it's something I don't really openly reveal to guys I'm dating because it's looked at as such a weird hobby! So when I started dating my current BF, I hid that fact for a long time until I was scheduled to go to a doll convention (NERD ALERT) last year for a full Thurs-Sun weekend. I didn't want to lie to him about where I would be all weekend so I finally fessed up and he was amazingly supportive and excited for me. Sure he will occasionally tease me but shows his support in lots of little ways and even considered getting me a doll for Christmas. (Which I appreciated immensely but deterred him from doing so because they're so expensive!) On the flip side, he told me he has a huge love of Legos when we first started dating and I never batted an eye because of my dolls. I think he was worried I would find it juvenile and a waste of money so one day he texts me he bought a Lego set and text me a picture of what he got. I respond with a "How cute!". Well the next day I get a text that says... "I need to confess something" which immediately I'm hitting all the panic buttons in my head thinking it's gonna be something big, and he ends up saying "I didn't buy just one Lego set, I bought two. *insert photo of Lego fire truck* I didn't want you to think I was just blowing money on stupid things." LOL! Awwww. Needless to say we're both supportive of each others juvenile hobbies. I occasionally surprise him with Lego sets I find on sale, and he'll ask me about my doll hobby too. THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE! lol 6
stillmind Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 I just found out my husband's favorite movie is "Cabin Boy"... he hid this from me until a couple of weeks ago because apparently it's one of the worst movies of all time and he was embarrassed, lol. 2
Got it Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 I can't think of anything. If I am hesitant to tell him then I deep dive why that is - we are very focused on transparence and being authentic in our relationship (as I/we have had issues with being fully "us" in previous relationships). Maybe the sheer magnitude of my over analyzing things. I can't say I hid it but I don't advertise it. I happily can say I really can't think of anything. 3
newmoon Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 he is italian and likes to eat/cook italian dishes. i don't like his pasta/noodle dishes at all, so for 3 years i have avoided all italian in his company, especially his, just claiming to not like noodles. about a month ago i went to a chinese place for lunch and ordered chow mein, and his response was "so noodles are ok if they are chinese ones?" i made up some excuse about not liking the tomato/cream sauces in italian foods but i don't think he bought it. lies snowball... 1

Ouch! LOL You've eaten his food before though, how'd you play that one off? Can he not cook or is it just his style? 1
autumnnight Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 When I first got married, I did not like Star Trek. I thought it was contrived and stupid. But he loved it so I watched it with him. Funny thing, though....now I love it. Captain Picard.......sigh....... 4
Honeybunnies Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Haha, all these are so funny! SO cute about the Doll/Lego and Star Trek stories! I guess my embarrassing secret is that I still go on a popular kid's virtual pet site from when I was 10 (I'm 24 now). It seems so childish so naturally, I've never told anyone. My boyfriend and I had been dating a few months when we went to the mall and happened to see a few toys made by the website. He said, "WOW, I totally remember that site! I can't believe it's still up. Did you ever go on??" I shrugged it off with, "Um... not really..." When we moved in together, I decided to tell him. I showed him my account, my profile's trophies/achievements, my adorable pets, my shop where I sold items for virtual money. He laughed but said it was kind of cute. He made a new account and played with me for about a week but then grew bored. I still log into his account to feed his pets though. 5
Dybbuk Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Lol @Honeybunnies... that story is ridiculously cute and so glad you're keeping his pets alive!
rester Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 My secret is the stash of self-help books I have hidden away. he is italian and likes to eat/cook italian dishes. i don't like his pasta/noodle dishes at all, so for 3 years i have avoided all italian in his company, especially his, just claiming to not like noodles. about a month ago i went to a chinese place for lunch and ordered chow mein, and his response was "so noodles are ok if they are chinese ones?" i made up some excuse about not liking the tomato/cream sauces in italian foods but i don't think he bought it. lies snowball... That's harsh, newmoon! Have you ever thought about telling him so that he can adapt the recipes more to your liking? I'm an avid cook but my girlfriend doesn't like everything I make. I get disappointed sometimes but I'd rather have her tell me the truth than have her avoid an entire genre of food to hide it from me. 2
Purepony Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 My juvenile hobby is collecting 2 door pony cars I have a 69 camaro, 72 ss camaro, 73 trans am, 70 challenger rt, and 72 sportback torino (all fully restored) and when I first met my gf she never liked cars, she says they look like kids hot wheels so I laughed but now she's begging to drive the camaro and the Challenger because of the attention they get when I take them out. I still say no but she might win this one. It was never a secret because its hard to hide 5 cars but yeah 2
newmoon Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Ouch! LOL You've eaten his food before though, how'd you play that one off? Can he not cook or is it just his style? i ate his dish(es) twice - both pasta/noodle dishes he brought to parties. he is heavy-handed with the sauce and his stuff just wasn't tasty. i just avoid his cooking altogether unless it's a sandwich. he can cook, just not to my liking. i take a few bites and say i'm full, or i cook, or i eat before i see him. it gets messy when you hide stuff :-) 1

autumnnight Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 I am, in actuality, a superhero. That is my secret. 3

Wonder if my account is still up, could show my SO.... 2
Author AVarma Posted February 19, 2015 Author Posted February 19, 2015 This thread has the cutest responses of any thread on LS. I deserve an award for this! 1
whichwayisup Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 I hide chocolate behind the ketchup in the fridge as I know my H won't look behind it. He hates ketchup so there's no way he'll even touch the bottle! If I don't hide my (PMS) chocolate he'll eat it all. There is one shirt of his I absolutely hated, he'd wear it a lot, almost see through because it was old and it also had an oil stain on it. The shirt magically disappeared..... 4
almond Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 After all these years, he still thinks that I like his mother. 5
Radu Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 No SO [obviously] but i did hide a few things in the past and will continue to hide them and others in the future. I regularly visit a major manga site to read up on my comics [i have a few and i will make some fun time for that every couple of weeks]. My sister knows of this. I regularly read Goblins Comic, Order of the stick and Erfworld. I still have my childhood plush toys [dinasours ... my favorite is a triceratops]. Self-improvement books are well hidden ... no risk of SO finding them [no SO] but i had guests. I still cannot get rid of my old PC's [i have close to 15 now]. I still have my rather large collection of books on weapons. And i'm seriously considering getting into building model airplanes. I hope one day to have a flying WW2 fighter model [a Bf-109 K series would be awesome].
MissBee Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) I was reading a cute story about a guy who's wife hated carrot cake for some reason. He told her he hated it too and kept it up for 11 years. One day they're in a bakery and he gets a craving for it and decides to fess up. She obviously thinks it's adorable and she now buys him carrot cake cupcakes and stuff. A cute little story. Anyone have any similar stories? Obviously I understand if you SO is a veteran or has been sexually abused as a child or something serious like that that they may not want to share but anything else that's less serious. Are there any cute or embarrassing secrets you've kept from your SO or that he/she has kept from you only to fess up later? This is so weird, why would you say you hate carrot cake just because your SO does? That's odd to me. I feel like food choices aren't anything to make or break a relationship so wouldn't see the necessity of pretending to hate something just because my SO hates it...it just comes off as though you're in the 8th grade and have no mind of your own and you think you can get a guy/girl to like you by simply evacuating yourself of all original thoughts and assuming theirs. It's strange. I understand bigger secrets more readily than something like that....no way I'm throwing away my love for a certain food cause my SO dislikes it. They never have to eat it and I never have to eat it around them but I sure as heck won't go 11 years pretending I don't like bacon lol. Not currently in a relationship and I don't think this is a secret, but no SO I've had really knows exactly what I do on LS. Most have perhaps seen me on it before but I've never shared my posts with them or had them read it and I don't think I'd want to. It's not because it's some big secret but it's like my space to share my thoughts unabashedly and sometimes it could be about the relationship or a previous relationship (since I've been a member for a while) and I just wouldn't want them reading it. Also thus far no guy I've dated knows my exact weight. Not a big secret either just something I've never discussed. Edited February 19, 2015 by MissBee
No Limit Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 I have a fetish I will never ever share with anyone I know irl. There's just too much prejudice for the world to take it. I also do playback singing while taking my shower which people don't really have to see... 1
Emilia Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 I can't think of anything.

Maybe the sheer magnitude of my over analyzing things. I can't say I hid it but I don't advertise it. I happily can say I really can't think of anything. Same. I'm shameless anyway, not worried the slightest about things other people would never admit to. 3

No Limit Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 You can't post something like this and then not tell what your fetish is!! I did. And I'm continuing to do so. Or rather "not do so"? Hmm...
