What is one thing your SO doesn't know about you?

I have had an AP for the past year.

That I (DW) occasionally watch porn in private. Plus the particular things i like to watch - I've never told him.

OP, what's your answer?

Just to add...I don't even think he'd bat an eye, but I still keep it private.

You deserve way better. Sorry to say this, but your DH is the "weak" one. Just another self-centered bottom feeder.

This is pretty much my biggest fear. It would be instant separation.

Same here...

Does the fact that you feel you have to hide this affect your relationship with your wife?
Why did you decide to marry someone who will freak if she know this about you?

Why would you separate because your DH had previous relationships with men? Don't you actually love him or is this a simple business relationship?
Homophobic?
Seems sad to me.

I can't think of a thing she doesn't know about me. She thinks that there's more, that there are things she doesn't know, but sadly there's not.

I had a pretty debilitating bout of depression, but I've always sort of told him (and myself) that it was a phase we all have, not a big deal, meds work so yay for getting help. But really I spent that year wanting to die and hoping everyday I would. He doesn't know that and he won't. It would break his heart to know we were together and I felt that way.

Thanks PP. good news is the only thing I'm sad about is that I didn't speak up for myself sooner. If anyone is out there even thinking about saying something to your doctor about how rundown or sad you are, do it. My life changed instantly when I finally made a weak ask for help. It's been five years and I'm so happy and most importantly back to being myself. If it's even crossed your mind that things aren't right for you, talk to your doctor. I needed that reminder then but unfortunately it took me a year to see that sleeping all the time and sobbing at the news was not behavior that was in line with the real me.

That I have suicidal thoughts pretty often - and it's partly because I feel trapped in our marriage, and that is because I'm afraid if I walk away I'll be alone forever.
