What secrets do most of your friends & family not know about you?

I go to nudist resorts very often in the summertime, yet don’t practice nudism in my own home/life.

DH has no idea I identified as bisexual when we married and now identify as a lesbian married to a man. He doesn’t even know I’m attracted to women. If we divorce (which we very well might because we don’t get along for reasons having nothing to do with my sexuality), I’ll never date another man again.

Oh please, 25% of the women you know have had an abortion. Most of them don't regret it. Get over yourself.

I'm a pro-choice liberal who is disgusted by the conservatives limiting of women's rights by banning abortion.

However if I had ever been in the situation to have one, I may have regretted it too. Just because a lot of women do it with no regret doesn't mean nobody has regret. Have a little sympathy please! Her regret is not a judgment on you or your rights.

Agreed on all counts.

Then why are you keeping it as a secret? Go scream about it.

You know, now that a stranger on the Internet had given me permission, maybe I will 🙄🙄🙄

Why keep it a secret if you don't regret it though?

Believe it or not, abortions don’t just come up in conversation. I was shell shocked at the time (10+ years ago) for lots of reasons not just the unplanned pregnancy. My husband I just hunkered down and supported each other.

Looking back, it’s weird to me that I didn’t share with my sisters but it would also be weird to bring it up now. I rarely think about. This thread is prob the most I’ve thought about it in 10 years.

That is terrifying and must have been horrible in the aftermath to deal with. Hope you and your kid are okay now.

How did that happen?

My estranged father committed suicide 30 years ago when I was in college. I say “he died in a car accident”. Only my mother (who was abused by him when they were married) and my 2 siblings know.

I am severely depressed. I am so tired, have zero friends, and no hobbies. I am on anti depressant but stopped therapy when we moved during Covid (because it wasn’t really working). I am coping by distracting myself with Netflix and podcasts. My DH is so caught up in his career that he doesnt seem to notice. Or he thinks I’m lazy. I am fake and mask it well enough.

Although I don’t have a reason to want to live, I know I will never harm myself; because I don’t want to do that to my kids - high school junior and college freshman. I don’t know what I’m going to do when my youngest graduates next year. We are very well off 7 figure HHI but “money doesnt buy happiness”. I think my DH deserves someone better - happier and more active for the retirement years. I sometimes don’t want to try.

My 2 secrets are probably related.

That I / we are devastated by a tremendous amount of lost pregnancies in the last 2 years.
