Everyone has small secrets, others so powerful they could change their world. In this article, we share 10\u00a0stories<\/strong>\u00a0that reveal the hidden struggles, suprising truths, and untold moments from people\u2019s lives.<\/p>\n

Story 1:\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

As\u00a0newlyweds, we\u00a0met another young couple, and we\u00a0became close friends. Then, suddenly, they stopped taking our calls. My\u00a0husband said, \u201cLet it\u00a0go, honey.\u201d 3\u00a0years later, I\u00a0saw the wife at\u00a0the bank. I\u00a0confronted her. She became pale and said, \u201cWe\u00a0saw on\u00a0the news that your husband had robbed his employer. We\u00a0didn\u2019t want to\u00a0be\u00a0associated with you anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Seeing my confusion, she took out her phone and showed me a video. I watched my husband getting arrested at his workplace, and a reporter explained how he had stolen $170k from his workplace. I was in sh0ck.<\/p>\n

Memories from the past flooded back. I\u00a0remembered the strange month when my\u00a0husband had been gone without a\u00a0word, claiming later that we\u00a0had \u201cseparated\u201d temporarily. It\u00a0all started to\u00a0make sense. During that time, he\u00a0had been arrested and was dealing with legal trouble.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

As\u00a0it\u00a0turns out, his boss\u2014kind and merciful\u2014had decided to\u00a0drop the charges, allowing my\u00a0husband to\u00a0avoid jail. Shortly after, he\u00a0came back home as\u00a0if\u00a0nothing had happened. That explained why he\u00a0had suddenly lost his job and why we\u00a0moved to\u00a0another state for some time.<\/p>\n

What still shocks me\u00a0to\u00a0this day is\u00a0how he\u00a0managed to\u00a0keep all of\u00a0this a\u00a0secret from\u00a0me. How did\u00a0I not see\u00a0it? How could he\u00a0hide something so\u00a0big?<\/p>\n

Story 2:\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

I\u00a0found out while building an\u00a0Ancestry.com family tree that my\u00a0deceased father-in-law was married to\u00a0another woman in\u00a0another state when my\u00a0wife was born. He\u00a0divorced her and married my\u00a0mother-in-law within a\u00a0month of\u00a0my\u00a0wife\u2019s birth. They were married for over 40\u00a0years until his death. I\u2019m 100% certain my\u00a0wife doesn\u2019t know this, and\u00a099% certain my\u00a0mother-in-law doesn\u2019t either.\u00a0\u00a9\u00a0Jealous-Network1899\u00a0\/ Reddit<\/p>\n

Story 4:\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

My grandmother allegedly had an aff:a:ir with her sister\u2019s husband and ended up pregnant. She had the baby, left her with a family member, and a couple of weeks later, the baby di:ed.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll never know what actually happened. When my\u00a0grandma was still alive, I\u00a0asked her about it\u00a0directly. She didn\u2019t give me\u00a0a\u00a0straight answer\u2014she just danced around\u00a0it. It\u00a0would make sense, though, considering she and that sister had a\u00a0very adversarial relationship. I\u00a0was told this by\u00a0their brother, who happened to\u00a0be\u00a0schizophrenic, so\u00a0who knows what the truth\u00a0is.\u00a0\u00a9\u00a0ItsAboutTime125\u00a0\/ Reddit<\/p>\n

Through a\u00a0DNA service, I\u00a0was contacted by\u00a0someone claiming to\u00a0be\u00a0my\u00a0first cousin, but\u00a0I didn\u2019t recognize the name. It\u00a0turns out this cousin was put up\u00a0for adoption at\u00a0birth years ago by\u00a0my\u00a0aunt. My\u00a0aunt had only confided in\u00a0my\u00a0mother, who told me\u00a0after\u00a0I started digging to\u00a0figure out how we\u00a0were related. Now, my\u00a0aunt is\u00a0horrified that\u00a0I found out about her child and avoids me\u00a0at\u00a0all costs during family gatherings.\u00a0\u00a9\u00a0never_mind_its_me\u00a0\/ Reddit<\/p>\n

Story 7:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

My\u00a0mum earns six figures, yet she\u2019s a\u00a0mistress for a\u00a0millionaire. I\u2019ve known for over 10\u00a0years. He\u00a0regularly deposits money into her account\u2014drips of\u00a0a\u00a0few thousand a\u00a0month.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

He\u00a0has bought my\u00a0grandparents things and even bought me\u00a0things. I\u00a0pretend he\u2019s just a\u00a0great and generous family friend, but\u00a0I know she\u2019s having an\u00a0affair for cash. It\u2019s not even like she needs the money. It\u2019s wild.\u00a0\u00a9\u00a0inkvision\u00a0\/ Reddit<\/p>\n

My\u00a0mom gave birth on\u00a0the floor of\u00a0her apartment. I\u00a0used to\u00a0think it\u00a0was because it\u00a0happened so\u00a0fast\u2014that\u2019s what she always said. I\u00a0recently learned it\u00a0was because she was in\u00a0denial about being pregnant and never received any prenatal care. She denied it\u00a0right up\u00a0until the baby was literally coming out of\u00a0her.\u00a0\u00a9\u00a0Over_The_Influencer\u00a0\/ Reddit<\/p>\n

Story 9:\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

My brother had a:n affa:ir with one of my friend\u2019s mums.<\/p>\n

She used to\u00a0give him a\u00a0lift to\u00a0work when he\u00a0was 18\u00a0years old. This went on\u00a0for over six months. She ended up\u00a0getting obsessed with him, and he\u00a0blocked her on\u00a0all social media and his phone, basically burying his head in\u00a0the sand. Her husband is\u00a0a\u00a0huge, intimidating guy, and her son is\u00a0a\u00a0lifelong friend of\u00a0mine.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

None of\u00a0them know. My\u00a0brother only told me\u00a0because she, seemingly, didn\u2019t tell anyone. It\u2019s pretty weird carrying such a\u00a0heavy secret.\u00a0\u00a9\u00a0kicksjoysharkness\u00a0\/ Reddit<\/p>\n

Story 11:\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

I learned from my best friend that my cousin (40-ish male) had an af:fa:ir with a 20-year-old girl, who is one of my friend\u2019s friends. My cousin is engaged and has three kids with his fianc\u00e9e.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m from a\u00a0small town, and if\u00a0I told someone, it\u00a0wouldn\u2019t just ruin their life\u2014everyone would know. His mom comes from a\u00a0high-standing family in\u00a0the area, so\u00a0it\u00a0would be\u00a0a\u00a0complete disaster.\u00a0\u00a9\u00a0Valayria12\u00a0\/ Reddit<\/p>\n
