What secrets do you know that you wish you didn't!

[BubbleBathBitch]

I have a couple of secrets that I wish I didn't know, one of them has only transpired this week which has prompted this thread.

I know who the father of my friends child is. She doesn't know that I know. The child keeps asking who her father is and friend won't tell them. Now that I know I wish I didn't!

My other one is that (a different) friend of mine has 3 younger siblings. The 4 of them thought they all had the same dad - they don't. In fact there are 4 different dads. My friend knows this but her siblings don't.

It makes me feel so uncomfortable knowing MASSIVE things like this when the people involved don't know which got me thinking, just to lighten my load - what secrets do you know that you wish you didn't!?

I know a brother and sister who had a sexual relationship from their teens up until their early twenties.
I wish I didn’t know

I found out that my DM had an affair whilst married to my DF (which is probably why his side of the family didn't like her much). DPs patched things up and remained married for over 50 years. I found a few love letters from OM that she'd secreted away when clearing her house after she died.

A mutual friend found out when she worked in a place with her that does extensive background checks and someone from HR gossiped about it absolutely shocking!

Brilliant thread but blimey - some of these are awful and must be a burden

@ESGdance it wouldn't do anyone any good to tell anyone now. All it would do is ruin my life. I don't feel traumatised by the abuse. In fact I didn't even think of it as abuse til I was joking on at work about having a boyfriend in his 30s when I was 13 and someone said that wasn't normal.

I do Google him every now and then to see if anything comes up, court cases or whatever.

@NightmateSlashDelightful. It's one of those things where I wish I either didn't know, or that everybody knew. I understand and respect his wishes to keep it to himself but it creates awkwardness, anxiety and will be sad and hurtful to a lot of people after he's gone.
Exactly my situation.
