That could end your marriage? Don’t have to reveal what they are...

No! Sorry, that’s so boring of me Grin.

Flyingfish2019 · 26/04/2019 23:24

No, I don’t think so.

On the other hand. Well.... to be honest... I do think one of my husbands friends is pretty good looking... but I never told dh and I never told the friend and I never did anything. Does that count?

Longdistance · 26/04/2019 23:26

Hmm, I did have lots of ONS in my 20’s with different men. Not sure if that’s what you’re after? I would never tell dh as I think he’d be shocked.

CupOhTea · 26/04/2019 23:27

@Flyingfish2019

😂 no, I don’t think that counts —and you’re almost as boring as I am— Grin.

Flyingfish2019 · 26/04/2019 23:28

Now that I talked about it I wonder if I should tell dh. Having thought about it a Bit i am pretty sure it would not endanger the marriage but I am not sure if it would be good or bad for the marriage and if it would do anything to their friendship.

Flyingfish2019 · 26/04/2019 23:30

@Cupohtea: and I hoped that it was a shocking relevation... a bit disappointed that it isn’t.Shock

Flyingfish2019 · 26/04/2019 23:32

@longdistance. When I met dh we were pretty young and he was shocked that I wasn’t a virgin anymore (we come from an old fashioned subculture), But he learned to live with it.

CupOhTea · 26/04/2019 23:32

Grin sorry @Flyingfish2019.

Flyingfish2019 · 26/04/2019 23:36

@Cupohtea: Okay. Then let’s wait for somebody else to reveal something shocking on this thread.

CupOhTea · 26/04/2019 23:38

Yes, let’s wait for something scandalous Smile.

Margotshypotheticaldog · 26/04/2019 23:42

Yes. 3 that could potentially end the marriage. One incident of cheating early in the relationship, and 2 other big lies. The 2nd two I'll take to my grave.

Earthlove1234 · 26/04/2019 23:47

@margotshypotheticaldog glad it’s not just me. How early into the relationship was it?

LBOCS2 · 26/04/2019 23:49

No, nothing that could end my marriage. Some things that could make things uncomfortable for a while, definitely. But not marriage ending. And DH is not particularly forgiving either.

Nottheduchess · 26/04/2019 23:49

Just placemarking for the goss....no skellys in my wardrobe!

Margotshypotheticaldog · 26/04/2019 23:51

About 2 years in Earthlove, so not that early I suppose.

CupOhTea · 26/04/2019 23:51

Oh my Lord Margotshypotheticaldog. Whatever it is must be serious Sad.

HBStowe · 26/04/2019 23:54

No, my husband knows all my important secrets. I’d be no good at hiding anything important from him.

Cuddlysnowleopard · 26/04/2019 23:55

I've got one. It probably wouldn't end my marriage, and there's a possibility that DH would just laugh and be weirdly impressed, but I'm not risking it.

HappyLife21 · 26/04/2019 23:56

@Flyingfish2019 Good god woman, do not tell him. You loon! Grin

Checkthemeaning · 26/04/2019 23:57

Yes. Happened before we were together properly. He knows something happened but I've never fully confirmed it as I'm petrified I'll lose him

Saracen · 27/04/2019 00:05

No, not a single one. Not even a small fragment of bone.

There are definitely things I'd rather my DH didn't know, because he might lose some respect for me. But nothing that would remotely jeopardise my marriage.

ncftt2 · 27/04/2019 00:09

Yes.. and I named changed especially for this thread! I had a few 'sugar daddies' when I was 18, who I had oral and vagina sex with in exchange for presents and money. I regret it as it was dangerous and degrading, but at the time I didn't care and I enjoyed the excitement- silly teenager. I think it would jeopardise my marriage if dh found out now as I have never told him, and he would judge me deeply.

Macandcheese05 · 27/04/2019 00:11

yes, 4 that I've done that would instantly end us. 1 other that would change how he viewed me but not end us (its not something ive done)

PaddyMcGintysGoatee · 27/04/2019 00:16

Flyingfish please don’t tell your DH! You’ve done nothing wrong, so why risk upsetting your lovely DH over nothing?

Marypoppinshats · 27/04/2019 00:19

Maybe. I don’t know how DH would react. Basically a member of his family was doing something illegal and I shopped him. He lost his job. It was even in the national papers which is where I had to pretend to find out. Two years later and DH still doesn’t know it was me.

(DH didn’t condone it but preferred to turn a blind eye.)
