“I Could Solve A Missing Person’s Case”: 69 Shocking And Dark Secrets That Could Ruin People’s Lives

I drove my niece to have a termination in another state and lied about being her mother so she could, because her parents are religious red-hat fanatics.

My maga cousin had an abortion 15 years ago. Her maga husband doesn’t know. Her maga mom had one too in the 70’s. Neither know about the other. These maga jerks keep lying to each other and voting to take these rights from others. Sometimes I want to just blow it all up. I’m so angry right now.

Through a series of a randomly connected events, I found out about a couple I know where the husband is cheating on his wife. The thing is, the wife has been going through cancer treatments and the husband is ALWAYS there for her, always by her side, every appointment. And she had disclosed to another mutual friend that they hadn’t been intimate in years, since before the cancer diagnosis. She also doesn’t work and I know is pretty financially dependent on him. From the outside, we only know them as a pretty loving doting couple. He very much has that “wife guy” persona, the “I will drop everything and run an errand for you” kind of behavior. 

Now I know everyone will say that I’m probably a [bad] person for not telling his wife, but I truly cannot think of a worse time to tell her. And to what benefit? She relies on him and he seems to always show up and support her. Takes her to every chemo appointment, she updates about her cancer journey on CaringBridge and one of the single most common things she talks about is how she can’t do any of this without his love and support, how he has been the best person getting her through this. 

One of the biggest evils of cheating imho is the emotional betrayal, yes, but it’s the physical danger you put your partner in by sleeping with other people. From what she’s told a mutual girlfriend of our’s, they haven’t been intimate in years. That would have been my biggest incentive to warn her, but that doesn’t seem to be an issue. I know it might make ME a [bad] person for keeping my mouth shut, but I can’t imagine going through cancer and finding out my husband is cheating on me. 

I’m just keeping my mouth shut and staying out of it. I found out by random fluke anyway. I think it would destroy so many lives if I said anything, and not improve ONE thing for anyone.

Bet this one is common but I have never told anyone about this. I have been heavily depressed for as long as I can remember. 


I'm doing better since I got diagnosed and started treatment plus a good therapist two years ago. But there are days where I really want to be gone and not long ago I have really felt the urge to do something about it on a few occasions where I felt nothing but despair. 


A few months ago I left my apartment one night to have a walk and clear my head... But I kept thinking i wouldn't go back. 


It's as if I have internally accepted that I'll never be happy and that I have firmly failed myself and everyone. What's weird is that, objectively, I don't think I'm a bad person nor that I'm in such a horrible situation, but I am mostly tired of feeling lonely and of mentally punishing myself for everything I do.


Anyway, I still force myself to keep going for some reason ...

I worked at a Cafe where my manager knew everyone's pay and then proceed to tell the entire morning shift right before evening shift came in because she was denied a raise. Walked in and everyone was yelling upset about the amount of unfair pay across the board. Her and 3 other people walked out. I got promoted on the spot, later told the boss to match the highest pay or I would walk too while he was under duress being short staffed 😂

That I’m an atheist. My whole extended family believes I am still evangelical like all of them. I could probably endure the disagreement and ostracism from it, but honestly, I don’t want to make my mom cry. Plus, my parents are loaded and I don’t want to lose out on my inheritance honestly. It would make the difference between living a much harder life later on or not. I can maintain this until they’re [gone].

Not sure if this counts, but I'm currently pursuing full custody of my kid, and the mother and I have a court date coming up soon. She doesn't know it, but on top of all of the other reasons I have for pursuing, she also has multiple warrants out. She's gonna show up to court not knowing she's gonna get arrested, ultimately handing me the case on a silver platter.

I could solve a missing person's case if I felt like it.

Dude has been missing since 2011, I ran into him 1600 miles away from where we grew up, while hiking just in one of those "small world" moments. He came from a super [toxic] family. I'm just gonna let him live out his life. He wouldn't be the only runaway to wind up in Alaska. But I went to look him up on Facebook to add him as a friend later that day and saw all the posts on his page from family and friends. And he hadn't posted in over a year at that point.

I am filled with self loathing and want to check out.

I don’t follow my wants because I don’t want to scar my kids with the same scar my Mum gave me.

Before my dad passed away, he told me he wished he'd married the woman before my mother. I wish he had too.

I know two married men who are in a secret gay relationship. I was at a wedding with them, their wives and my girlfriend. I ran back to our airbnb to grab my vape pen right before the ceremony and in my haste I not only walked in on them, but completely missed that they were in the room until I was standing right next to them. I was laser focused on getting the vape, so I threw open our bedroom door and went straight for the nightstand where I left it. Once i had it, I looked up another few degrees and realized there were two grown men in our bed... I was so surprised, grossed out and embarrassed I just yelled "oh no big deal! I won't say anything!" And went running out of the apartment. One of them, comically the less homophobic of the two, approached me later in the wedding when I was outside getting a drink and asked me to keep it a secret. I've kept that secret to this day. I broke up with the girlfriend years ago, but according to the social media I see they are all definitely still hanging out together and seemingly happily married.

I know a couple.... both of them, are secretly cheating on each other.

I used to be friends with my boss's wife. He was cheating on her at work, and the next day I'd meet her for coffee and she'd tell me all about her affairs. The sigh of relief I let out when they finally divorced, you wouldn't believe it. Never thought I'd ever be this glad a marriage was ending.

None of my wife's 7 siblings are from the same dad.

Their mom [passed away] a few years ago and I was helping clean out things because I was the only one who wasn't breaking down from emotions doing it, found a box of letters and journals, skimmed them making sure nothing financial or the like was it in or stuff the family might want and I did find a lot of photos and letters from family and whatnot but some of the stuff was definitely headed for the fire pit. Their mom apparently gotten a lot of "really good deals" on goods and services around town, the butcher and their gardener in particular but also one of the local car dealership owners. They apparently all kept in touch with her and seem to know the kids are theirs but kept their distance. The kicker is they're all from a small very conservative very Christian town, like Mayberry with more self-righteousness, if this got out my wife's family would be devastated but the town would be in an uproar because of who all she was involved with and for how long.

I'm just waiting for them to try doing 23andme's or something but I'll play dumb and sip my tea.

One of my friends married another drunkenly in Vegas. Both were seeing other people. Neither of their current spouses nor families know.

They had to file joint taxes that year and get a secret divorce and I’d never secretly laughed so hard in my life. These people deserved it.

Not really that salacious but still a goodie.

I asked the HR department for my payroll statement for the last six months. I received it, but instead of one month's pay, it was a payroll for every one of the 70 employees, from assistants to managers and even executive board. I didn't say anything because it would have been awkward.

My bro work in IT for a mid-sized company. He told me: People think Incognito Mode hides their activity from the network admin. It doesn't. The amount of affairs I could expose just by exporting chat logs is terrifying.

A well-known psychologist and author of many popular books, received his PsyD from an unaccredited “university” that went out of business. Always look into the background of anyone before you take their advice!

My Grandad [passed away] in 2012. We had his funeral, and he was cremated. In 2022, I asked my Mum if I could have some of his ashes so I could have them made into a wedding ring. My mum had to tell me that my Dad never went to collect his ashes after he was cremated.
After contacting the funeral directors, fortunately, they had kept them for 10 years and i went to collect them. 4 years later, I still have my Grandads ashes, and my Gran thinks they were buried at his grave. I will never be able to tell my Gran as it would break her heart, so until my gran is ready to join him, I will keep his ashes until they can be buried together.

I had a musician friend who was cheating on his girlfriends with his sister and she was cheating on her boyfriends and girlfriends with her brother. They were both artsy hipsters from a rich family and would fool around.

I only found out because I had a crush on the sister and we went out a few times and hooked up. After one night I left work and showed up at her place to hang out and noticed her brother and her making out. I didn’t realize it was her brother at the moment and was kinda hurt but like okay (non exclusive). So I decide to leave and have a smoke. I call my buddy (her brother) to hang out, he says he’s with his sister atm and I should swing by her place in like 15 min. At this point I just know. I don’t even drive away from place and I notice the car in the guest spot is his.

I pick him up and take him out for a few beers. I ask him if it was his sister and he just goes “yeah with this stupid grin”. I press him on it and he tells me they fool around when they’re intoxicated and bored.

I kept it a secret because I didn’t want to ruin her life but did tell his gf he was cheating. Didn’t say who but that he mentioned it.

I’ve never spoken to either of them since.

Friend of mine has a secret 15yo daughter from a workplace affair that lasted a week. A WEEK. She told him she couldn't have kids. The mom's been blackmailing him ever since - cash payments, career promotions, the whole deal. She threatened to go to his wife, his kids, AND file harassment claims. He's too high up in the company to risk it. Dude's been living a double life for a decade and a half, and I'm the only one who knows.

P.S. Before anyone asks - yes, there's a PI and two lawyers on it already. In our country proving blackmail without a paper trail is basically a lost cause. Oh, and we still can't verify if the kid is even his.
