30 Secrets People Know That Could Completely Ruin Someone’s Life If They Were Ever Shared

I walked in on a married co worker who use to treat me like trash, making out with another employee. When her husband would come in, I always made a solid point to say hello to him. Needless to say, she stopped bullying me.

Not sure if that would "ruin their life" but it would have caused some trouble for sure.

My friend’s dad is a very affable guy. Has a nice way about him, people tend to like him.

My friend once mentioned that his dad threw his mum down a flight of stairs years ago and broke her arm.

He always says hello to me on the passing and I’ll say hello back, but internally I’m always thinking ‘I know exactly what you are.’.

An older lady, that I used to take care of, admitted to me that her toxic husband slipped and fell into their pool about 15 years ago, and she let him drown. She watched him slip, knock himself unconscious, fall in, and she just walked away. Only calling the police hours after it happened.

I know someone who posts all over social media about her miscarriage she suffered, shes named the baby and frequently mentions them by name in miscarriage support groups etc. She promotes all these groups and does charity walks to raise awareness and money. She's married with 3 other kids.

The truth is she had an affair, fell pregnant and had an abortion. I have no idea if the charade is out of guilt or what, but I think she enjoys the sympathy and attention. It has no impact on me but I do feel sorry for her husband and kids and it just makes me feel icky when I see her posts. If anyone in her inner circle found out it would destroy her and probably her husband/kids.

Horrible coworker got absolutely smashed at a Christmas do years ago and told me she doesn't think her daughter is her husband's and that she thinks the father is actually someone from work that she had an affair with.

I know someone who makes a living as a vegan influencer and community organiser who I’ve regularly watched eat meat and dairy.

I know of someone who has a very strained relationship with their dad, but despite this is still caring for him as he’s very unwell. He doesn’t know that man is not his biological dad.

I had a friend who is serially unfaithful to his wife, for which reason I actually cut him out of my life (after multiple interventions)

He’s still however a teammate…so our relationship is more professional now than anything else

I’ve told him clearly “if she asks I’m not going to lie to your wife” - I’m guilty af of being a toxic bro code follower when he was dating women, but I won’t lie to someone’s wife…idc who you are.

A friend was sleeping with a lady that was married to a paraplegic guy. The couple had been trying to have kids for years. Within a month of their fling, she was pregnant. They just played it off that it was the husband's kid.

Oh this one is recent.

A few weeks ago, my mom’s best friend told me that she had given her alcoholic husband the “sobriety or divorce” ultimatum. It’s been an issue for decades, so it was warranted. Allegedly, he’d been sober a few weeks when all of us were at a wedding and I caught him drinking. Not only is my mom’s friend an “elder” to me, they also have a 13 year old son to raise. Usually I’m no snitch, but this time I had to tattle on him.

Aaaand he passed away of a heart attack two weeks later.

That was a week ago, and I kinda wonder if I caused stress in his life that pushed his heart over the edge. I know it’s not my fault but yeah.

So I guess that.

I know someone who is a lawyer with major mental health issues, and should have been in-patient multiple times. However, she was unable to do so because it would affect her ability to practice law.

Supposedly devout religious woman cheated on her husband with her personal trainer for a few years

Overheard her bragging to a friend about it.

I know a girl that has HPV and has Herpes thanks to her boyfriend cheating she was just pregnat and told me about it.

I used to work with a physician who perpetrated a six figure insurance fraud by using his dog’s poop to fake a bunch of colon cancer screenings. Several others in management knew about what he did, also received a bonus and looked the other way. I left the job shortly thereafter.

I did the majority of assessments for my ex's qualification that now allows her to earn over $100,000.

He's not the biological father of his teenage son.
His friend is.
And his wife's entire, very large family, knows.
There's been an ongoing joke about how his daughter looks just like him but his son looks nothing like him. Well, that's why.

My sister is a Trumper, conservative Christian. She has posted over and over again on FB about how she's anti abortion. Meanwhile my wife tells me when we fist started dating my sister was realllly drunk and confessed to my wife she had 2 abortions and to keep it a secret from me.

Anytime I see her post something about making abortion illegal I have to hold myself back from making an incriminating comment.

In a Betrayed Spouse support group, a newbie came in and spilled the tea on who her husband was (former judge, rising politician), who the AP was (very young intern), and took us on a 2hr journey of everything she knew about the affair and some of the things he did unethically. She never came back, but I daydreamed about getting revenge for her.

I know a former government minister cheated on his final University exams.

I work with upper-class children who have ADHD, dyslexia, and autism at a high-end tutoring center. I was close with one of the administrators, who told me right after she was passed over for a promotion that the assessment scores were false. The students are assessed before and after the program, and their results are shown to their parents to prove that our (very expensive) program works.

Most of the students haven't actually improved. The issue is that their parents think they do because of the scores. The owner of the center is under the impression that these students are magically doing amazing without realizing what's actually going on. If it came out, she might lose her entire business.

What's more messed up is that the students also think they've done better than they actually have. When they have state testing at school, they're shocked to find that they're not doing as well as they did on their assessment at our center. It's because their scores are falsely inflated.
