“He Threw It Out The Window”: 58 People Share The Things Their Partners Don’t Know They Know

My bf loves to look up shoes for good deals and I always browse with him. When it was my birth month he would ask for my size and such and be all “curious” but would say he’s just wondering what the prices are. A box came to my front office and he told me to pick it up since he didn’t want the office to be closed before he got home. He ALWAYS lets me open his packages and so I did with this and saw a pair of shoes in my size haha I taped it up so fast and he came home without a clue. I looked completely surprised the day of my birthday and he was super happy about it so I just never bring it up. He tells me everything so this is about as saucy as it gets.

Not my current SO, but a year and a bit ago i dated (read as: had an open relationship with) a girl. The reason why I thought it was an open relationship was because I knew she was also sleeping with her best friend. A few months pass and she wants to get more serious, I ask about her friend and how he took the news and she tries to act like she doesn't know what I'm talking about. Turns out she was "cheating" on me the whole time while she thought we were "exclusive". Clearly that "relationship" didn't last long.

He smokes when out with friends.

I had some suspicions as he would come home smelling like smoke and, when asked about it, he would just say "Yeah a couple of the guys were smoking." I found out for sure when, on my way home from work one night, I ended up driving by the lounge he and his friends were at... and there was my fiance taking a long drag of his cigarette.

I honestly don't care (its actually pretty cute that he's hiding it badly)... but I guess he hides it because I mentioned early in our relationship that my ex smoked inside his apartment and the smell of it on his sheets turned me off.

Edit: It may be hard to believe... but there was no stalking or spying. He goes out every Friday night with his man friends and sometimes goes to a lounge that is on the street I use on my drive home from work. On Friday nights as I pass by the lounge I look over to see if he's outside so I can wave. Nothing creepy, I promise.

That he's gay and seeing someone behind my back.

We weren't official, technically... But, I know, dude.

he visits my blog every morning and every night. one time I mentioned a post I made and he pretended he hadn't seen it "oh I haven't looked at your blog in a few days... but I mean if you want me to, I'll go read it." I think it's really cute. (and sometimes I blog little things about him as if I think he won't see just to make him smile).

My husband thinks I can't hear him fart when he's smoking cigarettes on the back porch. It's kind of endearing.

She enables her brother she swears she wrote off. Hes been in out of rehab so often they had to replace the door.

My ex cheated for the better part of our relationship. I knew about most of it but stuck it out for the kid. At one point she stayed at a friend's house for a few days, no reason why. Couple months later while going in her wallet I notice an ultrasound with date stamps for around the time she was gone. I assumed she had an abortion during that time. I finally worked up the courage to leave that "relationship" about a year later for many reasons. I have never talked to her about that. And don't ever plan to. But can't help wonder if it could have been mine? Probably not but you never know.

My current SO told my best friends (and mutual friends of us both) that she was planning on kicking me out of our apartment because she wants to live with one of them and that she also wants to start dating the other one when she's kicked me out. Thankfully they warned me months back and so I've been stashing money and preparing to move out myself along with their help.

My wife loves sweet tea. Whenever we go to the store, we always get a gallon of Milos sweet tea. She drinks it so much to the point where I get none. Every so often, I buy 2 gallons of sweet tea. One of the brand she hates (because it tastes bad) and the other of Milos (which I hide from her until the coast is clear) and when she is at work, I pour out the nasty sweet tea, and pour the Milos into that falling, resulting in her never drinking it. Kind of a jerk move but she will not stop drinking all the sweet tea before I get some.

Former SO. He was a closet alcoholic. I knew when he was drinking, I knew when he was drunk. Even called him out on it from time to time (never ended good for me so I stopped)
He swears he's sober now but I don't believe him. He told me he was sober before.

I knew what he was going to get me for Christmas in like November last year because he was showing me a list of what he was going to get our friends and I saw my name.

My wife tries to hide her farts by going into the bathroom and sitting on the toilet to do it. She thinks turning on the fan masks the sound but we have thin walls and I can always hear them loud and clear.

She'd be mortified if she found out I know. I think it's hilarious.

My SO has some substantial debt from a couple poor decisions right after high school that she thinks I don't know about. She's not the best with money, and she doesn't know how much our apartment or any of the bills related to it are. We're evenly splitting the bill across all our roommates, but she hasn't paid her full share in about a year and a half. She thinks she has, because I've been the one telling her how much she owes each month, but I've been paying about $300 for her on top of my portion and the portion for my siblings. But she's too proud to ask for help with her debt, and I don't want to make her feel insecure by drawing her attention to it, so I've been doing things behind the scenes to help her out.

That his best friend since college, whose wife just had baby no. 2, just broke off the “emotional” affair he was having with a coworker. I’m glad my husband was a good friend, I know he counseled his friend to make the right decision for him and his family, and the friend took his advice and broke it off about a month before the baby was born. I’m hoping it at works out for them, and I’m so so so proud of my husband for being such a solid and stable guy.

She was engaged with her toxic ex for a short while before they eventually broke up. Guy I used to work with who’s good friends with her ex told me. She never told me. I guess she’s embarrassed and I let it go. Never really worried about it.

For Christmas I bought my husband a DVD of a concert he went to. While I’m at work he unwraps it, watches it, then rewraps it before I get home.
