“I Basically Stalked Him”: 50 People Share Secrets They’ve Kept From Their Significant Others

You helped make the proposal better without them ever knowing. Lovely.

Awwwwe cute

my husband accidently sent a text meant for his friend to me saying he was going to have brunch with my parents bc he wants to propose. funny part is wen i looked at his phone it didnt show the text in our text convo on his phone only on his friends convo. he mustve been texting us at the same time and i got a copy of that text. a few days later my parents say they r going food shopping come back without groceries and avoid me completely. they go out again and actually come back with groceries the 2nd time. an hour later he picks me up we go to where we met and he pulls a pokeball out of his pocket opens it to show me the ring inside and says "i choose you. will you choose me?". the best part about it all i had completely forgotten about the text so i was completely oblivious to everything and was still suprised in the end. he still has no idea about the text i somehow got. i havent told him mainly bc i forgot about it and was still suprised in the end. we will b married 3 years this october and i will forever say best pokemon style propsal ever. he always did joke about how he caught a wild (my name) in a parking lot. so that joke on top of how he proposed and wat he said is just brilliant. the ring was perfect too. a diamond with 2 little amythests on each side with a vine like design. he took the fact im a pokemon fan and my favorite color purple into considerstion wen he proposed. i couldnt have asked for a better husband hes just perfect in every way.

Sweetest evah.

Beautiful story. But does anyone else have an issue with "you told me to dress up"? Anyone else think that people shouldn't tell their partners what to wear? Of course, if you're taking them somewhere as a surprise it would be important to mention "we're going somewhere fancy where people will be dressed up" or "the restaurant we're going to has a smart/casual dress code" or "My family all dress as Smurfs every Christmas, so you might want to wear something blue to fit in". But who "dresses up" to go to the beach, especially a secluded beach? And what if she put on stilettos? Unless of course, he was planning on taking pictures and knew she'd want to be dressed up for that, but with nobody to take the photo, the tripod might be a giveaway.

Yup.

Inlaws might be the most common reason for divorce.

Yeah, my parents have been getting along great since her mother and his dad died. I loved my grandma, but they were both a******s, no question.

Right there with you. MIL is still alive and I am at whit's end.

Sometimes it is best to keep quiet for the sake of peace another times it’s OK to speak up; context is everything.

This is terrifying to me. I have a baby brother and I can’t bear to imagine this happening

I did the same thing 😞 My mom just died and I was out of my head with grief. My brother and I were at the venue arranging her memorial when he looked at me and said “where’s the baby?” I gasped and ran out to the car where I had left my 8 month old daughter in the seat. You never think it can happen to you but it does. I was hysterical and my brother had to calm me down. It was 15 years ago and it still haunts me. Thank you for all sharing your stories and not outright shaming people.

There is new technology to help prevent this! Lots of SUVs now notify you to check rear seats if there's been movement in them or if back doors have opened at anytime since the vehicles been running

Get into the habit of looking back before leaving a place. A bench, a restaurant, a bus seat, doesn't matter. You'll be surprised how much it helps

My grandmother accidentally left me in a store at closing. I was in early elementary school, maybe 2nd grade. The store closed, the staff left, the doors locked. I was there alone for 90 minutes before she remembered. Thankfully, she was an active duty police officer and could get everything handled with ease. But, if a trailblazing female police officer with 30 years of law enforcement experience and 45 years of parenting experience could do it, we all can. Nobody is immune. I was fine. The store gave me two books, a toy, and $10 shopping spree for candy. Apparently, I just sat reading quietly until they could get the doors unlocked for me.

that's hilarious but bordering on evil :)

Being single, I can teach her a few infallible tricks to open a jar.

She loosens lids to come off when you pick it up

Eww. Idk what the tone is with this one, but sounds icky to me.

Sounds like a toxic relationship.

how very sweet of you :)

So dear and selfless.

$25-30 USD a week or biweekly would pay a monthly utility bill. Don't put it in a pocket, pay a bill or put in a savings account.

I wonder if she knows and says nothing because it's so sweet.

You gorgeous, selfless person

So glad that didn't go as planned. I'm glad you're still in this world!!

I haven't been farted at (while awake) by Audi yet, but Bouche's are toxic. Audi will go over and sniff at her butt like he's trying to figure out what happened. If you need any other farts, just let us know. Bouche will be happy to provide.

In a 5 year period I have gained one daughter and lost my dad and my cat and my husband all separated in about 1-2 years apart from each other but still and my youngest daughter just got a blood transfusion from being severely anemic. Also before my youngest daughter I had depression bad I tried to kill myself many times. Still have depression but I have to live for my girls. So I am still alive now

Please stay focused on the fart whenever you feel down, turn it into a game lightning his wee farts up n trying not to laugh

I'm so glad you're in a good place - thank goodness! Im also glad that he, well, farted. ♥️

Reverse gaslighting, nice
