Keeping another person's secret is a double-edged sword. On one hand, when people confide in us, we take it as an act of intimacy and it can bring the two of us closer, but on the other, the more sensitive the information (the more we feel we have to hide it on behalf of the confidant), the heavier it becomes for us.
So in an attempt to lighten the load everyone carries on their back, two Redditors asked them to share it. u/I_LIKE_YOU_ and u/daddydempy both created posts that invite other users to share some of the darkest secrets they know that could ruin someone else's life. And many have — here are some of the most popular replies.

My younger sister was r*ped by her boyfriend, forced to give birth to his daughter, and then later killed when she tried to leave. Their daughter is 17, currently acing her tests, and believes she's mine and my wife's daughter. I will never tell her.
I understand trying to protect her but just pray she never decided to do a DNA test. Finding out you have been lied to your whole life and your real mom essentially erased would be earth shattering.
I'm sure they'll tell her when she's ready. Being told your mother was murdered and your father is a murderer is a lot for a kid to take in.
Load More Replies...It sounds like the daughter is at the right age to be told the truth. It would be better it came from her family rather than by accident. It surely can't harm the family if it was spoken of now.

Just tell her she is adopted. No need to go into the details. But don't continue to lie.
You need to tell her. If only because she WILL find out, with all the DNA tests readily available these days. She also needs to know in case of diseases, that you (and especially your wife) are not genetically related.
Unless they have a really small family, odds are *someone*s going to let it slip at some point (at least that he's her uncle even if not the rest of it) and it would be better if that happened in a controlled fashion from her loving parents rather than from drunk Aunt Judy at a 4th of July BBQ.
Load More Replies...She's old enough to be told the truth, and she deserves to know her past. At least she's at an age where she can handle it, better than at 8yrs old being told "you remember that woman you met the other day, called auntie Mary? Well, she's actually your mother. Here, talk to her on the phone and tell her you love her". Blindsided like fuc*.
Wrong! She has a right to know! The important facts are that her mother died and that you and your wife took over as parents. She does not have to know about her father killing her mother.
The right decision, but I'm afraid the girl will have a lifelong feeling that something is wrong.
I know that my grandpa had a second family that nobody else in my family knows about.
My grandma on my dad's side of the family died when I was still very young, but my grandpa lived until I was in my early 20's and we were pretty close. At one point when I was about 13 or 14 he got very sick and we all thought it was the end. I was sitting and talking to him one day (he was in bed) and he fell asleep. He was on a lot of medication including painkillers so this wasn't a shock. A few minutes later he woke, but was disoriented and talking to me like I was someone else. He was apologizing to me about not being there, which made no sense. I put together the pieces and suspected he was talking about (or thought he was talking to) someone he had had an affair with.
So he pulls through that illness and a few years later he and I went on a weekend fishing trip. On that trip I asked him about what he was saying and what I suspected he was talking about. He confessed to me that in the late 1950's he and my grandma were going through a rough patch. He met this other woman and saw her off and on for about a year then she ended up getting pregnant. He would go see her when possible and gave her money to support the kid. My grandma, dad and aunt (my dad's sister) never knew about this and he asked me to keep this between us. Over the course of the weekend he explained how his life was basically a hell of his own creating because he was lying to two different women and trying to basically juggle two different families. He told me to never do what he had done.
I never told anyone then a handful of years later he died. The lawyer contacted me about his will and said there was a special clause in the will just for me. Basically I got control of his safe deposit box, but the lawyer was supposed to not tell anyone else about the box, it was private and just for me. In the regular will the grandkids (there were four of us in all) got $5,000 each. In the safe deposit box was a letter he wrote me telling me how he appreciated me keeping his confidence and how he was proud of the man I had grown to become. There was also $25,000 in cash. I wasn't sure what to do with it. At first I was excited, but then it felt like I was being paid for my silence and it made me kind of ill. After much deliberation I gave the money to a group that helps abused and runaway kids.
Of course it was no bribe, what would have been the use of that since he couldn't know if you would tell or not? I think it was simply his way of saying that he felt you were a little mor special than the rest. Giving it away to such a cause must have made him smile in his heaven; it proved you actually were special! Have a wonderful life!
Old guy in the shop near me years ago told me about his family in Sth Africa, He was Italian, to get to Australia he had to work in RSA for several years. He married and had several kids. His family here know nothing about it.
There was nothing in the will for the other kid? Did he even know his father died? So much missing info here. If possible I would have sought out that stepbrother of mine to see if he needed financial help before donating the money to anything else.
I was homeless as a teen. I sold weed, because I wasn't legally allowed to work at that age in my state, wasn't willing to steal (I wanted to earn my money, legal or not), and I wasn't willing to sell something more profitable, and ruin people's lives with addiction. So I was around a lot of crime, as a result. There's plenty of things that could have ruined lives if I had been willing to tell people, but I took the "you don't snitch" policy to heart. Except when it came to pedophiles, we regularly made exceptions for them, involving the police when we encountered them. Which was frequently. Anyway, I had a friend who was my age. Wasn't homeless, but might as well have been. We ran the streets together, partying and having fun. One night, we got jumped by an adult. I was 13-14, he was 15, and this grown man was on top of my 3rd friend (also 15), just hitting him in the face over and over again. So I pushed him off him and my friend hit him the the face with a skate board. That stopped him from attacking us any further, and we got out of there. The cops caught up with us, the guy pointed me out as the one that hit him with a skateboard, and I wasn't willing to put my friend in jail to free myself. I ended up locked up for a year and a half. I never regretted my decision, I always felt it was the right thing to do, but it did damage me mentally (children that age aren't capable of dealing with solitary confinement, let alone for a year and a half). And then my friend, the one who actually hit him, died in our 20's. And suddenly, that year and a half, became a huge percentage of his short life. And I'm so grateful I was able to give it to him.
wow... I'm sorry people have go through s**t like this, I have a single friend who did 8 yrs for his married brother.
What an incredibly enlightened and kind way to look at it. I hope this person’s life got better when they got out of jail.
Only one person should be in jail for this and it isn't either of the kids
My best friend's boyfriend (who I had known since I was three) was going to break up with her on Sunday night. He got in a motorcycle accident Sunday afternoon and passed away. This happened 3 years ago and she is still messed up about it because she loved him and they were still in a relationship when he passed, she still calls him her boyfriend.
It may or may not be, "definitely" is definitely the wrong word.
Load More Replies...Kind of the opposite here. My sister was heading out to dinner with her boyfriend when they got into a motorbike accident. He died from his injuries and my sister spent the next 3 years learning to walk again. What she doesn't know was that he came over the house the day before and and asked the family's permission to marry her. He was going to propose that night. The family decided that it would probably break her completely if she found out so they still haven't told her.
I would rather know, at least I wouldn't feel as sad and guilty that I survived.
I know a woman who lost her boyfriend when she was 17. They broke up some months before, but were still in the process of getting over it. The grief isn't less, maybe it's even worse. Nobody ever calls him her ex boyfriend, nor do I. Sometimes breaking up doesn't mean it's really over and I guess that was the case here, but we will never know.
Reminds me of one of the Hitchcock episodes. Woman loses husband in a skiing accident, body not found. For years after a good friend becomes her constant companion, but she keeps rejecting his proposals because her dead husband was the love of her life. After decades the body is finally discovered ina glacier, and on the body a memento (locket I think?) of another woman...
A friend I grew up with and recently reconnected with had sex with his wife's sister. He got her pregnant, she had the baby and the wife doesn't know the "niece" she's babysitting daily is her husband's child.
And OP, kinda. You know this and still consider the dude your friend? And you care more about what, that 'friendship' than telling the poor woman the truth?
Load More Replies...Yes, better now than later. It will come out eventually such as with genetic testing. The longer the deception, the worse the situation becomes.
Load More Replies...He got her pregnant? Was the sister raped? Was she drugged? No, they had sex and they got pregnant (so to speak). So is the sister planning to stay single? And as always: Poor kid!
I know a woman who was dating a child-free man. He was adamant about not ever having children while she was crazy about the opposite. She punctured condoms, stopped birth control (while pretending she never stopped) and lied about her period dates. Poor guy thought her birth control and the condoms he was using would keep him safe, but she got pregnant anyway. He doesn't know, he's miserable.
What a horrible thing for her to do. In this case, telling him may set him free. Or at least let him get out of that miserable relationship and possibly sue for rape. In some states removing birth control during sex without a partner's consent ( primarily aimed at stopping "steathing") counts as rape
I think in some places obtaining consent to sex through deception, like she did, also counts as rape.
Load More Replies...What an absolute asshole the woman is. I've got no sympathy for people who pull off stunts like this. She made two victims here, the guy and the child. The epitome of self-centeredness.
This is so awful. I will never understannd people who pressure their parner into having a child (or the opposite). At the vey least it's not a healthy environment to raise a kid in. Just leave and find someone who wants the same things.
This is called reproductive abuse and it is a crime in most states (if not all). Not only should he know, he should report it. Only about 15% of cases are ever reported and it rarely ends well for the victims- including the children.
That's one of the top three despicable things a person can do. Such a horrible person.
Very glad to see no comments (at least so far!) saying things like "Well, he should have gotten a vasectomy and made it permanent" or whatever. I have seen MANY similar comments on posts about women. The fact is that he should have bodily autonomy REGARDLESS and she should have respected his wishes REGARDLESS. Yes there was a way to make this more permanent on his part and NO it was not on him to undertake that. Let's apply that to all people, please, particularly the next time there's a story about a woman being attacked or abused and people start with "Well she could have left him" etc etc.
Tell him. He should take her to court. This is horrific, people would be screaming from the rooftops about it being abuse if it was a woman who didn't want to get pregnant and her BF tricked her into getting pregnant by poking holes in the condoms. Poor man.
I have three older sisters and one younger brother. When I was younger, about 11, I was supposed to be sleeping over at my aunt's house because my parents were at a wedding and knew they would probably come home drunk. Anyways I got upset with my cousin, so I snuck out of the house and walked home. I was sleeping when I was awoken by my parents arguing in the living room. I was always a nosey child so I sat up listening and I heard my dad say "Why would you do this to me, after I helped you fight in court for [my oldest sister's name] then helped you raise her and love her as my own" then I heard my mom tell him to never bring that up again then I heard a door slam. Up until then I always thought we all had the same father, even to this day 12 years later I'm the only one out of my siblings that know my oldest sister is not my father's biological daughter. I don't even think my sister knows. I just couldn't bring myself to ever tell her. I don't even think my parents know I know. They didn't even know I was home that night. I pretended to just be getting home later on that morning. I have never told anyone.
As someone who grew up in a situation similar to your sister- TELL HER NOW! She will eventually find out and when she does she may wish to find her biological father. IF like me, she finds him too late, I don't think it's outside of the question for her to hold it against you for not telling her sooner.
If he doesn't tell her, she will never know he knew.
Load More Replies...I'd reconsider wanting to tell her, because this news will be of no benefit to anyone, probably.
What about medical reasons. Also it's better to find out from a family member than a doctor.
Load More Replies...My family has a similar story regarding my eldest brother. I don't know of he knows, but my parents haven't told him. I know because of an argument between myself and my parents.
Tell her! I didn’t find out I had a different father until I was 54. Found my birth father who died 7 months before I found him via dna and ancestry dot com. I would feel so hurt and betrayed if one of my other siblings knew the truth and kept it from me. It would make it far worse if it was too late for me to have met my birth father. Tell your sister everything! Be loyal to her, not your lying parents.
My parents didn't tell my sister and I that we were only half sisters until I was 13/14 and she was 17/18. I actually had to find out from my sister when we were on the phone (I lived in El Paso, TX at the time and she is still living in Germany)
Glossing over the fact that OP snuck home, and no one noticed? Bad babysitters😅
My mother starved my grandmother to death for her inheritance.
I'm sorry, but this is a horrific murder. I wonder what kind of childhood you had (hopefully a good one!) with a mother capable of SUCH things.
Wonder if grandmother was so cruel with the mother... because the mother clearly didn't love or care for anyone besides money.
Load More Replies...Something like that happened to my uncle - it´s not always that black or white or easy to proof: my uncle had a physically and neurologically degenerative illness and his "best friend" and legal guardian hired a young unqualified nurse to look after him (and keep us from getting to see him in the last weeks- we where in the state of planing further action). My uncle had also caught a hospital germ and had - as we later learned - constant diarrhea in the end. Now the young guy looking after him didn´t like the constant mess therefore just let the feeding slide somewhat and my uncle was only skin and bones already. Had to be brought to the hospital, eventually, where my mother got to see him one last time and got the chance to say good bye with him being conscious and communicating with her to some extend. My uncle died the next day. The doctor very clearly said that he died of starvation - but due to the additional conditions you could never have build a case
A good friend of mine is Indian and gay, which she knows her family won't accept. She about to have an arranged marriage to a man, who is also gay. Neither of there families know the truth and are excited about the upcoming wedding. The grooms boyfriend is part of the wedding party. They plan to have children via ivf at some point.
At least the couple themselves can live freely with each other. Not the best case scenario, obviously...
Hopefully a lifelong friendship too. Depending on how long they are married, hopefully they will come to love each like family and have each other as support.
Load More Replies...Ok, for an arranged Indian marriage, this is like the plot to some awful British-Bollywood comedy, but it honestly seems like a setup that will work well for both parties. An arranged marriage that's actually a happy occurrence for the Bride & Groom, and they've even got the 'but our families expect grandbabies' problem already sorted, huzzah!
Sad that the families wouldn’t be able to accept them, but the arrangements sound fair enough
This is a best case scenario for some people, sadly
My boyfriend's first girlfriend's mother would always try to hook up with her daughter's boyfriends. But that's not the weirdest part.
After the mom tried putting the moves on him and he barricaded himself in the bathroom to wait for his GF to save him, girlfriend told him in the car that it was normal for her mom to have sex with her boyfriends and vice-versa (mom was a single parent). Not only that, but she and her mom would have threesomes together with the boyfriends.
Somehow there's twenty versions of this story on every porn site (or so I'm told); that's how realistic this story is.
Well there was famous mother-daughter porn actress duo in my country. I watched them in some late night interview and they didn’t have a brain cell between them. They exclusively *starred* in the same movies.

My girlfriend's sister confided in me that her father used to molest her when they were little. She said she saved my girlfriend from it because she was old enough to know what was going on. My girlfriend doesn't know, and her dad visited recently and took us all out to dinner. Super uncomfortable.
Cut him off. Tell him you know, and if he doesn't stop contacting his daughters, threaten to tell your girlfriend.
The sad truth is, if he did it to one daughter he probably did it to the other. They were most likely both molested and are keeping it secret to "protect" each other. I think OP needs to get his girlfriend's sister to have a chat.
I would find out what the statute of limitations is on this. The sister could report him and have him arrested if too much time hasn't gone by. If she can't do that she should at least tell the OP's girlfriend; she has a right to know, especially if they decide to have children.
Should try to convince the sister to contact the police, and knock him out of he approaches you.
Those b@~tards should not think they have gotten away with this hideous crime. Let him know you know. Even anonymously. Encourage your girlfriend's sister to get some counselling asap. She should turn him in, once she feels capable of it. There is no statute of limitations on this.
My mom is the most straight laced, uptight person you can imagine and she works very high level financial jobs for the government. If you looked up "professional woman" in the dictionary it would probably just be a picture of her. What no one else knows is that she has a tattoo on the back of her leg of a bear with penises instead of legs- like where it's legs would be there are just massive d**ks. She wears tights or pants to cover it all the time, as far as I know I'm the only person that knows about it. She was a very wild teenager and met up with an "aspiring tattoo artist" (aka rando with a tattoo gun) in a hotel room to get a tattoo of a bear when she was 16- the guy got a little excessively creative and gave her a bear with d**ks for legs. It is so vulgar that if anyone saw it I think there's a good chance she's lose her job, or at least have some serious explaining to do. I once asked her why she doesn't get it removed and she says it's her "symbol to her stupid youth".
After reading about the girl who has threesomes with her mum, I'll side with the bear penis legs!
Love the "symbol of youth"-part. Thats really what it means to own the story of your life.
That's weird combo but she could just have removed a part of the tattoo. Just cover the bear.
My friend comes from a pretty conservative family, which is fine, but some of them can be pretty judgmental. Anyway, after knowing her for a few years I found that her sister got pregnant at 16 and was shipped away to have the baby and have it adopted, and then she came home. They don't talk about it and act like it didn't happen.
For me that was always something that I'd only seen in movies or read about. She has no idea I know. I was told by a mutual friend.
This is almost exactly what happened to me. I was adopted at 8 days old and am now over 50. I just found my birth parents after a DNA test I did after cancer stint. My bio dad was going into military. When he got back on first leave he had a ring and everything. Turns out my bio moms parents convinced her to put me up for adoption while he was gone.
This was normal years back. We called it 'going up north for a while'.
my aunt was sent away ... same situation ... in the 60s ... she tried to find the child years later ... never did .. all because my Grandmother wasn't going to have that again ... my Mom was a pregnant bride at 16 ... nope Grandma didn't wa nt that again ... my aunt and the father did get married but never had any further children
My grandmother married a divorcee. He developed Alzheimers and is now under nursing home care. She has since rewritten his will to financially exclude the daughters he had in his previous marriage and take all the money for herself. I know this because I overheard her talking with my aunt (she did not know I was in the house). I LOATHE her for doing it. It degrades her wholesome, grandmotherly status, and transforms her into an extremely immoral character in my life, but understand I can't say ANYTHING, or the entire family would spiral into more chaos than it's already in.
I don't know how I feel about this. OP is letting their grandmother destroy the lives of those women just to save themselves the drama.
This could be remedied by an anonymous message to the daughters to tell them to ask for a copy of the will. If OP's grandmother doesn't know OP is aware of this she wouldn't suspect her of the 'leak' but the daughters would at least have a chance to contest it.
Load More Replies...I'd say something. This woman is taking advantage of that man. If she isn't his POA then I'm sure what she has done is illegal.
problem is, she probably is POA so knows she can get away with it.
Load More Replies...You need to SAY SOMETHING. It’s not just immoral, it’s a CRIMINAL act
People who take advantage of those who are sick and frail in order to steal their money are some of the worst kinds of scum mankind has ever produced. Even more when they're family.
She can't change the will of someone else, especially not when that person is not of sound mind. You better say something.
Unfortunately she is most likely the power of attorney and has been since he got dementia so she can legally do it, but morally it's so reprehensible.
Load More Replies...That will can probably be contested if the signature was manipulated out of someone with Alzheimer's.
The daughters will most DEFINITELY find out come will reading time, and (if they're like most people) won't take it lying down. It's very easy to recognize if a will was re-written to exclude people, and that's all the evidence they need to drag your grandmother to court and deplete her ill-gotten inheritance for the rest of her life
Yes, do say something. A crime is being committed and if you dont speak, you are being an accomplice
Have a friend who had an affair with her older married boss and got pregnant, didn't realize it until she was too far along to get an ab*rtion. Boss tried to get her to agree to get an illegal ab*rtion (basically he "knew a guy," said guy was not an actual doctor working out of an actual clinic) which she flat out refused. Boss then ended up pressuring her to give the baby up for adoption ("I'll fire you and ruin your life if you don't," "I'll have you thrown out of your apartment" and other threats were made; this guy was a Big Name in our town and she took the threats seriously) and she eventually agreed. He's been sending her money every month since to keep her quiet about it.
It's not - look at your own post. The BP algorithms aren't doing that.
Load More Replies...Minus the dickwad boss, this is a preview of what abortion rights will be in about 1/2 of US states within a few years. "Didn't happen to have a pregnancy test within a few days of your first missed period? Sucks to be you! Here's a number of ridiculously awful options none of which involve any sort of support if/when the child is born. Remember our motto: "The GOP: We'll make you have the kid, but then you're on your own, harlot!"
A lot of times now when adoptees turn 18 if they can't get answers from all of the online mutual reunion registries they will turn to the DNA kits. If the boss has any close family members signed up it wouldn't be hard to find him.
It's not BP - look at your own post. It's in the original Reddit post, most likely, the BP algorithms aren't doing that.
Load More Replies...Hey BP, you maybe wanna not censor the name of a medical procedure that can save people's lives? Just saying.
The only one whose life was truly ruined in this situation is the poor baby's. I hope they never know how horrible their birth parents were.
So why did she have an affair with her boss? Hoping to be the new Mrs? Hopefully the child has a good life with loving parents!
Perhaps he used his authority to pressure her into it? I hate women who automatically think other women are sluts. Perhaps it helps them keep up the notion of their husband/father as saint rather than just an asshole. Like this Montana judge who blamed the 14 year old female student for seducing her teacher (https://www.cnn.com/2013/08/28/justice/montana-judge-profile/index.html). He was the one in a position of power, not the kid.

When I was in my late teens I found a fishing tackle box in our garage with some personal effects and a su*cide note inside. I never told anyone but 30+ years I asked my Mom over coffee to tell me the story of her life.
She was given up by her mother as a toddler and raised by her Dad, Benny*. He worked as a seaman on boats on the Intracoastal Waterway of the southern US so she often stayed with friends and relatives while he was away. When she was about 14 she was orphaned and lived with whomever would have her. One time a foster family moved out of their house, leaving her behind, but the new owners of the home allowed her to stay with them.
Eventually she settled in with the married couple that I came to know as my grandparents, Archie & Edith. They were relatives of hers and did not have children of their own. Archie was a Merchant Marine beginning in WWII and Edith was a homemaker. The next property over from theirs was owned by a good family friend that I called Uncle Joe. Uncle Joe & my Mom's real father, Benny, worked together offshore.
Reveal: Mom explained that the tackle box I found was my real grandfather's (Benny) but she thought the su*cide note was fake. She explained that Edith & Uncle Joe were lovers while Archie was sailing the seven seas. She found them out and told her Dad, Benny, who allegedly threatened to out them to Archie. She said that Uncle Joe probably killed my real grandfather to hide the affair.
Exec Summary: The people who I thought were my maternal grandparents were merely distant relatives. My "grandmother" had an affair with an "uncle", who was actually of no relation to me, which culminated in the murder of my real grandfather who was about to squeal on them.
TL;DR: My mother was raised by the people who made her an orphan by murdering her father. JB
Thank you for the summary, it was a little mind bending trying to sort that out (in my head anyway)
That is so tragic: "One time a foster family moved out of their house, leaving her behind, but the new owners of the home allowed her to stay with them." I cant imagine.
That can't be normal, surely? Wouldn't the authorities get involved?

My best friend was molested continuously through her childhood by her brother, who is ten years older than her. Her parents have no idea, and they're constantly pressuring her to write to her brother, who's currently in prison for meth.
Say this. Say it out loud, support your best friend. Cut off parents if they stand up for brother. This is a continuation of the violence.
do you mean tell the friend's parents behind the friend's back, or try to convince the friend to tell them herself?
Load More Replies...I'm no expert, but one piece of advice, is perhaps for her to write it all out in a letter/record a video to her parents first. I've learned the hard way that doing things face to face with upsetting news can cause people to fly off the handle, becoming aggressive and abusive to the person telling the story. I don't want her to have to deal with that on top of getting this awful secret off her chest, just incase her parents react badly in the first instance.
Her parents have no idea? I think it's time she sits down with them and lets them know. She needs to get into counseling as well.
How painful. I hope your friend is getting help coping with the trauma.
I would tell the parents before they get really old. I had some things to say to my folks about my brother, but by the time I started thinking they should know, my dad was getting dementia and sometimes didn't even know who his son was. Then he died. Now my mom is 92 and not processing emotions very well, so I probably won't tell her. Then there's my brother's daughter. I'll probably won't tell her.
I'd get the prison address and search for another prisoners name to send a letter outing the brother as a paedophile, they don't last long in general population.
I'm glad I get to dump this somewhere: I had this friend, John, for years... One of my best friends. We rode the same bus, I would walk to his house across the train tracks. We grew up together. The first night I ever tried cocaine, I tried it with John. 5AM, we'd been talking for hours. John decided it was confession time. He disclosed that he'd had homicidal ideations, for years, and fantasized about raping women. He told me about how he used to torture small animals... He told me that when he was 11 or 12 he had sex (multiple times) with the family dog. When he told me, he'd had this 'friends with benefits' who liked being pretend-raped, and didn't mind being humiliated by John... Who liked to put his finger in her butt and wipe poop on her face. John is now married with three kids.... I saw on Facebook; we never spoke again after that night.
That is just sick. I hope you can sleep at night, knowing what he might do to his wife, kids, pets and anyone else.
I hope you know you can't reply to people on Reddit from a completely different website.
Load More Replies...John is a complete sociopath and will probably kill someone. Those feelings never go away.
Anybody who tortures animals deserves a long and painful death. Today.
Wtf this isn’t the kind of s**t you keep quiet about. Raping the dog?? Possibly killing people. You’re as worse as John is
Well... hmmmmm. OK keep tabs on crimes in his area and if weird serial murders start to spike make a call to the local PD to have him checked out.
One time at a friends house i went into his closet to jump out and scare him when he came back to the room. Found out he has bottles and jugs stored in there for peeing. I think he was just being weird and did this while gaming and it got to the point that he cant go unless its into a bottle
He could be suffering from mental illness. Maybe you could reach out to him or someone who could help.
no, its a typical thing with some people. not a mental illness, but when gaming, you have to wait hours on end for item drops and e.t.c. Leaving the screen for a second at that time can cause you to miss out and lose hours on end. Though your right, it could be that too.

One of my relatives was a musician with a very successful band. Then he dropped dead. The family put out word that he died of a heart attack. And that story stuck. To this day his fans, even his fellow band members think that's how he died. In reality, he dropped dead of a heroin overdose. Was shooting himself up in the bathroom when he ODed.
I empathize, but partly disagree. On the one hand, I'm with you that death is a personal and private matter and nobody wants undue shame brought on their lost loved one. On the other hand, this is a social issue that's important to get out in the open to add to the larger conversation and awareness. For many people, it takes affecting someone they admire to bring topics like suicide, drug abuse, sexual abuse etc. to the forefront of their mind. It's important to be reminded of how prevalent these demons are.
Load More Replies...That's cool. I personally don't understand the let's give every detail of a celebrities death to the public. They can just say died suddenly of heart failure. They shouldn't HAVE to disclose that it was heart failure to drugs or alcohol.
Caro Caro: Even if it would serve to warn his heroin user friends of the possible consequences of his using? Sometimes all people can see is that someone is "part of a successful band" and "living the life"; as opposed to knowing that this person lead a troubled life, and their poor chooses(time and time again) ultimately cut their life short.
For people curious, keep in mind the writer didn't say the band was famous. There are a lot of successful bands with a good fan base, but aren't well known. Likewise there's area fame. The BoDeans, Replacements, Material Issue, The Suburbs are midwest bands. I imagine they are/were well known, but won't presume everyone would know them. Just a thought to lessen some curiosity, I guess.
It's ok, everyone knows he OD'd. Young musician dies of "heart attack", lol yeah and I'm the king of France.
When we had a "problem employee" my boss had one of his kids call in death threats to the employee to keep them from coming to work.

Worked for a credit union as a teller when I was younger, the town my branch was located in was very far from my town(never ran into a familiar face). Until one day a mutual friend's father walks in (has no idea who I am), this family is by no means well off, or so I thought. The father had three accounts that equaled out to almost a million dollars. Obviously I started doing my research and found out he was hiding his money from his family and they had no idea he had all this money. My guess he inherited the money because they never had new cars, lived very middle class, and had basic jobs. He purposely had this account almost an hour away from their home town so no one would know/see him is what I imagine. Pretty f**ked... One thing I learned after being a teller for some odd years. People are very sneaky with their money.
Is it legal for you to do that research? God, I can't imagine knowing someone who worked in a bank and finding out they knew the ins and outs of my finances.
No it's not legal to do research. Yes you know what's in their accounts bit that's where it should stop. Being nosy was the reason
Load More Replies...What do you mean by "Obviously I started doing my research..? " What gave you the right to go snooping quite literally into other peoples business ? You could get fired for this and more.
Bank employees are bound by confidentiality. It's none of your business, and unethical to "research" someone's finances. Shame on you.

A coworker bragged (at work) about losing his virginity the night of his bachelor party but his wife still doesn't know and thinks they lost their virginity to each other on their wedding night. It's a VERY big deal to her and would most likely end in their divorce if she ever found out.
The virginity thing set aside, how could it be not a big deal if your fiancé cheats on you at their bachelor party?
Don't worry, it will end in divorce anyway. Like every marriage of big empty gestures
I wonder though, if she's so anti sex-before-marriage, surely she would be anti divorce too? Especially if it's for religious reasons.
Load More Replies...She's going to find out at some point. A dude who brags about that sort of s**t at work is not the sort of guy who is smart enough to not get caught eventually/
He cheated, and lied about something very important to her that was the foundation of their marriage. Her world is based on lies and will crash down, better now than 30yrs down the line. Tell her.
You know, you are not obligated to keep a secret like this. The husband himself TOLD people, in this case a co-worker, that he did that: he cheated on his fiancé THE NIGHT BEFORE THEIR WEDDING. I may or may not seek her out to tell her, but if it ever came up I would definitely not keep his secret for him.
Some Brainiac's seem to think that it is their last great chance to get laid, THAT, combined with copious amounts of Alcohol fries the rest of the brain and it doesn't think out of respect to the Upcoming Bride, it thinks out of instinct, and as most women know, when a man has an urge, they can be quite single minded and single focused.
My friend's mom hooked up with an off-Broadway actor and got pregnant with him. She married her boyfriend and played him off as the boyfriend's kid. My friend doesn't know, but my mom does. She told me just in case something happens to her, so someone else knows the secret and can tell my friend if necessary sometime.
Friend: "You know, sometimes I wonder where I got my acting talent from!"
Tell the boyfriend, he deserves to know he's being tricked into loving and raising someone else's child. Your friend is selfish and cruel, and you're a coward for not standing up to her and telling the boyfriend what's going on. What about the kid getting to find out one day their dad isn't their dad? Unfair to all involved.
The boyfriend probably already accepted paternity so he'll have to support the kid. He should break up with her for being so shitty.

After a long discussion with my uncle about money would make you happy, my uncle showed me (only me) his bank account, while many from my family was together with us at the table. He would only show me, if i wouldn't ever tell, what number i saw. I have never told anyone.
(I think) the number was huge enough, to think that it is f**ked up, that he lives like he does.
Uncle clearly disagrees, preferring to live however he lives. Many people winning life-changing lottery amounts lose every friend and connection they have, because they are suddenly seen as ATMs; then they 'must' move to a much richer neighbourhood where they don't make any connections as these are typically more distant socially. Plus they suddenly 'must' fit in and spend much more time and money on clothes and appearances. Uncle may be right.
Best thing you can do if you ever win really big money is just disappear with your family. Really big money will make even the nicest friend into someone willing to take it from you and evil people will easily do worse. You can always reach out to people in your life you want to help after you and your family are secure.
Load More Replies...I read this three times and don't understand it. He has some money but doesn't spend it?
Why get more of everything when you already have what you really need?
The guy chooses to live a simple life and not show off his wealth and I can't say I blame him, when people know you have money they act different especially family members they usually view you as a wallet and will guilt trip you into handing over money.
His bank account is high because he lives the way he does. It's his life. It's his money to not spend or spend as he chooses. And look at you. Being all judgy and s**t. You didn't give him that money so what makes you think you should have any say in how he uses it? Just think if he had shown that amount to all the many family members that had been at that table. Then they too would have all been judging him and probably looking at him as a potential cash cow. Always trying to hit him up for money with some sob story. The best thing you can do is to forget you ever saw anything.
My girlfriend's mom seduced my girlfriend's sister's boyfriend, who was also hitting on my girlfriend at the time. Her mom sent nudes to the boy as well as wrote smut about him and my girlfriend. (confusing, right?) In other words: mom sends nudes to daughter's boyfriend, writes smut between boyfriend and OTHER daughter.
What is with this modern trend of women trying to sleep with very young men or even partners of their children? Are they so physically insecure about their appearance and self-worth? Is it an attempt to replace the love/affection/respect they're not getting from their partner? I just don't get it. I saw a very tall cute guy at the busstop this morning, for a couple of seconds my mind went "oooh....very tasty....i wonder if he's single" and as I looked to his hand to see if there was a ring, I noticed that despite the beard on his face, his hands were very youthful, like 15yr olds hands. I realized I was perving on a much younger age-inappropriate male, and in a split second all sexual attraction to him completely died, he became as sexual to me as a table lamp. Am I missing something regarding these other women?
is not a modern trend, it has always happened. is a little naiv to think that this is a new thing...the only difference is that women are a bit more open about their sexuality than before, when those things could get a woman in big trouble...and the younger partner thing goes for all kinds of people.

My friend's darling father is actually the head of an organised crime gang and organised the shooting dead of one of the heads of a major criminal gang in Ireland. My uncle, who was in prison, told me this (I've a feeling he's still somewhat involved in crime as well) and apparently it's becoming common knowledge among gangland Dublin to the detriment of my friend's father, who is a very respectable (and nice to meet) man. According to my uncle he'll be killed within six months once someone else fancies being the boss.
My friend constantly talks up her father and now I'm beginning to see it as some form of overcompensating. I wonder should I come clean and tell her I know what's going on (or maybe she doesn't know at all).
UNfriend! UNFRIEND! Do not stay friends with someone like that. Even if she doesn't seem to be involved herself, other criminals will get her involved, as an accomplice, collateral damage, kidnapping, etc. It's not safe.
This is not at all true. There are MANY cases of kids of crime bosses having no idea, or they know but are never involved.
Load More Replies...Yeah you should slowly start backing away from the relationship. Don't say anything to her. She doesn't know because if she DID know something her life could be at risk. AND if you tell her and then if questioned about where she got her information YOUR life could be at risk.
Some people attract disaster. Once you recognise them, be nice but start slowly distancing... like over a few months. Remain polite but avoid meetings, and don't respond to favour requests. If you don't take this advice you end up getting sucked into their drama/disaster. I know this because I live in one of the most dangerous cities on earth. Disaster magnet -> avoid.
Let's put it this way. If you don't see them going to work, and you don't see the source of income, but there's a flashy lifestyle... it's mafia, keep as far away as possible.

Load More Replies...My brother had an affair with one of my friends mums. She used to give him a lift to work when he was 18 years old, and she started being suggestive on one drive so they pulled over and you know what. This continued for a long time, over six months. She ended up getting obsessed with him and he blocked her on all social media and his phone and basically buried his head in the sand. Her husband is a huge skin head scary guy that owns one of the pubs, and her son is a lifelong friend of mine. None of them know. He only told me as she, seemingly, didn’t tell anyone. It’s pretty weird having such a weighted secret
My boyfriend told me that at one point he was going to break up with his ex but then she told him she was pregnant so he stayed with her. Then she had a miscarriage but he stayed. One day they were arguing and she let it slip that she lied from the start and was never pregnant nor had a miscarriage. My mom cheated on my dad at some point. I over heard my parents arguing once and they brought that up. I don't know when or to what extent but it happened.
Men should take control of their own reproductive system and this wouldn't happen... easy!
To the boyfriend: YOU do the birth control if you don’t want a pregnancy scare. To parents: talk it out. If you decided to move past it, move past it. Don’t keep bringing it up again. Another conversation might be needed to really clear the air.
See the one above where the woman punctured condoms and stopped the birth control.

One of my brother's military friends sexually assaulted me while my brother, his friend, and one of my friends were hanging out playing pool and drinking. My brother knows because I told him the night it happened. My family also knows. The dude is married and has three kids. Initially my brother was furious and talked about shooting the guy, but now they're friends again and the reasoning he gave me was "everybody cheats." Except none of it was consensual and I'm not a piece of s**t. His wife showed up in my "People You May Know" on Facebook and I've contemplated telling her.
Report and follow this through. Sexual assault, well hidden, enables it to happen again.
Hope this doesn't get buried, one of the most f**ked up things I ever heard. So my sis got married when she was 15 to a douchebag who'd just turned 18. Long story short, despite trying to make it on their own they failed and had to come back home to stay with my parents. I go to Uni, but come home for summers. SO one night we invite over a cousin, Calie. She and my sis are the same age and grew up together, they're really close. We plan to camp out in the backyard: smores and scary stories and whatnot. It gets too cold for the my sis, her hubby, and Calie. But I'm not a pussy so I stay outside and sleep in the tent with the dogs. The three of them go inside to sleep in my sis's room on her big bed. When Sis wakes up, she sees her new hubby f**king her cousin. Asks what's going on and Calie says she wanted to lose her V-card to a hot guy. (Btw, my sis's now Ex-husband was like a middle of bumf**k Michigan 4). My sis demands they stop, is super upset. Husband tells her to shut up cuz her window is open and I might here. She lays there and cries while he f**ks her cousin. Then he asks to have sex with my sis. She says no but he blames her for never putting out and forcing him to go to other girls. Calie backs him up, says my sis is a bad wife. So she lets him have sex with her. Next morning, I'm none the wiser. My sis didn't tell me until a year later when that f**king rotting s**tcake d**k-weasel of an excuse for humanity has already moved away and they're divorced. Otherwise, I'd kick his [butt] into a dimension of endless clotted ji*z for the next century. My sis holds it together real well. Even still talks to Calie. It all just got brushed under the rug like so many of our family secrets. Tl;DR -- My sis got married to a complete **hat who f**ked her cousin and best friend in the bed right next to her while she sobbed. After, he demanded she have sex with him too. I hope he's dead.
I can't help but notice that the cousin was not blamed for anything by anyone...
This is so wrong on so many levels I can't even decide where to begin... But I guess marrying a f*king 15yo is the most disturbing tbh

I went to university with a guy who became a very successful drugs dealer on the dark web. He made tens of millions, then quietly retired somewhere in Asia and opened a vegan restaurant. His wife and kids dont have a clue. Last we spoke he said he still held most of the Bitcoin he collected back then and it's worth "9 digits" now. I dont want to say much more, he's the nicest guy who just unwittingly stumbled into a dubious windfall.
I wrote about this before. A friend of a friend told our clique of girls she was a contractor with the government and made a lot of money and had to travel a lot for work. She always dressed very well and had like nice purses, shoes etc. Turns out she is a prostitute and a porn actress. Funny thing is my friend and her were always very judgmental of me because I dated a few guys after my divorce. Hypocrites.
"'friend'. You keep using that word. It doesn't mean what you think it means." --- those are not 'friends'.
Wait.... So now we cant call people who are paid for sex "prostitutes" or people who act in porn films "porn actresses"? Aren't those literally the correct word for each profession, though? When did calling them the LITERAL NAMES for the professions become off-limits?
Load More Replies...Small back story. My dads side of the family is HUGE. I have 9 aunts and 4 uncles from his side (some of his siblings are half siblings) and dozens of cousins. Anyway, one of my aunts is the only one who really has her life together. She is married and has five kids but one of them isn't her husbands. I over heard her and my mom when I was six and my aunt was crying about something and all I heard was "tasted funny" and "don't remember" and my mom telling her to take a shower and we'll deal with it after. I just kinda brushed it off and later asks my mom. She told me that my aunt was very sad and that was it. I don't know it got brought up but when I was 12 my mom told me the full story. My aunt had invited over her husbands best friend and his girlfriend since she was a bit lonely with her husband gone on a trip for work. Only his best friend came over and they started drinking some sodas (I don't think any alcohol was involved). He offered to get her another soda and after that she felt tired and fell asleep soon after. The next morning she woke up and her shirt was inside out and she felt gross. There was also a note on her nightstand that said 'I owe you'. The sick s**t r*ped my aunt. She called my mom since they were best friends at the time and they never told anyone except me. That secret could tear up my entire dads side in a second. Mostly because everyone is super close and the blame would be passed around that someone should have noticed.
And this is how rapists get away with it. Thinking it's worse to 'tear up the family' then being raped. F**K THAT FAMILY! Nail that rapist to the cross!
No one should say anything but the aunt…. I believe that’s what op was saying. If OP or their mom said something it could end up hurting the aunt more and tearing up her life. She is the victim and she gets to choose how to handle the traumatic situation. Her sister should possibly talk her into counseling or just try to support her and listen herself and that’s it.

In 8th grade one of my friends was out sick with mono for a few weeks. She came back for a day. then she left again for a few days. She told everyone she was just having more trouble with mono.

My adopted daughter's biological mother had severe mental health issues, and her drug addiction killed her. These stemmed from the fact that she knew she was the product of an incestuous rape, and it was not kept secret.

My cousin molested me as a child. He's now (as far as I knew last) a Sargent in the Canadian armed forces. Once my dad dies I'm filing a police report and will ruin his life. F**k, my dad and f**k, his family.

The family of a good friend (let's call her Ashley) is very religious. To the point that they only let her go to school or out with people they approved (I was the "good girl" who was allowed to go out with her to have fun) So, I was with Ashley during her rebellious stage in which She got into everything her family hated, got piercings, drank alcohol, dated guys (there was a video of her in a threesome that we had to delete from a guy's cell phone), and even has a couple of tattoos. The point is that she is now of legal age and her family treats her as the exemplary girl that she never gave problems with the minors of the family. She is in a 1-year relationship with a boy from church that they approve of and with whom she "had no relationships" because they are expecting marriage. If they knew the things she did in her adolescence, they would completely disown her, she would take away all the financial stability that she has from her since she continues to live with her parents. And all her neighbors would stop talking to her because her father is the pastor of the church.
Good on Ashley to choose her own life, but sad that she has to keep that part of her personality a secret from her entire community.
She should be able to share what she wants with whomever, but I don't think an entire community needs to know.
Load More Replies...Religion can be a good thing when it is not taken to these extremes. By banning someone from doing something, you make them want to do it even more. No where in the Bible does it say that tattoos or piercings are wrong. Also everyone including Ashley's family are sinners, but God loves us anyway.

In college, an instructor in another department was sleeping with the department head of my program. He would drive her to work everyday and bring her flowers. Once, I caught him kissing her. He's a married man and his wife had no clue to my knowledge. The school eventually dismissed them both for the inappropriate relationship.
That seems wrong. If she works in another department its not a conflict of interest. He is not her supervisor. Playing moral police for two consenting adults when it has zero impact on work is really shitty. For all you know his wife did know and was fine with it.

Lied about being pregnant and subsequently a miscarriage. Claimed she had photos taken at the hospital of her miscarriage but turns out she cropped those photos from an article written by a grieving mother. Sent these to her ex, supposed father of the child, for monetary support.
I found out a few years ago that when my dad was a teenager he got some girl pregnant. The pregnant girl's family sent her back to their country (somewhere in central America) where the girl and her family raised the baby. The girl's family forbade her to have contact with my dad so my dad never knew what happened to her and their baby. This was about 6 years before I was born. So I have an older half-sibling out there and litterally only me and my parents know.
Late to the party but still feel like sharing, I'm very close with a friend's family (think godparent/adoptive type parents) and was over at their house for a cookout. It was late and everyone was hammered when friend's stepdad drunkenly confessed to me that friend's brother was raped by his biological father when he was a child. He was crying and saying it was his(step-dad's) and friend's mom's fault because they lost custody of friend's brother to the biological dad for a few years. I tried asking him about it the next day, but he had no memory of telling me.
My coworker drunkenly confessed to a murder to myself and another coworker. He told us the story, the details (including the victim) the location if the body, and the motive. I've actually reported it to Law Enforcement but they never followed up with me. They either don't believe me or they have investigated and found nothing to prove, or they're still investigating it. It's possible he made the whole thing up, but I've literally seen him pull a gun on someone before, and almost kill them. I know he's killed people on deployment before (not the same thing, but still a factor). I just also know him enough as a person, to know he is probably being honest about it.
My ex sexually assaulted me after we broke up. We got into a horrible argument and things escalated. He is now married with a successful career, a house, and an infant son. I wonder if he ever thinks about it.

On the gross side: Two of my cousins f**ked each other. To be clear, they're cousins to each other as well, not siblings. On the illegal side: My superior at my last job stole thousands of dollars from the company (we did labor hire and she added a dummy employee that linked to her bank account). I already wanted to leave because I hated it there, but once I figured it out I never dobbed her in because I figured the two outcomes were; she gets fired, and I have to do her job (I was trained to do it to cover when she was on leave) which would make it way harder for me to quit when a better opportunity came up, or, she gets in s**t but doesn't get fired, and would proceed to make my life hell until I managed to find another job. So I just left it. The auditor never picked up on it either. She's still there, and has been promoted since. The CEO of the company absolutely loves her and thinks butter wouldn't melt in her mouth. I do wish I had said something now that I have moved on to another job though. Just so they know that the princess they think can't do anything wrong has been stealing from underneath their nose.
A rich businessman in my neighbourhood is meeting with a hooker on regular basis. I guess that could mess up a lot if his wife knew.
One of my friends had a roommate in college who was a total douche. For some reason he decided to jack off into the roommate's shampoo bottle. Every time the roommate was being a jerk, he'd shoot a load into the guy's shampoo. This continued for the entire year. The roommate never found out. For awhile my friend had a pavlovian effect where he'd pop a boner when he got mad.
somebody i know confided in me telling me he is able to suck his own d**k. took me a while to believe him but after a while i knew he wasn't bulls**tting. what made me believe him quicker was a girl i dated in high school dated a friend of mine before me, and when she and i were together she told me he gave himself head on her bed. She said that was the freakiest thing she was ever apart of. Didn't know that s**t was that common. But I believe both of them.
How would this info destroy anyone's life? A lot of guys would give their eye teeth to be able to do that.
This girl I know left her notebook in my car one day and during a blaze sesh I decided to read it and tell no one. The weekend before she took a s**t ton of Xanax and was kind of gone for a week or so while her boyfriend was out of town. Turns out I read that she f**ked her boyfriend's best friend and roommate at the time because she slept there while they just got f**ked up 24/7 for a week and a half on Xanax, molly, weed, and what else. She sounded sad about it and s**t and I'm not a fan of her bf so I didn't say anything to her or our mutual friend or even anyone I know because I'd look like a creep reading someone's personal diary. But hey I did it! TL;DR: I read my acquaintance's personal diary and found out she went on a molly and Xanax and f**king spree with her boyfriend's best friend and roommate while he was gone.
My sister is bi. If my parents find out, they’ll take everything she has and pretty much leave her on her own.
You know for a fact.... you know you might not even be lucky enough to get married at all right?

My cousin is f**king a gang member and his friends. Surprisingly, they seem to all get along, and they treat her really nicely. They're like one big happy group of friends that occasionally have sex. Minus the criminal activity that her boyfriend (friends?) get up to, it's oddly sweet.
Yeah, very sweet, until she ever says no to any of them. Then it's not going to be sweet much longer.
is not like they having sex hurt anyone...now the criminal part is other natter

A former colleague denied vacation requests for staff so he could instead approve a request for a subpar employee that he kissed at an office party. He's on an H1-B and if he were fired would have to go back to India and his wife would find out what happened. He's too lazy to apply for a visa change to get off the H1-B and is a s**tty manager in general.
One guy I know in high school wears diapers to bed because he still pisses the bed, he's popularish so I could spread that like wildfire if I wanted too but were buddies, he doesn't know I know and that's the way I'll keep it
More like a secret amongst me, my mom and siblings, but it's how abusive my dad used to be. Still is but he has improved.
My father was a fun, well-liked guy who was always the life of the party. He could be a great dad and he did alot of things with me, but he could also be mentally and emotionally abusive. This was limited to me, my mother and my siblings. I'm not sure if anyone knew about him, but my aunt (his older sister) refused to have anything to do with him after my parents divorced. She was my favorite relative.
One of my closest friends went to an Ivy League college. He very much acts like it on a regular basis. I know (but he doesn't) that his parents bought his way in. His grades were far too mediocre.
My stepmom threw away a family heirloom that was gifted to me to make my already poor relationship with my dad worse. I didn't figure it out until many years later, but my dad has passed now and she was never popular with any of my family or any of his friends to begin with.
A guy I know has a court date coming up for a DUI and child endangerment, along with 3 other charges stemming from both. I'm his best shot at being found not guilty, but I'm also the one that could bury him. I told him not to have any investigators come to the house, because if he does ( because he keeps bringing my name up ), I will bury him because I will not lie to cover his own ass.
Alt account for obvious reasons. Me and the wife are getting divorced, due to her cheating on me. We have a daughter that is two years old. The No Paramour clause is in effect. What that means is that if she is seeing someone, that person CANNOT stay there while my daughter is there. I'm not sure if it continues to that guy can even be around her at all. We know from her own family (that she royally pissed off) that the guy she is with is living there with her. That means when my daughter goes to spend the night with my soon-to-be ex-wife, that boy IS there. We've just recently hired a PI, and are hoping to hear back soon. Fact of the matter is, she is looking at contempt of court charges, which could be a year in jail, loss of visitation, or a 1500-2000 dollar fine as well as loss of visitation. Your move, you manipulative b****.
Not sure I like this clause. How long does it stay in effect? Does the wife have to stay single until the divorce is finalised or until the daughter is 18?
This clause tends to be ironed out in mediation and there's a window for how long this is allowed. It also ends as soon as the divorce is final. Also, the paramour clause tends to apply to one night stands and "overnight guests" mostly. If the new guy is living there, this dude is wasting his money with a PI as she isn't in violation if the new guy isn't a guest.

my ex friend has had sex with multiple people from his family... and f**ed one of them multiple times. so many you couldn't keep track.
I'm in the navy and I know a lot of people who have cheated on their spouses, I'm sure if I spilled the beans at least a few of them would have their lives ruined.
Those are some serious security issues. If anyone blackmailed them into revealing secret information, they would.
I know several people that I work with who have cheated on their spouses.
I bet they go to church every Sunday, sit in the front row and sing the loudest.
Freshman year I was hanging out with a new group of people that I didn't know super well, mostly because of this one girl in the group who I got along well with. Anyway we were talking about banging and she was telling us about this guy she hooked up with at a party a few days ago. Fast forward like a week later and we go to a party, and we're coming back in the car. Everyone is wasted and talking super loud on top of the music and I'm talking to her and she said she was lesbian, and I said "what about that guy you hooked up with last week" and she said "Oh he raped me. I didn't want to tell anyone". We were both pretty drunk and I'm not sure if she was serious or she thought I wasn't listening but either way I had no idea what to say at the time. I had only known her for a few weeks really, and I had never dealt with this before. I never brought it up afterwards, she was definitely troubled, but most of it came from childhood/parents before she got to college. But to be honest I have no idea if she is even aware that she told me that.
My coworker used to f**k her best friend's (now ex) husband. I assume the friend doesn't know, because they're currently roommates. Wouldn't be surprised if she also f**ks her friends new boyfriend as well.
Years ago was trawling sketchy personals listings and came across my then Starbucks manager. He not only posted this face, but I could also see his s**tty tattoos so it was definitely him. Anyhow, he was servicing men and women starting at $100. I never told anyone and I hated the fact that I'd seen his penis
My best friend confided in me that when were both minors she would go on chat roulette and masturbate on cam (I'm talking like 13 or 14). She'd always tell the guys she older. That was a few years ago and I don't judge her for it, now she's in a very happy Dom-Sub relationship with a Ginger version of Christian Grey (minus the wealth).
Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele had an obscenely unhealthy relationship. Jsyk.
I wonder how many abusive relationships take place because that 50 shades bullshit convinced people that's what a normal or healthy BDSM relationship is...
Load More Replies...I work with a guy who told me one night after too many beers (pretty sure he can't remember telling me) that he had killed someone in a [soccer] 'firm' fight. I won't name teams or anything but he said he was involved in an organized fight and distinctly remembers caving someone's head in with a blunt object before running away.
Old Firm derby? Rangers vs Celtic? Organised fight seems like it could be Scotland.
I know someone that used to f**k his sister regularly. She was only a half sister though, which probably means it's fine...
I know his kink, he knows mine. It's basically mutually assured destruction if either of us ever turns into that big an ***hole.
I’m a doctor. I hold hundreds of deepest darkest secrets. I know who’s having affairs, who’s had STIs, ab*rtions, drug addiction etc etc. I would never tell.
I used to work in a hospital and had access to our national medical records system. One day when I was amazingly bored I put everyone on my facebook's name into it. There were many TIL's that day. I now know who has STD's and about that one guy that got his nuts removed. I act differently around some people now. 5/10 - interesting but would not do again.
Yeah, and been prosecuted. Medical confidentiality is sacred.
Load More Replies...That's a major breach of privacy. Just because you have access to the records, doesn't mean you should be reading everything like it's a trash mag.
If this is true and that’s a big if, then you are truly a disgusting person.
What is this with all the people knowing about cheaters and keeping their mouths shut? How can you live with yourself? I'd tell the cheater to confess or I'd tell the victim myself. F**k that 'keep it under the rug' culture. That's how you get all this s**t, by staying silent about it. It's never going to change if all the cheaters and rapists know that no one will tell on them anyway.
Well...let's see. I'm a single woman and the last time I was faced with this moral dilemma... I outed the cheater. Then I spent a year hiding from him until he got arrested for threatening me. Now he's out again. Why wouldn't someone tell....

For ten or eleven years, I had no idea my dad’s father was a drug addict and had gone to jail several times. Very recently he got a DUI after he got in a wreck, soon after his best friend died. My grandfather was the reason why my dad wanted to be a DEA agent as a kid. But from the stories my dad tells me about his dad teaching him to drive, he seemed to be a very funny and colorful guy, much like my dad. My parents were worried that I’d turn out like my grandfather after I was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 8 or so and prescribed Adderall. The side effects were pretty bad and the meds didn’t really change much so I haven’t taken them for years.
Two of my classmates (a boy and a girl) from kindergarten to 3rd grade of elementary school shared the same father, but they didn't know. It's really a small world, because of all the schools they ended up in the same kinder and elementary, and same group. The boy's mom was "the other", who got pregnant with the girl's father's baby in a "rough patch" he had with the girl's mom.
the boy's mom was very shy, but somehow she became friends with my mom, and one day when she saw the girl's father picking her up from school, she obviously recognized him, and told my mom the story. The father ended up going back with his wife after he found out she was pregnant. The boy's birthday was in June and the girl's in August. As far as I know, they never knew, and somehow I ended up becoming friends with the two of them, so their parents always saw them together, but he didn't pass 3rd grade, and stopped talking to us. I guess to this day none of them know about it, at least I'm sure the girl (now 28) still doesn't know and I feel kinda guilty, but I feel like it's not me who should tell her.
