You can never know what goes on in another person’s head, and misreading people can often lead to heartbreak in relationships. One partner might think they’re in the perfect relationship while the other is on a completely different page. One study has found that one in four people keep secrets from their romantic partner, and some secrets might make or break a relationship.

This woman was blindsided by the things her boyfriend of five years was hiding from her. While she imagined he was her best friend and dreamed of getting married, he was on a completely different page. Although he kept telling her he wanted the same things, in his heart, he was doing it only because of his people-pleasing tendencies. So, when he finally came clean one evening, the woman found out their relationship wasn’t as perfect and rock solid as she’d imagined.
