Relationships are all about communication, but let’s face it, that’s often easier said than done. The result is that in many, failed relationships, there are a decent amount of things that ended up left unsaid. 

Someone asked people to share “the one thing you never told your ex?” and netizens spilled their guts.

50 People Anonymously Reveal The Secrets They Never Dared To Tell Their Ex That sometimes, while I was asleep, I'd wake to her petting my hair and telling me that she loved me. She said it in such a loving, quiet voice, it felt almost secret. In those moments, I had never felt so loved. I'd pretend to still be asleep while fading back into it so she wouldn't get embarrassed. We broke up later but I still cherish those moments.

It's about things people won't tell their ex's, ever. It would ruin the list if they stuck together, wouldn't it?

    50 People Anonymously Reveal The Secrets They Never Dared To Tell Their Ex The day I left was the best day of my life. Not the wedding, not when the kiddo finished kindergarten or high school. When I finally had enough and realized what was happening was abuse and it happens to men, too.

    It does happen to men too. I'm a survivor. My ex used to get whiskey drunk and beat the c**p out of me. I never hit back because I have 50lb on her and I'd be the one in jail. Glad she's gone and the restraining order makes sure that's the case.

    My husband was in an abusive relationship, and it still haunts him. Anybody who thinks that men can't be abused by women is ignorant. Men just get treated badly if they speak up because of stupid stereo typing that men can't or shouldn't press charges when they get beat on by an abusive woman or male partner.

    Same thing for me. Left because there was no marriage left. After I moved I had the older desktop PC and as I was cleaning up files on weekend I came across a bunch of files that had emails from his current email account as well as my own. He had been cheating on me for years! He even bragged to an old friend that he had three at one time, while I was moving out! So glad this happened and I was able to prove to myself I could make it on my own. To this day, I suspect he thinks I will come crawling back to him. Sorry dude, you are the last thing I want to see or hear from.

    Of course it can happen to both sexes physically but often verbally. Women are sometimes very cruel in the way they speak to their men without even being consciously controlling.

    50 People Anonymously Reveal The Secrets They Never Dared To Tell Their Ex That he's gay. I remember the party in college where I walked in on him kissing our friend Daniel. We just never talked about it again. And once I announced the divorce, everyone mentioned that he was gay. They thought it was some big secret we were all agreeing not to discuss. I just wish he'd get on with it and live his life openly now. But I realize there must be tremendous pain keeping him from that. So I'll keep loving him as a friend and family member, raising our daughter as coparents. I'm happy and remarried. I hope he finds what he needs someday. He's an amazing dad.

    The mount of gay guys still in my generation (millenial) that are in the closet is crazy. Parents and family threaten them. Mostly from wealthy families who threaten to cut them off or from inheritance if they don't keep it a secret, get married and have kids. Truly depressing.

    It can be very hard to tell a person a hard truth, even, in fact particulate, if you love them. The truth hurts is an old adage for a reason and most of us don’t actually want to hurt the people who are important to us. It’s even worse when one is dealing with something that happened between them and an ex or really any important figure from the past

    While, in the moment, it might be easier to stay silent, psychologists believe that it still helps with closure. After all, the folks in this article still felt the need to share the words left unsaid with someone, even if it was random people on the internet.

    She wanted to improve her own fitness, so she wanted to work out with me. Every time we ran together I would run at half speed, breath heavily and pretend like I was exhausted. It helped her feel encouraged, that she was able to keep up, and that she was improving. When we’d go out to Asian restaurants she’d insist on using chopsticks. She was terrible, so I always tried to out-do any blunders she made. If she struggled to pick something up, I’d pretend the chopsticks slipped out of my hand, or resort to stabbing food in an exaggerated way. I’m Asian… I’ve been using chopsticks longer than I’ve been using spoons and forks. She’d always gleefully laugh at me and never caught on to the fact that everytime she was done eating my chopstick errors significantly dropped. Lastly, she loved falling asleep next to me but kicked and spasmed in her sleep. She was a heavy sleeper and I wasn’t so this sleeping arrangement didn’t really work out but she was always so happy to go to sleep and wake up next to me. A lot of times if she kicked me awake I’d sleep on the floor, get up slightly before her alarm, and scoot back next to her like nothing happened so she wouldn’t feel bad. I got burned by that relationship pretty badly but I have every intention of continuing to do those little things for my future partners. Just waiting for the right person to do them for.

    This is insincere and belittling. Not sure whether OP is a people pleaser who will always feel "burned" by relationships because they don't get the appreciation they subconsciously believe they deserve for doing stuff nobody knows about and never asked for, or gets an ego boost from being the "suprior, selfless saint" who pretends to be slower or clumsier so their slow, clumsy partner doesn't look as bad. And sleeping on the floor; how about talking about things like adults? Reading this raised the hairs on the back of my neck. It reeks of somebody who looks down on their partner but won't admit it, and the "she never caught on" just cements that impression.

    The thing about doing sport together is kinda cute, but everything else feels a bit weird and too submissive to me. Why not just show her how to use chopsticks? You can teach people in a nice way, without making them feel stupid. Sleeping on the floor instead of just telling her that her movements at night are keeping you awake, oh dear... I can't imagine anyone would take it personal if you'd let them know this.

    Let’s face it, in many cases, it is best to discuss and divulge things early to not let them build up for later. Fortunately, many of the examples are a tad more lighthearted. It seems unlikely that someone is truly dying to tell their ex that, actually, they simply let them win at every board game.

    50 People Anonymously Reveal The Secrets They Never Dared To Tell Their Ex The real reason I broke up with her was because I caught myself going through her phone on a regular basis. The last time I did it, it hit me like a bag of bricks. I knew it was me and not her. I developed trust issues from past relationships. I was so in love with her, I didn't feel she deserved to be with someone not in a healthy place. I tried my hardest to trust her but couldn't. I still haven't gotten past her and it's been 6 years. That behavior scared me so much, I haven't been in a relationship since and have focused on me. I think I scared myself so badly, I am avoiding relationships out of the fear I'll have the desire to do that again. Now she's engaged and here I am... On Reddit. Confessing my crazy behavior.

    That his dog was seeking him out in her dying moments. He had rescued a little girl from a dog fighting puppy mill, and raised her by himself until we met. I instantly loved her and for a year into our relationship I got to watch the two of them build trust and train and play everyday. She was his whole life as when he saved her, he had no one else regarding family or friends, in a very depressed state. Around our 1 year anniversary she got sick. I woke up one day with a very bad feeling, only to look around and find her sitting in a pool of blood and p**s. Without hesitation we took her to the vet non stop and payed for any and every test we could. She was young still, 2 and a half. They all came back negative, and she was a fully vaccinated dog. One Sunday, after 5 days of fighting with antibiotics and getting her to eat, cleaning up blood and p**s and taking out any savings we both had to pay off doctors, she passed. They were both a sleep on the couch (we took turns sleeping) and I was dozing off from the exhaustion. I saw her around 5am wake up, she tried moving around trying to get to her dad but she was too weak and he was too tired. I didn't realize what was happening, why she suddenly wanted to be with him so much. I sat with her, telling her that it would be okay and the minute the vet was available we would head over for painkillers. We would find what was hurting her and that she wasn't alone. I covered her with a blanket and fell asleep on the floor before I realized it. 9 am same day she had joined the other angels. To this day, I have some of her ashes and I just keep thinking I should of woken him up, or helped her. For the longest time he blamed himself for not being with her in her final moments. We never found what killed her, autopsy wasn't an option.

    My pittie developed tumors on her insides. She went from being an excited puppy to staggering virtually overnight. She did the same thing passing blood in her urine so I took her to the vet. He xrayed her and didn't have much hope but agreed to do a surgery on her the following day. She didn't live out the night but thankfully she was on pain meds so she wasn't in pain when she died. Man, we become attached to them.

You both sound like you did so much for her, you weren't to know and you tried to give her comfort in her last hours and tried to let your boyfriend sleep as he would be further exhausted when he woke later to get her straight to the vets once they were open. I'm so sorry this secret hurts you so much 😞❤️

    After all, it’s no surprise that most gags in your average sitcom, inevitably, come from some characters miscommunicating or leaving something out. It’s a pretty common human experience at this point. So like with many things in life, it’s important to not beat yourself up too much and just use your best judgment.

    50 People Anonymously Reveal The Secrets They Never Dared To Tell Their Ex My ex's parents were separated, so we often found ourselves at her mom's place. Her mom, a high-powered CEO in New York, rarely engaged in casual conversation. However, one night, amidst her job stress, she surprised us by joining in for a laid-back evening. Nestled in her fantastic Manhattan loft, we relished the opportunity to escape our sweltering college dorms during the summer. On this particular night, as my ex and I stayed over, her mom seemed a touch envious of our city escapade and decided to join us for a nostalgic early 2000s movie and a nightcap. As the evening unfolded, my ex dozed off, and I couldn't help but notice her mom consuming the lion's share of the wine. She became unusually chatty, delving into personal questions and fixing me with a lingering gaze. When the movie ended, I suggested that i’d probably leave my ex on the couch and that i would probably just take the floor. However, her mom unexpectedly proposed sharing her bedroom. Politely, I declined, and it's a secret I've kept from my ex ever since.

    In the UK one in six children are living with a male parent who they are not biologically related to - whether they are aware of it or not. A forensic anthropologist, who I am a fab of, once quoted her grandmother, saying "you always know who your mother is, but you only have your mother's word for who your father might be" obviously there are exceptions and this was a bit tongue in cheek.

    At least you had the option to carry it to term. I suspect a lot of folks terminate their pregnancy because they cannot "hide" it long enough to put it up for adoption. Not all of them mind you, but some. If friends and relatives would quit judging and pushing people to keep babies they can't take care of, maybe there'd be more adoptions and less terminations? Not 100% of the time, of course. But some.

I went out to 'buy cigarettes', but actually went to the area where this was observed. I found a lot of little blue feathers. she was already heartbroken at the loss.

    I agree with moggie63, especially with birds. She knows that bird is dead, deep down. Unless it is a Budgie in FL, parrots won't live long once escaped. There is a big debate in the bird ownership world weather to clip or not clip wings. This is the reason people choose to clip bird wings, so they won't escape and die. I've lost a bird to escape, I am glad I don't know the details, I won't have that image in my head. I still don't clip my birds' wings. They LOVE to fly, they were literally evolved/created for it. Why the else would you say "clipping someone's wings" is the same as handicapping them.

    We broke it off on good terms, but I wish I could’ve told him how much of a narcissist and an a*****e he was to me. He drunkenly asked me when I stopped loving him one night after we broke up… I stopped loving you 6 months into our relationship and stayed for 3 years bc I couldn’t afford to leave and be on my own and I became so used to the abuse that it was just normal at that point. I stopped loving you the first time you screamed “f**k you” into my face. You made so many excuses for your behavior and half of those were just blaming me when I did nothing wrong. You were explosive and short-tempered but everything was still my fault. You couldn’t care less about the things I wanted to do or the interests that I had, just you you you you you. He even left me with the dog I got him (whom I love very much and he is spoiled). Every weekend he’d be gone doing the things that I wish I could be doing with him, but I wasn’t invited or couldn’t afford it. AND THE LIES. I’d be surprised if he was ever telling me the truth. Deceit was the boys middle name, but I saw through it. Even when you didn’t think I did. I did. I wish I could’ve said all of that but I left off on good terms because i’m wayyyyy too nice of a person. You live and you learn I guess. What a joke. Thanks for the vent haha.

    The only thing I'll say that I find "wrong" with this one, is her buying him a dog. If it was a surprise gift, then that's not great. I saw it with a friend of mine. He didn't want a dog, his partner bought one. Surprise! You'll love it. She left him a few years later with a dog he didn't want in the first place. Unless you're both 100% on board for getting a dog (or any pet) it's usually a bad idea getting one as a gift.

    I can relate to this so much! My ex was a narcissist alcoholic with anger issues that led to both mental and physical abuse towards me. Our relationship was extremely toxic that our friends were begging for us to cut off all contact. He turned all of our mutual friends against me, even people who I’ve known since I was a toddler started disliking and avoiding me. No one saw any fault in him because he always acted like the best person to the outside world all the while abusing me. Once we parted ways, I cut off all contact but he’s still trying to reach out to me (but I won’t respond). Today I’m suffering from severe loneliness because I don’t have any friends. I had to start therapy and antidepressants after all this (it seems to be helping but it’s too soon to tell). He is the absolute worst person I’ve ever met and everyday I wish I never crossed paths with him.

    No matter how toxic we were I always wanted to end things on good terms and be friends but he never cared to achieve this. In fact following our last fight, which escalated to needing our friends to step in, he stated in front of everyone that he never wants to see me again. I knew he never respected me and I should have walked away years ago, but I’m glad now it’s me who’s going full no contact while he’s desperately to trying to reach out. Two things I never told him because I didn’t want to hurt him (but now I wish I have said them out) were that my very first impression of him the first time I saw him was “Eww” (a friend and I were commenting about our future batchmates during our college orientation program) and that when he tried to get back together after I ended things (because of his alcoholism), I turned him down because I was in crazy in love with his friend and I realized I’ve never felt the same way towards him (ex), basically making me realize that I never loved him.

    My fiancee hit me through the room. First time. I packed and left. Never came back. It was the best thing I could have done for myself, I had severe self- esteem problems and people took advantage of me, but that was the last drop. I learned right there and then that I could control what I put up with.

    If a person is what you say, there's absolutely no point telling them. My mother keeps saying what she would like to say to my brother's ex wife, but honestly there's no point telling someone they're a narcissist because, well they're a narcissist, that's kind of the point.

    Damn. I felt this one too much. Except it was almost 7 years. I really did love him for 3-4 of those. Also felt the "we should've broken up after that first fight 6 weeks in" except I should've never dated him when he kept ghosting me for weeks then coming back, ghosting, coming back. Come to find out he was breaking up with and getting back with his kids mom those times. I found out three months in (she sent me screenshots) he was still begging for her to take him back the entire time we were dating, and I STILL didn't leave. Man, was I young and dumb. Granted. My son was born in November, he and I started talking when I was pregnant, and she told me around my birthday beginning of march, so I was still pretty hormonal and I think that was why I "loved" him so much by then. Lessons learned. Been with the most amazing man for four years, and 9 years after my last kid, we've got his first and my third due in June! First right choice I made when it comes to my kids' dads. lol

    leaving an abusive ex, and a narcissist at that on good terms is a very good and very safe option. In fact, it is NEVER recommended to to leave any other way. You kept yourself safe and that is more important than venting at the abuser.

    50 People Anonymously Reveal The Secrets They Never Dared To Tell Their Ex Several things to each one of them 1- Im sorry that I fumbled breaking up with you but I needed a more active gf than just watching movies endlessly 2- i really wanted to spend my life with you but your decision that “you wanted to open our relationship” ended all attraction to you at that exact moment. I should have just walked away right there than demand it ‘stay closed’ and drag out the inevitable a few more months. You ended up leaving me anyways so w/e 3- your anger is why everyone youve dated dumped you, and why im dumping you too. Its not that we “are afraid of a smart woman” its you become petty and mean when you dont get your way. (Shes still single to this day) 4- i knew you cheated but you thought you were too slick.

    I believe he's saying he's had 4 different breakups and kept a different secret for each of them. I must say in each case I think it would have been better to actually be honest about the reasons. Maybe it wouldn't have helped, but it's also possible that it was the wakeup call one or more of them needed to actually look at their own actions.

    I'm not sure about the first one being 'good reason' to break up with someone... But I love films, as in I did do film and media studies as an elective at University. I love studying them, trying to figure out how they filmed certain scenes in the days before CGI and Computer Special Effects etc, analysing them but I tend to do that when I'm alone, especially watching them over and over again.

Several years after remission, she was given a pacemaker, which gives her about a minute of warning. She has a lot of accidents. Other than the incontinence, she's healthy, so she cleans herself and whatever she soiled. She does any necessary laundry, and gets on with life. It's called being an adult.

    Fifty Shades was a fanfic. Talent is subjective, and most writers will never publish or make money off their work. I wouldn't encourage people to quit their jobs to write, especially as AI is capable of doing a lot of the work, but it's OK to have a hobby you're bad at if it's fulfilling to you. Hope she finds a writers group to join and spends less time sharing her writing with the poster.

    Why is telling a woman they would be a terrible mother such a bad thing? If it stops those women from having children they have the chance to abuse? Besides, they could be terrible mothers but good aunts. Motherhood is not the ultimate purpose of a woman's life. Forewarned is forearmed, as they say.

    Surely you could have said 'hey let's go to cooking classes together for fun.' Throwing away a relationship because your other half is an awful cook is petty- you accepted his meals so you could have said in a nice way the cooking is awful.

    The fourth time she stayed over at my house, she woke up crying in the middle of the night, talking like she was a kid, and saying how her family is at odds, and her dad hates her mom and thinks she’s ugly, but they can’t get a divorce because of Christian values. I just calmed her down and held her until she fell asleep. She suffered from Dissociative Identity Disorder and stress-caused episodes, so I don’t think she remembers it happening. I didn’t bring it up the next morning or ever in the three years we were together; not even during our worst fights.

    Being in a relationship with someone who has mental health issues can be very draining and stressful. Some days you have to be their rock, others their punching bag. My Ex was a rapid cycling bipolar. Instead of gradually going from manic to depressed over the course of days or weeks she often cycled from one extreme to the other over the course of a day.

My son counters with the truth AND at just about the same time, we all realize my son is smarter than his stepfather. The ex didn't last another six months.

    This is an interesting one because different people have different concepts of clean. For some it's vacuum, mop, dust twice a day, everything has to be so sparkling you can eat off it. For others it's once a week or once a fortnight. For some a house that is regularly cleaned, but is cluttered is a horror show. And of course, some people are happy with food literally rotting on the table, two weeks dishes in the sink, dirty underwear hanging from the lampshade etc. Without knowing where on that spectrum the pair of them sit it's hard to actually know who is "wrong" here. Or even if either of them were wrong.

    I hired a divorce lawyer the day after she took the kids from daycare and ran off to her moms. I was so stressed that I lost 5 lbs in 2 days due to stress from this. I convinced her to come back and just ‘make it work’ for The kids sake. But I knew I could never trust her again. I stashed $, gift cards, kids clothes & supplies at work and my folks house in case I needed to get the kids and get out fast. That was 3 years before the actual divorce. I regret nothing but hanging on so long. Now happily remarried w full custody 8 years now. FU ex wife.

    There's bits missing here. Was she a terrible mother? It may seem so, but it's not stated. If she wasn't, that's not the best move for the children. If both parents are good parents then both should have 50/50 access. Obviously not if one parent is toxic and a bad parent. Too many people plan to get over on their partner by planning things and being sly when the other doesn't have a clue about their plan, making him have a huge advantage whit comes to divorce and custody. If she was terrible in most aspects then good for you. She/he can be a terrible partner, but a great parent! Love your children more than you hate each other. Why were the children taken from school and carted off to the mother's place? Like I said, a lot is missing here.

    First of all, it's not possible to lose five pounds in two days; if you haven't been eating or drinking, you can lose undigested food and water, which can lower your apparent weight, but you'll gain at least three pounds back within a few days. Second, I don't know why someone would hire a divorce lawyer and then continue living with someone for three years.

    If the comments were "I tried talking with him about it and he ignored it" I'd agree with you. But this is literally an article about people keeping secrets from their partners.

    Could agree more! If people are trying flossing for the first time or leave flossing for weeks, I tell them to floss and smell what's on the floss, it smells horrible! It's sulphur buildup and it doesn't take long for it to smell bad.

    My partner never used to brush his teeth in the morning. We shared the car in the mornings, and any time he opened his mouth the whole interior would fill with his stinking dirty-toothed coffee breath. It took me a year (of holding my breath in the car when he spoke, as well as leaving mints and mint gums in the dash as a mercy for his poor coworkers) to finally pluck up enough courage and annoyance to tell him outright. He didn't like my descriptiveness and got upset with me, but he also started brushing his teeth more often in the mornings.

    In my case it's because you are taught from the moment you're born that if you want people to be nice and smiling and (seemingly) interested in you and your well-being, you need to obey the weird things that goes on in that dysfunctional family. If you do not obey the weird stuff you are in for a ride to Hell.... in whatever form suits the family you're born into. And because I learned this before the age of 2 (according to a therapist I had) it's just so hard to unlearn again. It's built into your brain so early that it's really hard to find and even harder to un-build.

    Not sure of all the facts here, but it seems like mom was with someone else, when they were separated. That's not cheating, in most cases, but deliberately finding someone to have sèx with, just because you learned about your partner doing so, when you weren't in a relationship.

    It's also important to speak up if your partner is doing something that's causing discomfort or pain. Don't grit your teeth through it for fear of "wrecking the mood". The mood is already wrecked if their hangnail is scraping into your softest bits, or they're accidentally pinching something with each enthusiastic thrust.

    This was a long-distance relationship. When he was in really bad shape with a chronic pain issue and experiencing s*icidal thoughts, I called his 'best' friend to go spend some time with him and try to cheer him up a little. I don't like this friend at all, and when I contacted him, he acted like going to check on the friend who was desperately bored and isolated because of his illness was a huge hassle he didn't have time for. To his credit, he actually did it. Even though I can't stand this friend, I figure no good could come from my then-boyfriend hearing that his 'best' friend balked at helping him when he was at his lowest.

That I really only let it turn into a relationship out of curiosity and that every day for the last year of our relationship I kept thinking, "is today the day I'm going to break up the relationship?" because I was truly unhappy with her, BUT every time I wanted to break things off something bad kept happening in her personal life and I didn't want to pile on the suckiness of life. Seriously, gents. Try not to let a fling turn into a full blown relationship. I learned through relationships after THAT one that I really could have gone my entire life without being with her and it would have actually made my life better.

    My mental health started suffering and heavily affecting me on the lead up to things ending. That the following months where he strung me along with the hopes of getting back together were nothing but cruel. The physical pain from crying so hard over him and my heart breaking every time I thought I had f****d up and wasn’t doing enough, not being able to bring it up to him or talk things over because he takes everything personally and shuts down emotionally. I wish him nothing but the best and I’m truly happy for him and his new relationship, but will never get over how he made me feel and f****d me over to just throw it away like it was nothing.

When I got back home I broke up with my Gf and said that we weren't going to work out and that I felt as if we have been growing apart for months. A lot of people told me I should have told her the truth...but..why? I was already hurting her by breaking up, I didn't see the reason to tell her I cheated on her and hurt her twice in 1 go.

    That while it was fantastic that she was adventurous and pretty much down anytime, anyplace, for anything--and that was a major turn on... ...she was a dead fish when it came down to the actual deed. It was like waiting an hour for fireworks and... getting a Snap Dragon.

    All these posts regarding breakups bc someone is bad at sex, or kissing, seems like something that could be overcome if the people truly want to stay together. These are things that can be learned and changed.

    She was a terrible kisser.

    I’m like 90 percent certain I hit a baby duckling when it was crossing the highway with its family. I saw them too late and avoided most of them but I think I clipped the last one in the row. She was already so upset at them being on the road that I didn’t have the heart to tell her.

    My high school girl friend and I went to different colleges. Her older sister, just graduated from college, talked her into breaking up with me because I was geographicly undesirable. Shortly after my gf finally dumped me, guess who was driving down to my campus to try to get in bed with me? I have encountered my ex-gf on several occasions since, but I have never told her about her sister.

    Though he had aspirations of being a chef, his cooking was mediocre at best. Also, that he lost his Mexican card when he tried to fix my couch with a fork....a FORK. (And before y'all come for me, I'm very much a Latina).

    Although it is better to try and fix a couch with a fork than to not try at all. He did his best.

    You don't have to tell him. If he's as bad as you say, his failing grade will tell him.

    Should have found a way- through her mum or bff. It's clearly a sign of ill health. Even if not washed all the time they should not smell bad.

    He was ugly af and I only fell for him through his personality (when he was sober) and I was so relieved I didn’t have to fake enjoy sleeping with him after we broke up.

    Ex #2: I wasn’t attracted to her because of her weight. I loved her as a person (turns out I was wrong to, oops) but I just don’t find big attractive. Ex #1: I wasn’t attracted to her because of her BO. I tried everything to get her to wash, but she’d only take baths and just soak, and sometimes wash her hair.

    Because it´s totally unempathetic and rude to call someone fat. The one how does not like overweight people doesn´t have to look at them and should try to stay lean. Period.
