We all have our dirty little secrets, the little white lies that we tell. Have you ever kept anything from your significant other? A secret that you were determined never to be discovered? Maybe you don’t even think it’s that big; it’s just not something that you want your partner to know. It could be as silly as the fact that you don’t want him to see you without makeup, or maybe it’s a whopper, like having a crush on your man’s best friend. Whether it’s big or small, we all have our little secrets that we want to keep hidden from people we love the most.

It may not be an intentional secret that you're keeping; maybe it’s not something you want to admit to. It could be something that you're embarrassed by, that you just don’t want to talk about. It doesn't make you a bad person; in fact, a lot of us don’t want to talk about things that are embarrassing. Not everyone is able to talk about things easily. Maybe you worry that your man won’t understand you or that he'll think less of you. Sometimes, guys don’t understand even after you’ve been dating for years. Maybe you have a right to all your secrets. Well, those secrets are about to break loose because these ladies are confessing, and they aren’t holding anything back. Tune in to hear secret confessions from girls who've been hiding things from their boyfriends.

She Slept With His Dad

Now, this has to be the most scandalous one we've heard yet. Girlfriends sleeping with Daddy? We didn’t see this one coming.

“I b---ed my boyfriend’s dad numerous times and am still having very inappropriate text/emails with him. He’s married and has a very nice family, so it’s especially wrong. It’s tough to see my boyfriend and his dad together because I know that I have slept with them both. I hope he never finds out.” (BroBible)

Now, that is definitely one messed up story. How do these two plan on getting away with it if they're sending messages back and forth? It’s only a matter of time before they'll be caught. There's nothing more embarrassing than finding out that your dad slept with your girlfriend. Both of them should be ashamed of themselves because that kind of betrayal is on a whole new level.

She Settled For Him

No one ever wins in these situations. A relationship where one or both parties are just settling ends up making everyone unhappy. It’s best just to cut the ties and move on with your lives; at least, then, you'll both have the chance to be happy with someone else. What’s her confession?

“That I’m settling for him because I’ve lost the energy to try and start anew. After eight years together, I haven’t really loved him for about four of them, but he is good to me and gives me a lot of time alone. Trying to break up with him and find something new would be too hard at this point.” (Thought Catalog)

That’s a pretty sad state of affairs, and we could only hope that most couples aren’t like that because it would be depressing to be with someone that you no longer love. Make an effort and go for what you really want!

Experimental Girl

Yes, this next confession would probably come as a shock to most men.

“That I have slept with more women than he has (27 F, he’s 35 M).” (Thought Catalog) This kind of confession usually goes one of two ways. Either the boyfriend will be intrigued by her confession and then ask for a threesome, or he'll be appalled by the confession, and it'll affect his manhood. You usually never know which way a confession is going to go, so it’s best to keep these kinds of confessions to yourself. The last thing you need is for your man to sit around and worry that you're going to leave him for a girl or that you like girls more than him. Typically, guys do score more women than women do, so it might be a hit to his ego if he finds out that his girlfriend has slept with more women than he has.

Cheating on Her Man

This girl cheated on her boyfriend and then couldn’t remember who the guy was that she cheated with. Yikes.

“I went to my boyfriend’s freshers week and slept with someone else. It was accidental and sounds really slutty, but I was out-of-my-mind drunk. Basically, I was in upper sixth, and my boyfriend was a first year, and for the last day of their freshers week, they had to dress up in something that began with the same letter as the name of their halls. His halls began with an N, which I didn’t know until I got there, so someone kindly lent me a nurse outfit (it gets worse). My boyfriend ended up getting so drunk that he was vomiting and had to be put to bed – when I went to go to bed, I couldn’t find my way back to his room. I got lost in the halls and ended up chatting to someone else instead, then flirting, then drunkenly sleeping with them. Afterwards, I felt so guilty, especially as I couldn’t remember who it was exactly — until I saw them in the canteen the next day.” (The Tab)

Her Son’s Name

What would you do if you found out your wife named your child after her first love? We're guessing that you wouldn’t be too happy about that, would you? We have a feeling that she might be harboring some feelings for her long-lost love. These are the kinds of sticky situations people find themselves in if they haven’t fully gotten over their exes. If she was genuinely in love with her husband and respected him, don’t you think she could've picked another name for their son? In our opinion, she's a little cold as ice, but we'll let you be the judge of that. “My husband doesn’t know that I named our son after the first guy I loved.”

Ouch. Now that has got to hurt. No wonder she's keeping this secret from him. These are the types of secrets that ruin marriages, but this one is totally on her.

She’s in an Adult Film

Now that’s a biggie. What would you do if you found out that your girlfriend was in a p---o? Would you be able to look at her the same way, or would you immediately break up with her? It’s definitely a hard image to get out of your head, and a lot of guys wouldn’t be able to handle that kind of secret, which is probably why it’s staying a secret. This woman confessed her secret, though, but not to her boyfriend. “I was in a p--n. It’s on the Internet and a DVD.” (Thought Catalog) The worst thing that could happen is if one of her boyfriend's friends stumbled across it and told him. The truth should definitely come from her, but we totally understand why she hasn’t told him. That would be a hard thing to confess. She could lose everything if she does.

Fooling Around

When you’ve cheated on your spouse, the last thing you want to do is confess, right? Probably best not to do it in the first place.

“There were rumors on a Facebook page about people cheating. One of them said I’d got[ten] off with a boy who had a girlfriend, and he asked me if it was true. It was. I mean, I didn’t sleep with anyone; it wasn’t that bad. But the way he asked me made me chuckle. I lied and told him no. I never got caught, although I was approached by the guy I’d cheated with, his girlfriend’s friends. They demanded to know if I’d got[ten] with him, and I said no. I was like “oh, we were just chatting, classic rumor mill” — lies. He never found out. I think he guessed, though. Me [sic] and the guy always had a cheeky thing. Not like dating, but every single time we went out, I used to get with him.” (The Tab)

She Said She Didn’t Love Him

This poor girl didn’t love her boyfriend when it came time for him to say those three lovely words to her. She told him that she didn’t feel the same way, and he started to cry. Could you just imagine? She must have felt awful when he broke down. Thankfully, the next day, he didn’t remember a thing, so the second time around, she lied to him.

“The first time my SO said I love you, I didn’t say it back. He was drunk and cried when I told him I didn’t feel the same way. In the morning, he didn’t remember any of it and told me again… this time, I said it back. We’re married now, and I can’t imagine my life without him.” (Thought Catalog)

In the end, it all worked, so no harm, no foul, right?

She Almost Stood Him Up

Could you imagine standing a guy up just because you didn’t feel like showering? That’s hilarious. In the end, though, she decided to go through with her date, and it all worked out. She was really looking out for her man, and maybe that’s the time to keep your secret.

“That I almost stood him up on our first date because I didn’t feel like showering. He told me a good while into our relationship about how he used to get stood up a lot. He played it off like he was fine and it didn’t bother him, but I could see the hurt in his eyes. I don’t want him to know how close I came to hurting him.” (Thought Catalog)

It’s one of those secrets that you keep in order to not hurt your partner. Sometimes, it’s best to keep some secrets.

Mental Illness

You probably should never keep a mental illness from your boyfriend.

“I’m still scared he’s gonna leave me because of my mental illness. I’ve been diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder when I was 16 years old [sic]. Remember Girl, Interrupted? Add teenage gay boy drama to that, and that’s who I was. I tried to kill myself twice. I went to therapy for four years, and that helped, but I stopped for other reasons. I’m still on meds. Mood swings still happen, depression still happens, anxiety still happens. But it’s nowhere near as bad as it was before. It’s manageable. I do the best I can not to get my SO involved when I get too bad and try to get my sh!t together. He also helps me, a lot. More than I could ever say. Most days, I can wake up and finally feel happy about life.” (Thought Catalog)

A Miscarriage

Things happen in high school that are out of our control. Some of those things are tragic, and those things get locked away in secret. In this case, the girl had a miscarriage and never even told her boyfriend that she was pregnant. It wasn’t a malicious act; she just didn’t want to hurt him.

“I had a miscarriage in high school. I have never told my husband he was a father at 17. I just can’t break his heart like mine was broken.” (TheDailyMail)

Do you think she should have told him the truth, or is this the kind of secret that you take to the grave? It’s surprising that she ended up marrying the guy. Not too many high school sweethearts make it that far. At this point, so much time has gone by that it’s probably pointless to tell that kind of a secret.

She Sells Her Underwear

Sometimes, it’s hard paying for college, and many people come up with some pretty creative ways of making extra money. In this case, this girl sold her used panties online, and she has no intention of telling her boyfriend about it. We totally understand because not too many guys would be okay with that sort of thing. Who knows, though? Maybe he would've been okay, but we wouldn’t count on it.

“I sell my underwear on the Internet… I’m a broke college student in an extremely demanding major who already has a job but physically cannot work any more hours. I think he’d understand… but can’t risk it. He’s the best thing that’s happened to me in a very long time.” (Thought Catalog)

It’s pretty sad that used panties could get you college dollars, though. But it’s not like she was stripping or doing p--n.

He’s Bad in Bed

Whoa! We don’t see this confession going over really well.

“He is pretty bad in bed. I never really understood the term 'selfish lover' until I met him. I do most of the work, and the only way to keep it going is to basically j--k him off with my V. However, he is insanely good at giving o--l, so YAY, I guess? I don’t know if my insatiable desire for him comes from my love for him or that I’ve never actually been satisfied sexually in our relationship.” (Thought Catalog)

We aren’t sure how being great at giving oral equates to being a selfish lover, but it’s not our relationship. It’s always best to be honest in your relationship, especially when it comes to sex because ladies and gents, you'll never get what you want if you don’t speak up.

She’s Suicidal

Yeah, this one's a biggie. No one should have that much control over your life. Breakups are hard on everyone, but thinking of ending your life over someone else is just silly. This girl confessed, “That if he ever left, I’d probably hurt myself. Don’t want to scare him off.” (Thought Catalog)

Probably a good idea since most guys would assume that you're a crazy girl if you’re talking about suicide after a breakup. No guy or girl is worth hurting yourself over. There’s that saying: “There are plenty of fish in the sea.” If a guy doesn’t want to be with you, confessing to him that you would die if he left you is not a great way of keeping a boyfriend. Guys are more likely to scream their way into the night if they hear that sort of thing.

He’s Too Good For Her

Well, this one isn’t too bad, but it does shine some light on the way she views herself in the relationship. This could easily be an insecurity thing and not necessarily because he's out of her league. That was certainly the case when Julia Roberts married Lyle Lovett for two years. No one could understand how someone that looked like him got a girl like Roberts.

“I believe he is way too good for me in every aspect. Education wise, family, looks, etc. I could never be his perfect match and I am afraid he will realize this one day and leave me.”

The last thing you want to do is confess these sorts of things to your partner because you may get exactly what you fear. A secure guy will not want to date a girl who's riddled with insecurity and spends her time worrying about a breakup. She needs to accept the fact that he’s obviously with her for a reason and to just enjoy the moment.
