1 "Convinced the child to give the girl a gift"

“The child made a heart at school and wanted to give it to me. It's great, but I'm the only one who gets all his school crafts. I suggested writing my girlfriend's name on the heart because she might like it.

So it was, and she melted. She stuck it on the fridge and has been showing it to friends and family for 2 weeks now, like he spelled my name right, he's so cute, and so on. And this is our little secret with him, “- @-Tibeardius-.

2 "I'm lying that I don't like her favorite treats"

“When we watch movies together, we always eat something. Our favorite is Sour Punch Bites [brand of marmalade – approx. ed.]. She takes all the blue gummies, they are her favorite. She always says how lucky she is that I don't like them. But blue is my favorite too. But let her take them.” — @xbone42.

3 "I haven't had a drink in over 4 years"

“I was sober for a month, and she accused me of getting drunk again <…> I thought: “Well, I won't say anything, I’ll work on myself until she notices.” So I did. I stayed sober, I was in shape, I ran a marathon, I went to therapy, I started treatment for adult ADHD that I hadn't been diagnosed with for 51 years.

I started taking antidepressants and changed my life in general. But she never noticed it and regularly accused me of being terribly drunk <…> I would say that it hurts, but now I really don’t care what such a toxic person thought, “- @zyzzogeton.

4 "Her Mom Called Me The Moment Before She Died"

“When her mom was dying, she was in the room with her almost 24 hours a day. She was gone for 30 seconds. And I was there, and in those 30 seconds, my mother died. I don't know if it will haunt her or not. But I don't think she needs to know." — @GoGoNJDevil.

5 "Lied about the death of the animal"

“My wife loves animals. Birds were nesting on our porch, and one day a chick fell out of there. She saw it. He eventually died, that I buried him and lied that I saw how the mother bird took him from the ground. It cheered her up so much that I didn't have the heart to tell her the chick was dead. There will probably never be a spirit.” — @JBroski91

6 "Thinking of an excuse to get her out of bed"

“She suffers from depression. She wants to lie in bed and do nothing. But any movement will make her day 99.9% better <…> If she is not feeling well, I come up with some kind of fake emergency that only she can help me solve.

For example: “Hey baby, I think one of the cats has a scratch on his face, but I can’t examine him, he is ripping out of his hands.” Of course, the cat is fine. But I got her out of bed and that's always the hardest part." @shutterpunts.

7 "Photographing my wife's shoes in unusual places"

“I have a folder of pictures on my computer called ‘Places I Found My Wife's Shoes'. It is logical that it is filled with thousands of photos of my wife's shoes that are not in the closet or on the shoe shelf. I started this many years ago as a joke, but things got out of hand.” — @gerryf19

8 "I love my wife very much, but I can't describe it"

“[She doesn’t know] how much I really care about her and appreciate her. I can't put it into words. I speak badly. I love her with everything I have. I just wish I could demonstrate it better.” – @BarNumerous5751

9 "I Watch What She Reads"

“My wife doesn't know that her Kindle [e-reader] is connected to my Amazon account. I see all the alien sex novels she's read." – @No-Metal2605

10 "Pretending I'm Not Ticklish"

“When we met, she tickled my legs, and I pretended not to be tickled. 13 years later, she's still surprised that I'm not ticklish. Now I have to hide it forever.” — @dontworryimstupid.
