“I Slept With Her Psychiatrist”: 16 Secrets People Will Never, Ever Share With Their Partners

“When she was bathing the kids one night in February, I decided to install the surround sound speakers on the skinny table behind the couch. I slid out the sofa and the table to access the power strip (two lamps and a phone charger already) for the subwoofer and saw a rolled-up black shirt on the floor next to it. Closer inspection, and instead, it was a black snake rolled up in a ball, getting some warmth from the powerstrip. She’s TERRIFIED of snakes. I ran out to the garage, grabbed a bucket and lid, picked up Mr. Sleepy, and put him (or her, I didn’t have time to ask) in the bucket and quickly out into the garage. The next day was an unusually warm winter in the US Southeast, so I let it go in the field across the street. I’m guessing it got in from around one of the HVAC boots on the floor nearby.”
“If I brought it up, I would have had to move in the middle of that night. If I bring it up now, I’ll have to move tonight. Maybe one day, but I don’t see us leaving here soon, so that secret will die with me.”
