    Sweetorange23 • 14h ago That he was in the military. I had recently enlisted in the army when I met him out one night. He told me he was a marine veteran and that's how we started talking. He told me stories about his time overseas and how he still keeps in touch with his military buddies. We eventually get married 2 years
  • 03
    later and when I applied for a VA loan under his name I got a letter from DOD that they had no record of him ever being in the military. He fabricated the whole thing. He would ask for military discounts constantly and would tell these elaborate war stories to people all while wearing old military clothes. When I confronted him about all the lies he started yelling at me. We are now divorced.

    Happy-Flan2112 • 15h ago Night terrors. Had her first one a couple months into the marriage. She went right back to sleep. I of course was prepared for battle. The next morning when I asked her if she wanted to talk about it, she said "talk about what?". I said, "uhhh you screaming like you are being killed in the middle of the night." Her reply was, "oh yeah, I do that sometimes.

    isa-deo 10h ago • Scrabble is my game. I had never lost to anyone, until the first time my husband and I played against each other. He obliterated me. I had talked a big game and I was flabbergasted. Seven years into our marriage, he admitted during a couples party game that he had waited until I went to the bathroom and swapped out some tiles. Aghhhhhhhhh.

    . InstantElla 14h ago Found he was doing crack. He'd been in rehab for many years before I knew him. He was supposedly sober. Then a bit after we got married I found a stash of crack in his tool belt. He tried to play it off as "I keep it as a reminder that I'm strong enough to say no” and I believed him (I didn't truly but I wanted to so I pretended). Til I caught him buying it, started finding crack pipes.

    Cloberella 11h ago • Nothing. He passed away 6.5 years ago now, and despite having access to all his emails, texts, notes and other personal things I never found anything unexpected. In fact, I mostly found things about how much he loved me in his personal stuff.

    Richard AlGuy • 8h ago Not married, but my girlfriend of several years hid the fact that she is a huge Trekkie from me for the first 8 months or so of our relationship.

    She goes "the Breen, mentioned in TNG but seen the first time in DS9." I was like...what... And then she shyly showed me her DVD collection of the series, and a couple of models. It's been 8 years now. We boldly go together.

    UnlikelyRegret4 10h ago. After our divorce, my ex husband very quickly married a "godly" woman who just joined his church who confessed she had been married twice before. Our son overhead something about this so I looked her up in our local court system that has divorce records. Turns out she had FIVE ex husbands, all in the same pension program, and she was on their retirement as beneficiaries. My ex was in the same pension program, but didn't believe his oh-so-christian fiance could ever lie o

    BigButtSweetPink OP • 17h ago I had an experience with a friend, we grew up together in the hood. At his wedding he told this story about how we grew up wealthy and travel the world with his parents while growing up and University educated. In reality he's from the projects and lived buttpoor and never finish University. I had to sit there and listen to him tell the story at his wedding. I still hang with him and his wife. He keeps telling this lie and it makes me crazy.

    Spirited-Cat-8942 • 15h ago That he was unemployed and in the middle of a bankruptcy case, and he also lost his house to foreclosure. The worst part is that I never found out about any of this until years later when we were getting divorced. He hid so much from, and I still have no clue how.

    Shark_bait5 . 14h ago This is so mild compared to some of the other comments but my husband hid the true breadth of his nerdom. He moved in the day we got married, and came clean about how many evenings he spent gaming. I knew he had a room full of D&D and other table games but I didn't know he has far more than that. And he has a massive war history collection. His stuff has taken over most of a 1,400 square foot basement.
