‘No one knows we're married’: After years of secretly dating, couple decides to get married without telling anyone, end up getting tangled in their web of lies

Some people, when they get into new relationships, the only thing they want to do is shout about it from every rooftop. They want everyone to know about their new partner, sharing every single detail of their relationship to whoever is willing to listen. They simply cannot keep their excitement all to themselves.

The other side of the coin here, is people who prefer keeping their personal lives, well, personal. They won't say anything about new relationships, sometimes not even when they are being asked about it up front. They want to keep everything that happens behind closed doors exactly there, without creating unnecessary fuss or drama over their private affairs.

While both sides can be a little bit extreme, they are also both valid, and it all really depends on the type of person you are, and what you want your live, both romantically and outside of that, to look like.

However, if you do choose to lead your romantic relationship in one of the paths described above, you may encounter some backlash, like what happened to the couple in the story below.

The woman who wrote this tale wanted to get something off her chest, but she didn't expect the reaction she got to it. She shared how she and her now husband have been secretly dating for years, and never told anyone that they were dating, living together, or when they decided to get married.
Now, this secretive couple is thinking about kids, and is starting to realize the complications this over-the-top secret brings to the table.
