We asked members of the BuzzFeed Community to tell us the secret they'd never tell their husband or partner, and the responses range from the 'omg' to the 'O.M.F.G.':
1. "When we were first dating, I drunk texted my (now) husband asking him to come over for a booty call. Before he could respond, I texted 'nevermind.' To this day, he says that moment of 'playing hard to get' was the moment he knew I was the one he wanted to be with. But he doesn't know that I said 'nevermind' because I had actually sent the same text to two other guys, and another one replied first."
2. "That his favorite meal that I cook...is from the restaurant down the street."
