“As soon as my wife figured this out, she started having ‘bad days’ more often.”
So when Reddit useru/released-lobsterasked, “Whatsecretis OK/acceptable to keep from a partner in a marriage?”
thousands of people had a lot of thoughts.
Here’s some of what they said:
1.
“I witnessed my son walking for the first time about a month before she saw him walk.
She was struggling with postpartum depression and was upset she wasnt the mom she wanted to be.
Im taking that one to the grave.”
A small spider came out, and my ear instantly unblocked.
If I told my partner this, she’d literally never sleep again."

“I worked very hard with my kids to ensure that their first word was ‘Mama.’
When she wasnt around, I was going, ‘Ma-ma-ma-ma’ to the kids.
