Deep dives
Keeping a Secret Storage Unit
A man has been secretly renting a storage unit to store his personal belongings that his wife didn't want in their home. He visits the unit regularly and even places items from their kids in the unit. When his wife found out, she was angry and wanted him to get rid of everything. He refused, stating that he pays for the unit and it doesn't affect her. People have criticized him for keeping this secret and not discussing it with his wife.
Questioning Paternity and Family Dynamics
A woman shares her experience of giving birth to a daughter with green eyes, which leads her to request a paternity test. Despite her husband's trust and assurance, she feels the need to address the constant comments and suspicions from their families. The test reveals that her husband is the father, but also uncovers that her father-in-law is not his biological father. While the woman wants to confront her mother-in-law, she realizes the potential fallout and advises her husband to consider their options and the impact on their family.
Sentimentality, Family Secrets, and Decision-Making
The discussion on whether to reveal the truth to the father-in-law becomes a complex matter. The husband's lack of standing up to his family's comments is seen as a fault, but the question arises if telling the father-in-law would cause more harm than good. The idea of exploring loyalty, peace of mind, and the potential consequences of unraveling family dynamics is debated. Ultimately, the couple has to decide whether uncovering the secret is worth the potential damage it may cause to their family relationships.
The best place to tell your secrets - the internet! This week Grant and Maia share stories from Reddit's AITA featuring secret hoarding, infidelity, and the ability to ruin a family.
