20 Secrets Married Men Keep From Their Spouses

“A friend of my wife’s contacted me privately to meet for coffee. Silly me, I thought her friend wanted to arrange a surprise party or something. Instead, she informed me that my wife was having an affair and with whom. I didn’t blow things up because my stepson was about six months from graduating high school, and I didn’t want to ruin the memories of his senior year. Hence the secret: I knew she was having an affair and that I would divorce her right after graduation.”

“I enjoyed six months of being quiet and passive-aggressive while preparing myself for the big day. Although the actual moment I told her I knew about the affair was anti-climatic, I enjoyed being prepared while she scrambled. And the dude dumped her a few months after we split up.”
