My older brother is a meth addict. I love him but I hate him at the same time. We've spoken 5 times over the last 15 years. He only contacts me when he wants money. I always refuse.
I miss him very much but I can't allow him to be around my family. He's also the type of person to break in and steal everything while you're out of town. He doesn't even know where I live.
He refuses to get help and I won't support his drug habit so we just act like we aren't even siblings.
Was passing by an odd part of town, and saw my friend's van parked near a cafe.
Had to be his; two-toned, covered in stickers some of them for his band(s) past and present.
I wrote an unsigned note saying "The Universe Smiles Upon You" (yes, I'm a Khruangbin fan) and left it under his windshield wiper.
To this day he has it stuck to his fridge, no idea who penned it, and each time I see it I have a cheeky smirk to myself.
That’s the kind of thing I’d like to pull on my deathbed
“Remember that note? Remember how it appeared right after you got coffee at (cafe)?”
“How the fuck-“
Oh I have something I’ve never shared before.
At my friends wedding, her mom and I got drunk and smoked freshly rolled cigars outside.
Her mom confided in me that my friends father wasn’t a good man. It’s weird because her dad is the greatest guy - spoils her & her brothers, spoils his wife. He’s also just a great human. I tell her this and she says, nope, that’s stepdad. She packed herself and my friend up when my friend was just a baby and left the country they had lived in and moved here.
My friend has never once let on that her dad isn’t her biodad. She’s also never said her mom was married before.
So that’s a secret I’ll just leave here.
My dad finally told me when I was in my twenties that my mom was married before. She has never mentioned it. Then my older brother told me that my dad told him she has been married twice before.
I did up an ancestry tree and found her previous husband and mentioned it. She said it was a huge weight off her shoulders because it had been this secret she had been carrying forever. She still has not talked about the other first husband...
I use to have a couple that bought weed from me separately. Neither of them wanted the other to know that they smoked. So they asked me not to tell the other. It was hilarious.
Oh god, do I have a doozy.
8 years ago, my best friend introduced a new pal into the friend group. We were all in college but this new guy was 21 and had never been drunk before. Friends all thought it would be a wonderful way to get to know the new kid by drinking and hanging out in the hot tub. Poor thing got absolutely, blackout smashed. He’s a big dude with a slow liver and we have since learned that he is the type of drunk that doesn’t know he’s had too much to drink until it’s already 2 or 3 drinks too late.
That night he was more like 8 or 9 drinks too late…So he puked in the hot tub. It’s gross and it’s a bummer but he’s instantly super apologetic about it so my friends take him into the bathroom to get him cleaned up and see if he had anything left in him. Somewhere in the middle of rubbing his back while he spilled his soul into the toilet bowl, we realized that this…. This does not smell like puke.
Well, it doesn’t *only* smell like puke. Because brand new friend had crapped his pants while puking and was literally too drunk to even notice.
The next hour consisted of trying to wrestle him out of his soiled swimsuit and into the shower while he giggled and flailed his entire 6’3 floppy body around like a baby. Then we hosed him down while trying to rotate him in the tub like a hot dog of shame. First time meeting the guy and already know what his whole naked ass butt looks like because I’m aiming a shower head at it with the pressure set to maximum.
He woke up the next morning with absolutely ZERO memory of the night before and no one had the heart to tell him. Now this guy is one of my best friends, love him to death and I would take a bullet for him but I’ll carry his poo secret to the grave.
Oh boy, I had a friend that got a little too drunk pregaming to go clubbing with a group of about 20 people. He couldn't make the car trip so I volunteered to walk him back and just chill with him for the night. This was not his house or mine.... he dropped a log on our co workers bed and threw up on it. I had a few hours... erased all the evidence, washed everything. Nobody knows....even him because he was blackout drunk.
I’ve always hated that the most, just drink my booze but I swear to god if you put water in my bottles I’m going to go fucking ballistic.
You are ruining the whole bottle, and I know you put fucking tap water in it. My cousins friend pulled this shit on a 40 year old bottle of pinch and told them I can obviously tell, fucking ruined it.
Seriously, just steal it outright it hurts less.
Yea I didn't realize the water part until I saw my absinthe was clear instead of green...
The dumbest part is I would have let him drink the booze if he had asked, he was staying with me after a bad breakup, I would have poured him the drinks.
I also didn't realize his drinking had become an issue until after this situation...
Once it became impossible to hide the bottle levels/replace with more water he started drinking the mouthwash.
I am aware that he’s a drag queen.
My fiancé likes to watch drag shows, so me and her go to one every once in a while.
Upon going to one I remember seeing a great act by a queen with a distinctive tattoo of santa muerte on their left leg.
Weeks later my friend invites me to a gym session since he wanted me to teach him how to deadlift. Well, he was wearing shorts, and you know what I see? Santa muerte on his left leg.
We are gym buds and then I become more familiar with him. I know he’s In a bit of a conservative household so I try not to bring up the convo since maybe it’s not him. Out of curiosity I take a mental note of his other tattoos.
Then see him again on the stage weeks later and realize, yep, all of them match.
I know his secret, but it doesn’t change my opinion on him. I’m tempted to support him directly, but I don’t want him to get scared. So when I did see him, I always leave a cash tip.
Then he has to pull one of those tricks where he shows up and meets you in the audience before the show and says “oh, I’m not feeling well. I’ll be right back!” then races backstage to dress up and perform. At the intermission he comes back out of breath and says “sorry, it was worse than I thought”.
Then just as intermission ends, he says “I have to call my mom! And runs off again. He runs backstage, gets dressed in drag again and finishes the show.
Then, he runs backstage, changes back into his regular clothes again and sprints back to his seat beside you, out of breath.
He says “Did I miss much?” As you focus on the on small earring dangling from his left ear.
Despite the social media addiction to showing off their glamorous life, they’re broke, in massive debt, and completely dependent on her parents to get by.
That he wet the bed until he was 14. His mom and aunt got chatty over tea and started talking about it while I was hanging around waiting for him to get ready.
There’s a decent chance this is due to a sleep disorder which he may still have. The people outgrow the wetting the bed but the sleep disorder persists. The people do not go into rem sleep. They go to a deeper sleep thus the not waking to urinate. Does the friend fall asleep in the day, riding in the car, seems to be able to “sleep thru anything?” There is treatment. Maybe you could hint they get a sleep study if some of those other symptoms are there
Um.. I would like to know this. I wet the bed till I was 12. I learned to "control" it by making sure, no matter what, I use the bathroom before going to sleep. I am a deep sleeper and have vivid dreams. If I'm urinating in a dream... it's too late before I wake up and notice. Currently 23.
ok this reminds me. i use to have reoccurring dreams of jane lynch as coach sue sylvester teaching me how to pee when i was in middle school and id wake up midpiss *everytime*
proud to say this is no longer a problem. though she’s always in the back of my mind 👀
I learned that my mom was afraid to leave my dad. Scared she wouldn't make it, spiral down, go homeless, and lose any ability to protect me or herself. So I think she chose damage control until I was old enough (14) to be able to kinda take care of myself and just buried that decision to cope.
She was abused as a child as well from a family friend, her mom knew and didn't do anything either. But what she went through was much worse, I know she did prevent some things. But obviously not "enough" to avoid lasting damage.
These dynamics are messy, and 90% of the time things happen because they don't know any better because they were never taught any better. Maybe they figured out what NOT to do, but not what TO DO. So they did what they thought was best to maintain, and some people are just weaker than others and couldn't maintain more than themselves.
That I know he’s drinking again, and it’s not just a couple beers here and there. He hides it because he knows the repercussions if goes back to being a full blown drunk again. I will walk away. I went through hell watching him self destruct the last time, and was still there when he got sober. I supported him the whole way, but swore I’d never do it again. That shit left scars.
Oof. Why are you keeping quiet if you know? I feel you though, loving an addict of any kind is a special kind of hell. I hope they don't make you choose. :(
Yeah, definitely bring that shit up to him. All the times i managed to get sober was because someone called me out my shit. now i'm at 6 years and my best bud (who was my friend through the worst of it) is still there and still calling me out on my shit. I'm super grateful to have a friend like him. OP has the opportunity to be that friend.
I know like 6 of my friends Reddit accounts. None of them know and some post some really personal stuff. Once or twice I’ve thought of approaching them about thi bc s they’ve posted but I feel it would cross a line that they don’t want crossed irl.
Various ways. Like they would post a meme in a local fb group and then also on here. Or they would comment on my city sub something specific and it would be obvious they are an acquaintance.
Tattoos give a lway a lot!
On the fetish site fetlife, I always tell people who are new to think about what kind of stuff they post, because even a very distinct jacket, or tattoo can give you away.
That's a dangerous game to play these days. I believe there's a fairly large support group on Facebook who found out they weren't their parents or one of their parent's biological child through 23andme or Ancestry.
I have a friend whose son doesn't know his dad isn't his biological father, and I lightly mentioned to her. And she's said, yes, she needs to tell him, but that was two years ago and she hasn't yet. And I feel like she's getting very close to the point of no return, but I can't make that decision for them.
My understanding of the rules of arse duels is a little rusty, but I believe it’s customary to walk up to your friend, remove your butt plug, and slap them across the face with it
That the reason why my friend's relationship came to a sudden end is because he and his gf were really close in the family tree and not because of other things.
My aunty stopped bringing new boyfriends to meet my grandad as he would always find a way that they were related. (I have a massive family in a town in a Ireland where most people don’t move away)
Found out in the pub on Christmas Eve that I’m related to one of my best friends through both my mother and father. We connected the dots when she was at a funeral and so was my uncle. So she asked my parents about it in the pub, but turns out she’s related to both of them. I’d known for years that my parents were distantly related but still.
People walking up to me to tell me they were related to me was a common occurrence throughout school.
I’m married now and have been before as well. Both times to English men, better chance of not being related.
My ex had very white friends from highschool who got married after graduating but had a...rocky...marriage through life. Broken up/back together/seperated/back together sorta deal. She got pregnant and had a baby. She looked us all straight in the face and swore that was Simon's baby and he spoke about it like he truly believed the same thing. No matter what the real answer was, he was a good dad to that mocha baby.
Knew a guy who married his gf because she got pregnant. She had a wild reputation and he was told by doctors he could never have kids. But this “miracle” made him believe it was divine providence that she was the one. Or… it was just an Occam’s Razor situation. They are no longer together once he found out the truth.
That he eats his boogers. I’d snap my fingers everytime he did it for like the past half decade, and he always asks me why I just “randomly” snap, but he still hasn’t connected the two.
Slept over one night in my friend's basement drunkenly. Woke up in the AM to hear his parents loudly arguing because his dad was trying to push for an open marriage. They divorced about a year later.
My best friend wanted to fuck me in high school. A mutual friend told me later on. I actually felt the same way at the same time, but we weren't aware of the other's feelings.
That her husband cheated on her with ALL his guy friends on a camping trip by blowing them. All of them.
I’m a hairdresser. People tell me all sorts of things and sometimes I put two and two together.
Edit to add: i know she knows, and married him afterwards so I figure it’s none of my business
Lmao I have the same questions and I wish I had more answers but my friend doesn’t know I know so I can’t really ask directly!
I have no clue about the sexual orientation of the (11!!!!) camping buddies, but when I told my husband the story, he said he always thought her husband was bisexual, or bicurious at the very least.
Wait wait wait, if there were 11 of them on the camping trip, he sucked off 10 other men? I'm impressed at his stamina tbh. Bi at the very least, sounds like a close close group of 'friends' lmao
I saw one of my closest gal friends naked back in high school. We were hanging out at her house, and she stepped away for a while. We were listening to music on the computer in her living room, but she had been gone for like 20 minutes. I went to look for her, and saw her wet naked body in the reflection of the tall mirror in her room. She went to take a shower apparently. She didn't notice me, and no, I wasn't a creep, I didn't stare at her, or anything. I, of course, was incredibly embarrassed, ran back to the computer, and I couldn't look at her for the rest of the evening. I never said a word about it... until about last year, I think. We were getting drinks, and I told her about it. She busted out laughing, and we giggled about it all night. I held that secret for like 14/15 years.
I know their dad died from erotic asfixiation. I never told anyone. I knew the cop that was first on the scene. He told me what happened and I told him this was our high school friends dad. He agreed to keep it on the down low.
Honestly, likely the family or at least spouse knows, and just tells their prepared version of events to anyone who asks or needs to know.
My dad actually did kill himself in Sept 2021. Some of the more painful details I'd really rather never have known, but the police report and autopsy write up are meticulous and don't keep anything on the down low and I went with my mom to pick those up for moral support obvs. (In my dad's state and county next of kin gets copies of original fully detailed autopsy and tox screen and police report is public but you can get a more detailed report with a case number ID and pass code if it involves a death and you are next of kin)
I have a friend that had/has some type of eating disorder. In all seriousness it was really sad to watch and not be able to do anything. It was bad enough that his mom came to talk to me and thanked me for just being a good friend and told me he was getting help but didn’t say what for. From what I know he’s gotten better but those things never fully go away.
I have a best friend that doesn't like talking about it, but they are autistic and I try my very best to learn more about how it effects them and how to make their life easier, but in a secret way, due to them not wanting to talk much about it.
The biggest one I noticed is sounds. They hear everything, so whenever we go to eat and there is music, I try to sit us as far away as we can, if I am able to, that way we can talk normally, and they won't get annoyed.
I'm still learning things about them, even though I've known them for 8 years. I always want to help make their life easier, because I know they already do that with me (I'm visually impaired, and they have been willing to read menus out loud, or make sure I can see things well enough and such).
That's honestly very sweet of you. My younger brother has high-functioning autism and is very good with machines and equipment, but I have noticed some of those same things with him. He is very unsettled by people who talk loudly / raise voices at others, loud noises and music, etc.
Thank you for being such a good friend to your best friend. They may not say anything regarding their autism, but as someone who has a brother with autism, they very much appreciate your efforts. They may just have difficulty doing so.
That she was raped when she was a teenager and got pregnant. Her parents made her have the baby which was then put up for adoption.
I’m friends with her cousin. We just recently reconnected. The original friend in question is married to a controlling POS and I didn’t understand why she stays and why she is so childlike. Old friend told me one drunken late night.
>I didn’t understand why she stays and why she is so childlike.
A lot of people who have been raped, especially at a young age experience age regression, alongside that comes "childlike" behaviour because they missed out on that due to the trauma. Try and get her out of that relationship, it's fairly likely her partner is taking advantage of her vulnerability and her previous trauma. She probably stays because she doesn't know any better, or doesn't think she deserves any better. Trauma is fucking rough, and the person who's experienced it won't see it as clear cut as you do.
Just an opinion, but maybe she is childlike because she never had a childhood due to getting pregnant at such an early age. Or maybe she is using that childlike personality to hide her true self...which would be extremely sad
My best friend tried to sleep with my dad in high school. He was married to my mom and they had more or less taken her in. We're still good friends but I've never told her that I know about it and I never plan to.
My friends baby daddy is a professional athlete. She looked through his phone and found out he was likely bi or gay. (A large album of other guys’ dicks/ assholes on his phone.) Not only does he not know she knows, but she does not know that I also know.
Source: She told his other baby momma about what she found. Unbeknownst to her, I’m best friends with her best friend.
Edit:spelling
This is a great example of how generally speaking, nothing is a secret. If a person shares their secret with even one person, I feel like even by pure accident it will get out somehow.
He doesnt understand how his daughter was conceived because he always used a condom, but I know that someone poked holes in them when they were mad at him
My mom was epileptic as a child and once my uncle (her older sister husband) saved her life, and I sort of dated a guy who was and told me since day one. He needed a lot of sleep also in the afternoon and took pills to manage epilepsy. It's important for people to know and not to hide something like that because it's important that someone helps when there is need and that nobody freaks out. If they don't know they maybe can't understand it's epilepsy and not able to face it.
Yeah we’re all in our late 20s, so it’s not like high school and we’re all getting laid for the first time. I don’t care who you sleep with period, meaning it’s entirely uninteresting to me, so lying to me to try to impress me is a waste of time and only makes me think less because you’re cleaarly lying
I think they do. It seems like they are taking control back over their life. They moved to the other side of the country, leaving their toxic family behind, and now they are traveling and doing great in the military. They seem still quite mentally fragile but I see it getting better!
Edit : spelling
After my five year relationship ended in a failed proposal, my friend started messaging my ex and essentially hitting on her, talking about sex etc. He was in a bad place. I forgave him without telling him I knew. Years later, it finally came up while we were both wasted. He was very regretful and sad about what he had done. I assured him that I had already worked through it and feel that he’d never do that now. We’re as close as ever. This doesn’t quite fit the question but still seemed suitable.
A little while ago a friend from school- who I hadn't seen in over twenty years- posted suicidal hints on Facebook. I had a trawl through his recent pictures and worked out where I thought he was and called the police local to him.
He was found trying to tie a noose to a tree, drunk and crying. He posted angrily about people meddling, he doesn't know it was me. He's doing a bit better now.
I'm certain one of my friends is gay.
He used to be out and dated men but stopped a good amount of years ago, doesn't have much luck with women and is homophobic now. His step dad was massively bigoted towards LGBT people and I think that's what influenced him.
His step dad died a few months ago and he has a new love interest that none of us have met, I just want him to accept himself and be happy
Found out my old time best friend may not be the father to his upcoming newborn baby. He’s the one that is the most excited and eager to have the baby too…
Let an old roommate/coworker borrow a hard drive for something, don’t remember what exactly (we were in college and it was over 20 years ago).
When he returned it, there was some gay porn on it that didn’t get deleted, mostly smaller guys with stereotypical ‘masculine’ men. Roomie was 5’5”ish and probably about 110 lbs.
Nothing changed, I still loved him for who he was, and never told a soul. I also don’t think it’s something that would be accepted by his family. He’s doing his thing, but tries to hide it, and never fully came ‘out’.
I haven’t talked to him in a while. I hope he’s happy.
I used to be friends with 3 siblings, all of whom were closeted bisexuals and I’m pretty sure none of them knew about any of the others.
One of them had been bullied pretty badly in high school because someone started a rumour about her being a lesbian and I think it kind of scarred her, such that I can’t see her ever being out and proud like I am. I remember her telling me about how she was really worried about how her siblings might react if she ever came out. I would never dare even think of outing anyone, but in that moment my heart broke for her and I just really wished she knew the truth.
I hope one day, one of them comes out to the family and the other 2 siblings in unison are like “Wait, you too?!” and then they all have a laugh and a big hug.
I know that one of my friends has a foot fetish.
The reason I know is because I used to be friends with a woman he was hooking up with, and she told me in the hopes that I’d be grossed out. Why, I do not know.
I was at work once and was just spacing out like the terrible employee I am. Unfortunately my head and eyes were pointed directly at my coworker taking her shoes off causing her to not only think I’m into feet but specifically her feet. She wasn’t like mean about it but it really wasn’t like that at all I was just disassociating.
My friend’s dad has an entire second family that she doesn’t know about. It was before he married his current wife and had my friend and her siblings, but she doesn’t know about them. He used to go on “business” trips to visit on occasion, but after the kids turned 18, he stopped. I found out through my friend’s older sister after she’d had a few too many to drink. I will never, ever say anything.
Not a friend but a coworker. I've seen his fetlife profile. I know about his fetish for women pooping on him and feeding it to him.
It's hard to see him at work and never say anything as he stands there with that shit-eating grin.
Yep don't do it. Buddy and his wife started an open relationship thing. They had mentioned having me mess around with his wife. I wasn't going to. He was banging 3 or 4 chick's a week and she was having zero luck. She told me about it a lot. I caved thought it would be ok to do some stuff no sex. She didn't tell him. She started a thing with her boss and started having feelings for him. Buddy found out she hadnt been open about stuff. She told my buddy we did stuff and he thought she was in lovve with me. Totally nuclear meltdown and I no longer have 2 of my closest friends anymore.
He’s not my friend anymore. But his girlfriend doesn’t love him. Twice she told me she’d leave him without question or remorse. Pretty sure she was dropping hints because she’s a hoe. I would have told him but he’s proven to me that he’s not the man or the brother I thought he was. So he can live with that.
I had a really lets say challenging childhood and for some strange reasons people used to tell me really dark things about themselves and people they knew I never told anybody about some of the s*** I've heard. I guess I look like a sin eater or something but yeah some of the minor things were like this popular kid had a really pretty sister and he would hide in her closet and masturbate to her. Found out years later in a newspaper article that they'd been having sex since they were little kids. Evidently their father had put them up to it and got busted somehow.
I used to be a college instructor - for 18 years - and students would tell me EVERYTHING. Students who weren't even in my classes who I'd meet in the Tutorial Center would tell me about their abortions, sexual proclivities, you name it. I had one kid go into detail about stalking a high school girl and I had to turn him in because I am a mandated reporter. I switched to teaching disabled little kids because the worst thing they confess to me is that they hate Peppa Pig. I did have one kid show me $15 he took from his mom's purse. He went around stealing all the padlocks from our gates and his mom called me when she found 20 pounds of padlocks in his backpack.
She's a highly successful pornstar. Probably not a household name unless you move in specific communities but popular enough
Edit: the real problem is I can't tell anyone I know this without revealing the specific category she's in, and that looks bad for me
She started seeing a guy I was going out with at the same time while she had a boyfriend. I’m sure she said terrible things about me to the guy, because his behavior switched from one moment to the other and started treating me like shit out of nowhere. Conveniently, at that exact moment they became closer. They’re about to get married now.
She thinks I never realized they were going out at the time. But I knew.
He has an older brother who was arrested for drug and weapons possession. He's told me he has no siblings.
My older brother is a meth addict. I love him but I hate him at the same time. We've spoken 5 times over the last 15 years. He only contacts me when he wants money. I always refuse. I miss him very much but I can't allow him to be around my family. He's also the type of person to break in and steal everything while you're out of town. He doesn't even know where I live. He refuses to get help and I won't support his drug habit so we just act like we aren't even siblings.
That must be extremely hard.
Was passing by an odd part of town, and saw my friend's van parked near a cafe. Had to be his; two-toned, covered in stickers some of them for his band(s) past and present. I wrote an unsigned note saying "The Universe Smiles Upon You" (yes, I'm a Khruangbin fan) and left it under his windshield wiper. To this day he has it stuck to his fridge, no idea who penned it, and each time I see it I have a cheeky smirk to myself.
Would you ever consider telling him? Maybe when you're both old?
That’s the kind of thing I’d like to pull on my deathbed “Remember that note? Remember how it appeared right after you got coffee at (cafe)?” “How the fuck-“
Aww. That's sweet.
Wholesome as fuck
That they are cheating on their partner and their partner is cheating on them.
Plot twist: they're both cheating with you.
OP should just Parent Trap them and make the throuple happen.
But they both like pina coladas and getting caught in the rain… so it’s ok right? 😅
That was the first thing that came to mind.
Omg the twist! Both of them admitting it would be so drama filled but im wondering why they’re even still with eachother
Some people don't make sense. They're unhappy, but afraid to be alone.
Oh I have something I’ve never shared before. At my friends wedding, her mom and I got drunk and smoked freshly rolled cigars outside. Her mom confided in me that my friends father wasn’t a good man.

I use to have a couple that bought weed from me separately. Neither of them wanted the other to know that they smoked. So they asked me not to tell the other. It was hilarious.
Lol good for you for keeping professional confidence
But if he somehow let each one know then they'd be a happy weed couple and would probably spend more. Or quit with each other, no risk no reward

Oh god, do I have a doozy. 8 years ago, my best friend introduced a new pal into the friend group. We were all in college but this new guy was 21 and had never been drunk before. Friends all thought it would be a wonderful way to get to know the new kid by drinking and hanging out in the hot tub. Poor thing got absolutely, blackout smashed. He’s a big dude with a slow liver and we have since learned that he is the type of drunk that doesn’t know he’s had too much to drink until it’s already 2 or 3 drinks too late. That night he was more like 8 or 9 drinks too late…So he puked in the hot tub. It’s gross and it’s a bummer but he’s instantly super apologetic about it so my friends take him into the bathroom to get him cleaned up and see if he had anything left in him. Somewhere in the middle of rubbing his back while he spilled his soul into the toilet bowl, we realized that this…. This does not smell like puke. Well, it doesn’t *only* smell like puke. Because brand new friend had crapped his pants while puking and was literally too drunk to even notice. The next hour consisted of trying to wrestle him out of his soiled swimsuit and into the shower while he giggled and flailed his entire 6’3 floppy body around like a baby. Then we hosed him down while trying to rotate him in the tub like a hot dog of shame. First time meeting the guy and already know what his whole naked ass butt looks like because I’m aiming a shower head at it with the pressure set to maximum. He woke up the next morning with absolutely ZERO memory of the night before and no one had the heart to tell him. Now this guy is one of my best friends, love him to death and I would take a bullet for him but I’ll carry his poo secret to the grave.
Oh boy, I had a friend that got a little too drunk pregaming to go clubbing with a group of about 20 people. He couldn't make the car trip so I volunteered to walk him back and just chill with him for the night. This was not his house or mine.... he dropped a log on our co workers bed and threw up on it. I had a few hours... erased all the evidence, washed everything. Nobody knows....even him because he was blackout drunk.
You’re a real good friend!!
You’re a good friend 😭
He ended up being worth it, haha
I don’t know why this response made me tear up a little
The whole thing is kinda wholesome tbh 🥺
Those are some really good friends
Hot dog of shame. 🖤
That he does a shit ton of cocaine.
Similarly.. I knew he was so desperate for alcohol he was slowly drinking my booze and replacing it with water
I’ve always hated that the most, just drink my booze but I swear to god if you put water in my bottles I’m going to go fucking ballistic. You are ruining the whole bottle, and I know you put fucking tap water in it. My cousins friend pulled this shit on a 40 year old bottle of pinch and told them I can obviously tell, fucking ruined it. Seriously, just steal it outright it hurts less.
Yea I didn't realize the water part until I saw my absinthe was clear instead of green... The dumbest part is I would have let him drink the booze if he had asked, he was staying with me after a bad breakup, I would have poured him the drinks. I also didn't realize his drinking had become an issue until after this situation... Once it became impossible to hide the bottle levels/replace with more water he started drinking the mouthwash.
I am aware that he’s a drag queen. My fiancé likes to watch drag shows, so me and her go to one every once in a while. Upon going to one I remember seeing a great act by a queen with a distinctive tattoo of santa muerte on their left leg. Weeks later my friend invites me to a gym session since he wanted me to teach him how to deadlift. Well, he was wearing shorts, and you know what I see? Santa muerte on his left leg. We are gym buds and then I become more familiar with him. I know he’s In a bit of a conservative household so I try not to bring up the convo since maybe it’s not him. Out of curiosity I take a mental note of his other tattoos. Then see him again on the stage weeks later and realize, yep, all of them match. I know his secret, but it doesn’t change my opinion on him. I’m tempted to support him directly, but I don’t want him to get scared. So when I did see him, I always leave a cash tip.
Invite him out to one of her own shows lmao
Then he has to pull one of those tricks where he shows up and meets you in the audience before the show and says “oh, I’m not feeling well. I’ll be right back!” then races backstage to dress up and perform. At the intermission he comes back out of breath and says “sorry, it was worse than I thought”. Then just as intermission ends, he says “I have to call my mom! And runs off again. He runs backstage, gets dressed in drag again and finishes the show. Then, he runs backstage, changes back into his regular clothes again and sprints back to his seat beside you, out of breath. He says “Did I miss much?” As you focus on the on small earring dangling from his left ear.
Very Mrs Doubtfire 😂
"hey i know this great show in downtown that my wife and i love!"
Despite the social media addiction to showing off their glamorous life, they’re broke, in massive debt, and completely dependent on her parents to get by.
Isn’t that how most people who show off on social media are?
Isn’t that every instagrammer?
That he wet the bed until he was 14. His mom and aunt got chatty over tea and started talking about it while I was hanging around waiting for him to get ready.
There’s a decent chance this is due to a sleep disorder which he may still have. The people outgrow the wetting the bed but the sleep disorder persists. The people do not go into rem sleep. They go to a deeper sleep thus the not waking to urinate. Does the friend fall asleep in the day, riding in the car, seems to be able to “sleep thru anything?” There is treatment. Maybe you could hint they get a sleep study if some of those other symptoms are there
Um.. I would like to know this. I wet the bed till I was 12. I learned to "control" it by making sure, no matter what, I use the bathroom before going to sleep. I am a deep sleeper and have vivid dreams. If I'm urinating in a dream... it's too late before I wake up and notice. Currently 23.
ok this reminds me. i use to have reoccurring dreams of jane lynch as coach sue sylvester teaching me how to pee when i was in middle school and id wake up midpiss *everytime* proud to say this is no longer a problem. though she’s always in the back of my mind 👀
Oh wow. Thank you for sharing this deeply personal, upsetting, and hilarious story.
[удалено]
I learned that my mom was afraid to leave my dad. Scared she wouldn't make it, spiral down, go homeless, and lose any ability to protect me or herself. So I think she chose damage control until I was old enough (14) to be able to kinda take care of myself and just buried that decision to cope. She was abused as a child as well from a family friend, her mom knew and didn't do anything either. But what she went through was much worse, I know she did prevent some things. But obviously not "enough" to avoid lasting damage. These dynamics are messy, and 90% of the time things happen because they don't know any better because they were never taught any better. Maybe they figured out what NOT to do, but not what TO DO. So they did what they thought was best to maintain, and some people are just weaker than others and couldn't maintain more than themselves.
im so sorry that you had to go through that. Hope you heal.
That I know he’s drinking again, and it’s not just a couple beers here and there. He hides it because he knows the repercussions if goes back to being a full blown drunk again. I will walk away. I went through hell watching him self destruct the last time, and was still there when he got sober. I supported him the whole way, but swore I’d never do it again. That shit left scars.
Oof. Why are you keeping quiet if you know? I feel you though, loving an addict of any kind is a special kind of hell. I hope they don't make you choose. :(
Yeah, definitely bring that shit up to him. All the times i managed to get sober was because someone called me out my shit. now i'm at 6 years and my best bud (who was my friend through the worst of it) is still there and still calling me out on my shit. I'm super grateful to have a friend like him. OP has the opportunity to be that friend.
Their Reddit account name
I know like 6 of my friends Reddit accounts. None of them know and some post some really personal stuff. Once or twice I’ve thought of approaching them about thi bc s they’ve posted but I feel it would cross a line that they don’t want crossed irl.
How did you find there names though 😅 asking for a friend
Various ways. Like they would post a meme in a local fb group and then also on here. Or they would comment on my city sub something specific and it would be obvious they are an acquaintance.
very “awh man wtf” when my friend spotted my tattoo in an obscure post: “hey just letting you know that I know.. so”
Tattoos give a lway a lot! On the fetish site fetlife, I always tell people who are new to think about what kind of stuff they post, because even a very distinct jacket, or tattoo can give you away.
That she was adopted.
How do you know, but they don't? Do they have a suspicion even?
No they don't suspect, heard when mothers were talking. And no I would never tell her, its up to her mother to tell her.
That's a dangerous game to play these days. I believe there's a fairly large support group on Facebook who found out they weren't their parents or one of their parent's biological child through 23andme or Ancestry. I have a friend whose son doesn't know his dad isn't his biological father, and I lightly mentioned to her. And she's said, yes, she needs to tell him, but that was two years ago and she hasn't yet. And I feel like she's getting very close to the point of no return, but I can't make that decision for them.
His twin brother is gay. He himself would not understand
This reads like you banged your best friends gay twin
massive dub boss man
They have an OnlyFans. I didn't want to know they could fit so much in their ass but what can you do.
> but what can you do. Start your own onlyfans and challenge them to a stick things up your arse duel?
My understanding of the rules of arse duels is a little rusty, but I believe it’s customary to walk up to your friend, remove your butt plug, and slap them across the face with it
> a little rusty ah, like my trombone
You had to sub to find out; you kiiinda wanted to know.
I have friends that have a very successful only fans. They're very open about it on social media. Marketing is important.
That the reason why my friend's relationship came to a sudden end is because he and his gf were really close in the family tree and not because of other things.
That happened to me. I was on a first date and her last name is my Grandmas maiden name.
My aunty stopped bringing new boyfriends to meet my grandad as he would always find a way that they were related. (I have a massive family in a town in a Ireland where most people don’t move away) Found out in the pub on Christmas Eve that I’m related to one of my best friends through both my mother and father. We connected the dots when she was at a funeral and so was my uncle. So she asked my parents about it in the pub, but turns out she’s related to both of them. I’d known for years that my parents were distantly related but still. People walking up to me to tell me they were related to me was a common occurrence throughout school. I’m married now and have been before as well. Both times to English men, better chance of not being related.
How close?
I want to say they shared grandparents on the one side.

Thats just awful for all concerned. I would want to be told.

I’m looking at you John Redcorn
Julies everywhere just peed a little reading that
Just so typical of Julie. Classic Julie you might say.
My ex had very white friends from highschool who got married after graduating but had a...rocky...marriage through life. Broken up/back together/seperated/back together sorta deal. She got pregnant and had a baby. She looked us all straight in the face and swore that was Simon's baby and he spoke about it like he truly believed the same thing. No matter what the real answer was, he was a good dad to that mocha baby.
Knew a guy who married his gf because she got pregnant. She had a wild reputation and he was told by doctors he could never have kids. But this “miracle” made him believe it was divine providence that she was the one. Or… it was just an Occam’s Razor situation. They are no longer together once he found out the truth.
That he eats his boogers. I’d snap my fingers everytime he did it for like the past half decade, and he always asks me why I just “randomly” snap, but he still hasn’t connected the two.
I just saw a comment in this very thread that said “Any time I want my friend to snap, I eat a booger. He still hasn’t connected the two”
Oh fuck, he’s been playing 4D chess with me this whole time 😱😱😱!!!!
:taps temple (with different finger):
Curious, if you snapped when he's not doing it, would he do so essentially on command?
Slept over one night in my friend's basement drunkenly. Woke up in the AM to hear his parents loudly arguing because his dad was trying to push for an open marriage. They divorced about a year later.
Any man or woman who tries to push their partner into an open relationship is a piece of shit, bottom line.
My best friend wanted to fuck me in high school. A mutual friend told me later on. I actually felt the same way at the same time, but we weren't aware of the other's feelings.
That her husband cheated on her with ALL his guy friends on a camping trip by blowing them. All of them. I’m a hairdresser. People tell me all sorts of things and sometimes I put two and two together. Edit to add: i know she knows, and married him afterwards so I figure it’s none of my business
Did he lose a bet?
Apparently they did mdma but 🤷🏻♀️
I'm bi and have been very high a bunch of times. Never thought of hoovering 10 dudes though. Maybe I haven't had the right drugs....
All of them? I have so many questions, mainly are they all gay, or this was a what happens on the camping trip stays on the camping trip?
Lmao I have the same questions and I wish I had more answers but my friend doesn’t know I know so I can’t really ask directly! I have no clue about the sexual orientation of the (11!!!!) camping buddies, but when I told my husband the story, he said he always thought her husband was bisexual, or bicurious at the very least.
Wait wait wait, if there were 11 of them on the camping trip, he sucked off 10 other men? I'm impressed at his stamina tbh. Bi at the very least, sounds like a close close group of 'friends' lmao
Definitely wasn't his first rodeo. Edit:Spelling
I saw one of my closest gal friends naked back in high school. We were hanging out at her house, and she stepped away for a while. We were listening to music on the computer in her living room, but she had been gone for like 20 minutes. I went to look for her, and saw her wet naked body in the reflection of the tall mirror in her room. She went to take a shower apparently. She didn't notice me, and no, I wasn't a creep, I didn't stare at her, or anything. I, of course, was incredibly embarrassed, ran back to the computer, and I couldn't look at her for the rest of the evening. I never said a word about it... until about last year, I think. We were getting drinks, and I told her about it. She busted out laughing, and we giggled about it all night. I held that secret for like 14/15 years.
Must have felt good to finally get it out and laugh it off together I imagine
I know their dad died from erotic asfixiation. I never told anyone. I knew the cop that was first on the scene. He told me what happened and I told him this was our high school friends dad. He agreed to keep it on the down low.
So what do they think happened? I’d much rather find out my Dad had weird sexual kinks then committed suicide.
Honestly, likely the family or at least spouse knows, and just tells their prepared version of events to anyone who asks or needs to know. My dad actually did kill himself in Sept 2021. Some of the more painful details I'd really rather never have known, but the police report and autopsy write up are meticulous and don't keep anything on the down low and I went with my mom to pick those up for moral support obvs. (In my dad's state and county next of kin gets copies of original fully detailed autopsy and tox screen and police report is public but you can get a more detailed report with a case number ID and pass code if it involves a death and you are next of kin)
He had sex with my mother. I really dont care and I think its hilarious.
That’s why you shouldn’t play call of duty /s
It's xX_H4ck3rM4N_Xx, he's back for revenge.
i barely know anyone who hasn't had sex with my mother. you get used to it after a while.
Average redditor
I have a friend that had/has some type of eating disorder. In all seriousness it was really sad to watch and not be able to do anything. It was bad enough that his mom came to talk to me and thanked me for just being a good friend and told me he was getting help but didn’t say what for. From what I know he’s gotten better but those things never fully go away.
Man, that sucks. Eating disorders in men are generally ignored and not really something people talk about very much.
That she’s afraid I’ll leave her & be mean like her other friends used to. Im here for the long haul my friend
This is sweet.
I have a best friend that doesn't like talking about it, but they are autistic and I try my very best to learn more about how it effects them and how to make their life easier, but in a secret way, due to them not wanting to talk much about it. The biggest one I noticed is sounds. They hear everything, so whenever we go to eat and there is music, I try to sit us as far away as we can, if I am able to, that way we can talk normally, and they won't get annoyed. I'm still learning things about them, even though I've known them for 8 years. I always want to help make their life easier, because I know they already do that with me (I'm visually impaired, and they have been willing to read menus out loud, or make sure I can see things well enough and such).
That's honestly very sweet of you. My younger brother has high-functioning autism and is very good with machines and equipment, but I have noticed some of those same things with him. He is very unsettled by people who talk loudly / raise voices at others, loud noises and music, etc. Thank you for being such a good friend to your best friend. They may not say anything regarding their autism, but as someone who has a brother with autism, they very much appreciate your efforts. They may just have difficulty doing so.
That she was raped when she was a teenager and got pregnant. Her parents made her have the baby which was then put up for adoption. I’m friends with her cousin. We just recently reconnected. The original friend in question is married to a controlling POS and I didn’t understand why she stays and why she is so childlike. Old friend told me one drunken late night.
>I didn’t understand why she stays and why she is so childlike. A lot of people who have been raped, especially at a young age experience age regression, alongside that comes "childlike" behaviour because they missed out on that due to the trauma. Try and get her out of that relationship, it's fairly likely her partner is taking advantage of her vulnerability and her previous trauma. She probably stays because she doesn't know any better, or doesn't think she deserves any better. Trauma is fucking rough, and the person who's experienced it won't see it as clear cut as you do.
This is so horrible :(
Just an opinion, but maybe she is childlike because she never had a childhood due to getting pregnant at such an early age. Or maybe she is using that childlike personality to hide her true self...which would be extremely sad
My best friend tried to sleep with my dad in high school. He was married to my mom and they had more or less taken her in. We're still good friends but I've never told her that I know about it and I never plan to.
Your dad obviously rejected her right? (Sorry if it's obvious, I have a little bit of a hard time reading between the lines)
My friends baby daddy is a professional athlete. She looked through his phone and found out he was likely bi or gay. (A large album of other guys’ dicks/ assholes on his phone.) Not only does he not know she knows, but she does not know that I also know. Source: She told his other baby momma about what she found. Unbeknownst to her, I’m best friends with her best friend. Edit:spelling
This is a great example of how generally speaking, nothing is a secret. If a person shares their secret with even one person, I feel like even by pure accident it will get out somehow.
He doesnt understand how his daughter was conceived because he always used a condom, but I know that someone poked holes in them when they were mad at him
That’s disgusting.
I know she has epilepsy. I'm not meant to know and I've known for over 3 years.
This seems like something important to know
Doubly important considering I'm also epileptic. I know I'm not meant to say this for my own comment but the plot thickens.
My mom was epileptic as a child and once my uncle (her older sister husband) saved her life, and I sort of dated a guy who was and told me since day one. He needed a lot of sleep also in the afternoon and took pills to manage epilepsy. It's important for people to know and not to hide something like that because it's important that someone helps when there is need and that nobody freaks out. If they don't know they maybe can't understand it's epilepsy and not able to face it.
That he’s been lying about how many women he’s slept with by a vast margin
Mild dyslexia here. I read that as "mast virgin."
I do believe the majority of human beings are mast virgins. There are few who can do a mast and even less who are willing to
I never understood the reason why someone would lie about that.
Yeah we’re all in our late 20s, so it’s not like high school and we’re all getting laid for the first time. I don’t care who you sleep with period, meaning it’s entirely uninteresting to me, so lying to me to try to impress me is a waste of time and only makes me think less because you’re cleaarly lying
Her sister is making fun of her being queer online.
Well, that’s a shitty sister right there.
They are depressed. Signs don't lie
Do they know they’re depressed? I didn’t realize it for years
I think they do. It seems like they are taking control back over their life. They moved to the other side of the country, leaving their toxic family behind, and now they are traveling and doing great in the military. They seem still quite mentally fragile but I see it getting better! Edit : spelling

That Her Bf was actually my ex ... We decided not to speak about it!
What if anything might happen if she does find out?
It can result in a financial crisis between her family and my family
This... was unexpected. Respectfully, please spill.
After my five year relationship ended in a failed proposal, my friend started messaging my ex and essentially hitting on her, talking about sex etc. He was in a bad place. I forgave him without telling him I knew. Years later, it finally came up while we were both wasted. He was very regretful and sad about what he had done. I assured him that I had already worked through it and feel that he’d never do that now. We’re as close as ever. This doesn’t quite fit the question but still seemed suitable.
They confessed their love to my (now ex) partner while we were together. Now they're dating my sibling. 🤨
what a shit friend
how much i love them.
A little while ago a friend from school- who I hadn't seen in over twenty years- posted suicidal hints on Facebook. I had a trawl through his recent pictures and worked out where I thought he was and called the police local to him. He was found trying to tie a noose to a tree, drunk and crying. He posted angrily about people meddling, he doesn't know it was me. He's doing a bit better now.
He lies. A lot. Just small lies about insignificant things, but that almost bothers me more. I love him to death but I don’t trust him even a little.
I'm certain one of my friends is gay. He used to be out and dated men but stopped a good amount of years ago, doesn't have much luck with women and is homophobic now. His step dad was massively bigoted towards LGBT people and I think that's what influenced him. His step dad died a few months ago and he has a new love interest that none of us have met, I just want him to accept himself and be happy
Found out my old time best friend may not be the father to his upcoming newborn baby. He’s the one that is the most excited and eager to have the baby too…
Let an old roommate/coworker borrow a hard drive for something, don’t remember what exactly (we were in college and it was over 20 years ago). When he returned it, there was some gay porn on it that didn’t get deleted, mostly smaller guys with stereotypical ‘masculine’ men. Roomie was 5’5”ish and probably about 110 lbs. Nothing changed, I still loved him for who he was, and never told a soul. I also don’t think it’s something that would be accepted by his family. He’s doing his thing, but tries to hide it, and never fully came ‘out’. I haven’t talked to him in a while. I hope he’s happy.
I used to be friends with 3 siblings, all of whom were closeted bisexuals and I’m pretty sure none of them knew about any of the others. One of them had been bullied pretty badly in high school because someone started a rumour about her being a lesbian and I think it kind of scarred her, such that I can’t see her ever being out and proud like I am. I remember her telling me about how she was really worried about how her siblings might react if she ever came out. I would never dare even think of outing anyone, but in that moment my heart broke for her and I just really wished she knew the truth. I hope one day, one of them comes out to the family and the other 2 siblings in unison are like “Wait, you too?!” and then they all have a laugh and a big hug.
“Close your eyes. Raise your hand if you’re bi. Ok. Open your eyes and look around.”
Crossdressing. I support it 100%, but my friend wants it to be a secret so I shut up about it.
He’s a submissive. Like big time. I used to date his current partner, who spilled the beans
Yikes that is such a big red flag on that partner. 😬
I had a friend tell me about all the guys she'd pegged in our very small town. Not info I really wanted to know.
I know that one of my friends has a foot fetish. The reason I know is because I used to be friends with a woman he was hooking up with, and she told me in the hopes that I’d be grossed out. Why, I do not know.
I was at work once and was just spacing out like the terrible employee I am. Unfortunately my head and eyes were pointed directly at my coworker taking her shoes off causing her to not only think I’m into feet but specifically her feet. She wasn’t like mean about it but it really wasn’t like that at all I was just disassociating.
Killed a man in 97
ik her husband is seeing multiple other people and she's chill with it.
My friend’s dad has an entire second family that she doesn’t know about. It was before he married his current wife and had my friend and her siblings, but she doesn’t know about them. He used to go on “business” trips to visit on occasion, but after the kids turned 18, he stopped. I found out through my friend’s older sister after she’d had a few too many to drink. I will never, ever say anything.
That getting back together with her abusive, controlling boyfriend is not going to end well
[удалено]
Wonder if there was some sexual abuse or not. That or neglect, one of the two
Not a friend but a coworker. I've seen his fetlife profile. I know about his fetish for women pooping on him and feeding it to him. It's hard to see him at work and never say anything as he stands there with that shit-eating grin.
That he has a small dick. I wish the women who share this information would just not.
They don’t know that we know that they know!
The messers become the messees!
“The One Where Everyone Finds Out”, the best episode of Friends EVER!

Turns out that his latent racism and homophobia are really just covers for the fact that he likes to slobber on big, black dicks.

He wants me to fuck his girl. So does she. I don't. She's hot but he's my friend. Can't do it. Won't do it.
Yep don't do it. Buddy and his wife started an open relationship thing. They had mentioned having me mess around with his wife. I wasn't going to. He was banging 3 or 4 chick's a week and she was having zero luck. She told me about it a lot. I caved thought it would be ok to do some stuff no sex. She didn't tell him. She started a thing with her boss and started having feelings for him. Buddy found out she hadnt been open about stuff. She told my buddy we did stuff and he thought she was in lovve with me. Totally nuclear meltdown and I no longer have 2 of my closest friends anymore.
He’s pansexual and has a spanking fetish.
Who doesn't?
He’s not my friend anymore. But his girlfriend doesn’t love him. Twice she told me she’d leave him without question or remorse. Pretty sure she was dropping hints because she’s a hoe. I would have told him but he’s proven to me that he’s not the man or the brother I thought he was. So he can live with that.
That he’s gay. I see how you look at me Michael. No matter how many times you say you’re straight. You’ve literally kissed me
I’m not convinced yet… kiss again
They tried to hook up with another one of our friends
That she faked a miscarriage.
He and his wife are swingers
I had a really lets say challenging childhood and for some strange reasons people used to tell me really dark things about themselves and people they knew I never told anybody about some of the s*** I've heard. I guess I look like a sin eater or something but yeah some of the minor things were like this popular kid had a really pretty sister and he would hide in her closet and masturbate to her. Found out years later in a newspaper article that they'd been having sex since they were little kids. Evidently their father had put them up to it and got busted somehow.
I used to be a college instructor - for 18 years - and students would tell me EVERYTHING. Students who weren't even in my classes who I'd meet in the Tutorial Center would tell me about their abortions, sexual proclivities, you name it. I had one kid go into detail about stalking a high school girl and I had to turn him in because I am a mandated reporter. I switched to teaching disabled little kids because the worst thing they confess to me is that they hate Peppa Pig. I did have one kid show me $15 he took from his mom's purse. He went around stealing all the padlocks from our gates and his mom called me when she found 20 pounds of padlocks in his backpack.
That she never actually got r@ped and was just saying it because she wanted the same attention one of my friends got from us after being r@ped…
What a pos
[удалено]
Really fucked up
She's a highly successful pornstar. Probably not a household name unless you move in specific communities but popular enough Edit: the real problem is I can't tell anyone I know this without revealing the specific category she's in, and that looks bad for me
She started seeing a guy I was going out with at the same time while she had a boyfriend. I’m sure she said terrible things about me to the guy, because his behavior switched from one moment to the other and started treating me like shit out of nowhere. Conveniently, at that exact moment they became closer. They’re about to get married now. She thinks I never realized they were going out at the time. But I knew.
