However, we all have secrets—good or bad—that we simply keep to ourselves and carry with us to the grave. Of course, until one’s spouse unintentionally finds out.

And things were unraveled in a Reddit thread where a user urged other Redditors to reveal the most shocking items they discovered among their spouse’s belongings.

1. “When my husband passed away, I found a garage door opener in his car. We don’t use one and neither did he at work. I have no idea what garage it opens.”

2. “A notebook full of beautiful sketches of trees, rivers, landscapes, animals, and people. He didn’t tell me he was an artist, so I was a bit shocked to find out that he was so talented.”

4. “An excel spreadsheet of all previous sexual partners with stats/scores for each based on different criteria (he is a D&D nerd and it almost read like a character sheet). I had a top score, but it is still disturbing…”

5. “My wife has a used heroin needle. She says that it’s the needle her mother overdosed with. I noticed it about 20 years ago when I was sorting through shit. I found a random needle with no cap and kind of freaked out. It now has its own sealed case, so it can’t stab anyone.”

6. “A short note I had written to her on our 3rd date. Apparently, I was waiting in her car for her to come out of work, so I wrote a short note about how much fun I was having dating her and how gorgeous she always looks. It was late in the evening, so I stuck it in her sunglasses case for her to find at a later time that week. Okay, this was like 15 years ago. Damn, I was romantic.”
