My friend has been dating someone for almost 2 years but her BF is keeping it a secret from his family because he thinks they won't approve. She is over the secret aspect...Eeeek.
-
2 years!! oh my..what if they ended up engaged or married? he'd have to tell them at some point, no??
not secret per say, but I "talked to" guys in college that didn't all make it home to meet the parents..that sorta thing.
-
@sorrycharlie: yeah, I think he is just stringing her along...but what do I know! I saw her on Saturday and I heard about it.
-
2 years??? Is he secretly married?
-
I met my husband at work...and he was my boss (it was just a part time job for me--career for him).
A co-worker asked if something was going on and I quit the next day...I'd say we (poorly) kept it a secret for a month or so?
-
Ugh. Yes. It's probably my biggest regret of my entire life. I suppose, that kind of says that if it's a secret, it's not right.
When I was 19 I dated a man 15 years older than me. He was my, at the time, best friends dad..... He ended up being a reeeeally big loser and abusive.
-
I dated a guy at work that we kept secret from most of our coworkers, only a couple people knew. We didn't make it known until a Superbowl party at one of his friends/coworkers house where other people were. Everyone's eyes about fell out of their head when we showed up together but they eventually got over it & said they should have noticed the signs. haha whatever, we would meet for lunch instead of driving together so no one saw us getting into the same vehicle
-
@LuLu Mom: "we would meet for lunch instead of driving together so no one saw us getting into the same vehicle"
haha. we totally did the same thing!
-
@psw27: No, but he is really religious and she isn't so he says his parents won't like her.
-
Yup
and we bumped into a mutual friend at a club that asked for a ride home. We had to make up some lame excuse why we went passed my place & dropped him in the opposite direction & then were going to go back to my place... Other than he was spending the night 
haha. I don't think he bought it! Oh well, he was at our wedding so I'm sure he's forgiven us for lying about what was going on 
-
@autumnlove: If their religious beliefs are that far apart, they probably won't last forever anyway.
-
@Weagle: Yeah, probably not. He breaks up with her but always wants to get back together. I hope she can figure it out soon!
-
Thats crazy!
I had one secret relationship. Neither of us told anyone but looking back I think it was more him not wanting to tell people.
-
not officially, but one guy I "talked" to, we kept it kinda under wraps. He was a freshman and I was a sophomore. Ughhh it makes me feel icky just thinking about it!! In my defense, it was towards the end of the school year, but still!
-
@autumnlove: he's gotta tell his parents he's dating someone they would disapprove of more than her, so then she looks like an "upgrade" and they will approve!!
I've never had any really secret relationships, although DH was only the second man I brought home to my parents for them to meet, so I guess every other relationship was sort of "secret" from them
-
@mrs. wagon: HAHA I don't think one year is bad!!! Haha now if you would have been a senior then maybe I would think icky
-
@Mrs. Taco: Looking back it seems so silly, but oh well! Haha we broke up very amicably (our entire realtionship was so strange) I look back and laugh! Now our kids will be in the same class at the same small town school...I will be seeing a lot of him and his wife for many years to come!
-
@LuLu Mom: hehe... Yeah, the age difference didn't bother me too much, but just the fact that he was a freshman... the few people I told, when I said he was a freshman, I just felt like so icky.
-
@mrs. wagon: LOL! Freshman and sophomore isn't a big difference!
-
only when I was younger and didn't tell my parents about my love life, but I told friends so it wasn't really secret.
That would really weird me out as an adult though!
-
I dated the same guy through most of high school, and after our second break up he wanted to keep us a secret. It reminded me of the song "Saturday Savior" and I told him no.freaking.way.
-
Yeah, kind of. My best guy friend and I were hooking up for over a year. I had feelings for him but he wouldn't commit and we never told anyone about it. It was very isolating and difficult on me
-
One of my best friends had a crush on me, but I was into his roommate. His roommate was a bit of a player, and my friend made me promise early On that I wouldn't do anything with him...that didn't last. We snuck around....and then one night my friend walked in on us kissing. He was pissed. Not a good night. It took him awhile to get over it, too. I felt bad at first but his reactions as waaaay over the top. Drama from my early twenties...
Also, it was totally worth it. I mean, I'm sorry I hurt my friends feelings, but he's fine now (and engaged!), and things with his roommate were....hot. It was a really liberating and empowering "relationship" for me -
My first boyfriend when I was 17 was a secret from my parents because I wasn't allowed to date at the time. I made up all sorts of excuses to get out of the house (library, anyone?) to see him. He ended up being a jerk and loser. I always wonder what happened to him, but he's got a really common name which is impossible to google.
-
DH and I met at work. It was pretty secret for a long time, we kept it professional. We even got married (!) and then had a baby (!!!) and there were still a few people who were clueless until they saw us together with the baby.
haha. I don't think he bought it! Oh well, he was at our wedding so I'm sure he's forgiven us for lying about what was going on
