Marriage, the sacred union of two souls, is a beautiful journey that often begins with a leap of faith. Walking down the aisle, we’re filled with dreams and aspirations, eagerly looking forward to a lifetime of love, companionship, and shared experiences. However, it is during this transformative journey that we often stumble upon unexpected discoveries about our partners that were concealed behind the veil of courtship. “What did you find out about your wife/husband only after you got married?”
Hidden Talents
One surprised Redditor commented, “My wife can make balloon animals, and I never knew it. One day we’re sitting at home with the kids, and after I brought home the wrong type of balloons out of nowhere, she twists up a dog, then a monkey.”
Another Redditor replied, “She was/is a first-chair violinist.”
Dating Secret
A shocking comment said, “He had me fired from my job on my day off. And it was my birthday. I called him crying, and he consoled me that night. We started dating soon after. 2 years after we got married. I overheard him talking to a group about how he got me fired from work so he could date me.”
Unexpected Hatreds
A user replied, “He hates grocery shopping, like would rather clean the toilet than pick up more than 2 things at the grocery store. It kind of works, though, because I hate cleaning the bathroom.”
Childhood Experiences
One Redditor replied, “How much that childhood abuse REALLY affected her.”
A second Redditor added, “Her mom killed a guy via stabbing when she was 12 years old because the guy was breaking into their apartment in the middle of the night. It turned out the guy wasn’t just some thief. He had been videotaping my wife from his apartment across the street, and they presume was going to kidnap my wife that night.”
Surprising Food Preferences
One funny comment said, “He’s very much like a llama. Upset him at just the right time, and he’ll completely lose his appetite and refuse to eat for a while.”
A second comment was, “That rice crispy treats are his favorite “baked” good. He had never so much as mentioned them before to me. Two years married and suddenly- this bombshell! Out of the blue!”
Unique Sleeping Habits
One Redditor replied, “After dating for seven years and well-establishing that I like to sleep in when I don’t have plans, we got married. Suddenly, IDK why, apparently “we” had a bedtime AND in the morning, it was suddenly “time for us to get up.”
A second Redditor commented, “My wife is a sleep talker. I’ll go along and speak to her for a while, and she never remembers anything. 2-3 times a week.”
Unforeseen Pet Peeves
One Redditor added, “She leaves one second on the microwave every time because she doesn’t want it to beep.”
Hidden Fears or Phobias
One interesting comment read, “Found out after the marriage she was a genophobe, AKA scared to death of having s*****.”
Hidden Family Secrets
A user wrote, “That twins run in her family, both sides. Found out during an ultrasound when they said there are 2 babies in there.”
Unexpected Beliefs or Philosophies
One Redditor replied, “That she consulted tarot cards for relationship advice. I was naive enough to think that “non-believer” meant all supernatural b******.”
A second Redditor added, “My friend married a gal who later admitted to being an evangelical Christian. The entire time they dated and were engaged, she never mentioned it. Suddenly, a week after their marriage and she tells him that she’s evangelical, that they now go to Church, and he’s introduced to an entire congregation who know him and congratulate him on conversion.”
Hidden Artistic Skills
A surprised user added, “That he’s really good at drawing. I actually only found out five years in.”
Another user replied, “After being married for almost 4 years, I learned my wife could play guitar, like incredibly well. She saw an acoustic at the flea market 2 weeks ago, and she just picked it up and started playing. My jaw f***** dropped. I bought it for her, and now she is teaching me how to play. :)”
Unexpected Financial Habits
One Redditor replied, “That he supported his buddy’s family financially while his buddy spent a year in federal prison, not “England” as everyone else was told. My husband kept his buddy’s employment open by doing his buddy’s job and his own during that year.”
Another Redditor added, “We were married about three years before I found out he had once given his cousin a stack of signed, blank checks because she was a single mom struggling to pay her bills.”
Surprising Fitness or Health Regimens
One comment was, “My wife has very strong opinions on natural foods, added sugars, preservatives, and organic growing methods. After we got married, I noticed that several staples of my diet were slowly being phased out. The other shoe didn’t fully drop until we had kids, at which point everything was evaluated for content before purchase, and many things were just barred from being brought into the house.”
Hidden Language Proficiency
A surprised Redditor replied, “My wife can speak French. We are on vacation last February in Papeete, Tahiti, French Polynesia. My wife starts talking French to everyone talking french. WE’VE BEEN MARRIED 25 YEARS!”
Unexpected Professions
A user commented, “My sister found out 3 yrs into her relationship that her husband used to be an NFL wide receiver for the Green Bay Packers. She thought he just played beer league football casually with his friends.”
Secret S****
One popular comment was “That he had been a virgin when we met. Seriously, I couldn’t even tell. Dude has some serious skill.”
Unforeseen Personality Traits
Finally, a Redditor wrote, “Before we got married, I loved how sarcastic she was. After we got married, I realized she wasn’t sarcastic at all, just mean. We’re still happily married, though.”
Redditors have taught us that marriage is like opening a surprise package daily. Just when you think you know everything about your spouse, they unleash a hidden talent, a secret hobby, or a bizarre food preference that leaves you scratching your head in disbelief. It’s like playing a never-ending game of “Guess Who?” where the answers keep changing. But instead of getting frustrated, let’s embrace the unpredictable nature of marriage and enjoy the rollercoaster ride of discovering new quirks about our partners.
