"She gets really happy when the cat hides a toy in her bag so I sneak one in for her to find when she’s having a bad day."

Recently, u/imjustagirl740 asked r/AskReddit, "What’s a completely harmless secret that you keep from your partner?" And we thought we'd share some of the best responses.
Paramount Pictures
1. "When I run to the store to grab some groceries, I’ll ask him what he wants. He has this expensive cereal he likes and snack bars. He ask me to pick some up if they’re on sale. Sometimes I’ll buy them at full price because he deserves nice things."
2. "I send the elevator to the lobby right before she gets home from work and she thinks she’s so lucky every time."
3. "She gets really happy when the cat hides a toy in her bag so I sneak one in for her to find when she’s having a bad day."
4. "I pretend I'm asleep when he leaves for work. He always gives me a gentle kiss on the forehead before he leaves when he thinks I'm sleeping still."
CBS
5. "I always get a hot dog when I go to Costco solo, but when I get home, I pretend I haven’t eaten yet."
6. "My fiancé really likes as she calls it 'trash TV' like the Real Housewives series. So I always make it a point to sit down with her and let her enjoy this hour or two of mindless television."
"Now, while she thinks that me having snacks set up, whiteclaw/wine on standby or Chinese to be delivered is just overly sweet... I really enjoy the show with her. I did eight years as an Army Ranger and was having trouble readjusting post being medically discharged, so watching this show brings me a level of comfort and hilarity at the absurdity of some of the people shown. Now I’m afraid to tell my future wife that I get more joy out of her shows than she does..."
7. "She planted tomato seeds in the garden, then went home for a month. I did what I could, but they never grew. So I went to the store and bought some plants and planted them, as if I had taken care of them the entire time."
BBC One
8. "I sometimes watch his Youtube videos (gameplay, guitar covers, and anime music videos) on loop just to boost the views."
9. "About three out of four nights, I get up and go sleep on the guest bed once she's asleep. She thinks it's because of my PTSD, which is partially true... But the truth is; she snores like a yak drowning in yogurt."
10. "I don’t like toast. She loves making me toast in the morning with different spreads. I’ll never her tell her not too."
Channel 4
11. "My husband thinks he surprised me with a big gift. It was delivered when I was home alone in the manufacture’s box so it was obvious what was inside. I asked my neighbour to keep it for a few hours and to 'deliver' it again when he got home. He was so excited when he answered the door, wrapped it up and everything. This was five+ years ago, he still thinks he surprised me!"
12. "I am obsessed with tangfastic Haribos – he is trying to lose weight so I hide them in the pots and pans and eat some when he's at work."
13. "I prefer my French press over his Keurig. But he loves making my coffee in the morning so much that I'm keeping my mouth shut."
14. "My husband travels for work a lot and we have a baby, so many of his firsts are conveniently when dad's home to see."
NBC
15. "I can’t stand the godawful music he plays to get ready for work. Metal covers of good songs are not good. I don’t like them. And the older I get, the less I like metal in the first place. I won’t tell him, because he feels like he’s young again, and gets some of his Billy Badass back."
16. "I think his dad is objectively attractive for his age. And while that doesn’t make me interested in, or attracted to his dad, it does make me look forward to the future, since my husband takes after his dad."
H/T to u/imjustagirl740 and r/AskReddit for having the discussion!
