Weirdly Gross Things That Couples Do For Each Other

When people discuss intimacy in a relationship, they’re usually referring to the steamy, sensual stuff. Which is weird, because the truth is, most of the intimacy that comes along with getting close to someone isn’t hot at all. A lot of it is just plain gross.

Because getting close to someone – warts and all – involves stuff like, yanno, warts. And oddly, you begin not to mind. Because that’s love. That’s real love. That’s the kind of intimacy nobody’s searching for, but that they all find eventually.

And then you take to the internet to tell strangers about it anonymously.

Warning: if you’re queasy, some of this is genuinely gag-worthy.

Women Dating Men Open Up About Their Unexpected Affairs with Women

Do you sometimes feel like maybe you’re not living a very adventurous life?

I mean, I’ve done plenty of interesting things in my time and have had the pleasure of creating things and even making money having a lot of fun with my hobbies.

But then I read stories like these, about making new discoveries about your own sexuality in the midst of fiery affairs and I think “Wow, am I boring?”

But also…I don’t want the baggage?

I think I’ll just read some accounts from these anonymous posters.

Stories of Parents Who Are Struggling to Live Apart From Their Kids

For years, I was the only person in my family who’d moved very far away from where we grew up.

It wasn’t always easy, and I know that it probably took a toll on my parents. And that’s with me being a full grown man.

The emotional toll of being apart from your kids as they’re actually growing up? It’s gotta be unbearable. And if these anonymous confessions from real parents are anything to go by, there are no easy answers.

People Discuss How Teaching Abroad Can Be Both Amazing and Terrifying

When I was young and hungry for adventure, I wish I would have taught English abroad.

What an amazing experience it must be!

Getting paid to immerse yourself in a completely different place, life, and culture?

Here is what 12 young people had to say about why they went, and how teaching English can be as life-changing as it is scary.

1. I don’t want to grow up

Like Peter Pan and the Lost Boys. It’s a great way to put off the real world just a little while longer.

Image credit: Whisper

2. Who am I, anyway?

There’s nothing quite like an adventure on your own. It can really show you the truth of who you are.

Image credit: Whisper

But experiencing different cultures is how we learn and grow and become more accepting.

But learning how to deal with annoying people is part of the experience.

Oops. Just roll with is.

Image credit: Whisper

It’s good to show both sides of things I guess.

Image credit: Whisper

11. It might be lonely at times

But the friendships will be so worth it.

Image credit: Whisper

But if you found your calling, there’s no reason not to stay.

All this talk about traveling and new experiences–these certainly gave me the urge to get out there and try something different.

Surprising Stories About Cheating with the Neighbor

Cheating takes a lot of work.

I mean, honestly. There’s all the hiding, the cover-ups, the stories, the staying out of the eye of the ever-present beast that is social media, it’s just a whole thing.

Looking for a way to make it easier? Why not keep things local! Very local. As in, just start hooking up with your next door neighbor. At least you won’t have to go very far to get things going, though if you’re living in attached housing like an apartment you might want to watch how loud you get next to those thin walls.

If it wasn’t clear already, we’re being tongue-in-cheek and not actually advocating for infidelity. But maybe the people who made these posts heard similar pitches, because man did they go for it.

10. “To be with him instead.”

As always, the choice is yours.

9. “My boyfriend of 8 months.”

The Barracuda is a nice little bit of color for the story.

Source: Whisper

8. “Can’t stop thinking…”

So close and yet so far.

Source: Whisper

7. “I still don’t feel guilty.”

Well, that’s rather telling.

Source: Whisper

6. “Losing my virginity.”

That’s quite a step there.

Source: Whisper

5. “He never found out.”

He hasn’t found out yet.*

Source: Whisper

4. “I feel really bad.”

Hey, I would too.

Source: Whisper

3. “I really regret it.”

It’s a familiar tune.

Source: Whisper

2. “It was soo much better.”

That’s not a great sign of things to come.

Source: Whisper

1. “I don’t know how to leave.”

That’s a long time to hold that in.

Source: Whisper

Maybe the convenience doesn’t quite outweigh the rest of it, huh?

The Parts of Pregnancy Nobody Talks About

According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, the quickest gestation period for any mammal goes to the Virginian opossum, who only goes about 12 days before.

The longest period belong to the Indian elephant, who typically clocks in at about 22 months (for those keeping score at home, that’s nearly two years.)

Humans fall right smack dab in the middle of the spectrum with a tidy 9 month pregnancy in most cases. And while that may seem a short sentence compared to the likes of the elephant, it’s full of enough contortions and bodily surprises to make it feel significantly longer.

But don’t take my word for it – I’m just some dude. Check out what these women had to say.

10. “Some days I hate being pregnant.”

If it’s not one thing, it’s another.

Source: Whisper

9. “That moment when…”

Is it time to go to the hospital or just to clear the room?

Source: Whisper

8. “It’s scary to try to push hard.”

I feel like that alone should be on a motivational poster.

Source: Whisper

7. “Never have coffee while pregnant.”

All that AND no coffee? This is the worst.

Source: Whisper

6. “I have a superpower.”

If you count the ability to create a new human being I’d say you’d got two superpowers.

Source: Whisper

5. “I love my baby but…”

What’s going on in there anyway?

Source: Whisper

4. “Pumped full of dough.”

So do mine and I don’t even have an excuse.

Source: Whisper

3. “It scared the baby and makes her jump.”

Imagine what that would feel like from the inside tho.

Source: Whisper

2. “I freaked my husband out.”

Yup, that’s next level pregnancy alright.

Source: Whisper

1. “I swear!”

Subsidize TP.

God bless you, pregnant ladies. I don’t know how you do it.

People Admit Their True Stories of Cheating with the Neighbor

It sounds like something out of an adult film.

The new neighbor stops by to say hello. Oh, I’m sorry, I’m just in a towel, I wasn’t expecting anyone. “No,” she says, twirling her hair in her finger and closing the door behind her. “The towel is just fine. Why don’t you show me around.”

A bass-heavy theme starts playing. You know the rest.

I don’t know if something like that is how any of these real neighbor-cheating scenarios went, but I’d kind of like to think so.

10. “He’s playing two girls.”

Well, you two clearly need to break up immediately.

Source: Whisper

9. “I don’t know what to do.”

That right there is a no win situation.

Source: Whisper

8. “This complicates things.”

It’s all fun and games until…

Source: Whisper

7. “I don’t love my husband anymore.”

That all sounds perfectly horrible, thanks.

Source: Whisper

6. “She has no idea.”

Doesn’t mean she won’t find out eventually.

Source: Whisper

5. “The father of my child.”

Again, you need to get away from each other.

Source: Whisper

4. “I admitted to it.”

You can run from the people but not the problem.

Source: Whisper

3. “My boyfriend is locked up.”

I’m sure he’ll love that bit of news.

Source: Whisper

2. “I refuse to tell my neighbor.”

Well somebody’s gotta know.

Source: Whisper

1. “Just to get back at him.”

Yeah I coulda told you that wasn’t gonna work.

There’s a whole lotta yikes floating around up there.

Confessions from People Who Fell for Their “Work Wives”

It’s hard to go to a job every day with nothing to look forward to.

People are resilient, and they find joy where they can.

Sometimes that joy is in the bond they form with others in the same situation.

Sometimes you spend so much time together you start to bicker like an old marry couple–and you know each other that well too.

It can make work nice, and comfortable. But it can also cause trouble if you’re not careful.

Here are 10 times people fell in love with their “work wife.”

1. Deep breaths. Infatuation fades.

It’s always fun when it’s new and exciting.

Image credit: Whisper

2. Is emotional cheating still cheating?

Maybe. Only you can decide.

Image credit: Whisper

3. Please do everyone a favor and re-evaluate your upcoming nuptials

Secrets fester, but as secrets go…
this one might not be a good one to keep.

Image credit: Whisper

4. Moving on is probably for the best

On the other hand, if you’re both single, now’s your chance.

Image credit: Whisper

5. Those pesky significant others

They’re always getting in the way.

Image credit: Whisper

6. Sometimes it’s good to remember there are different kinds of love

And if that doesn’t help, I recommend cold showers and lots of sick days.

Image credit: Whisper

7. An interesting conundrum

I want to see the ending of this movie…
And I want it to be a grand gesture confessing the secret love.
On both sides.

Image credit: Whisper

8. You know you’ve got it bad when you’re happy it’s Monday

Honestly, figure out a way to lock it down.
Because if she can make Mondays not terrible, you need her in your life forever.

Image credit: Whisper

9. When love IS requited, but it’s still not enough

I’d be tempted to quit my job and never have to see her again.

Image credit: Whisper

And a bonus one for the warriors.

10. Maybe he’s saying the exact same thing about his work wife

Some bonds are powerful like that.

Image credit: Whisper

15 years ago I had a friend with a deep and abiding love for her “work husband”–the first time I ever heard the term.

These confessions really hit all the feels. It can be exquisitely painful to fall for someone you can’t have. I want happy endings for all of them.
