Spouses Are Sharing Strange Things They Learned About Their SO After Getting Married

When you decide to marry someone, you usually get to know them pretty well before you say "I do." Most people feel as though when they do et married, they know pretty much everything about their spouse.

But, it turns out, there are many couples who are still discovering things about their significant others after marriage, and after they've read their vows in front of friends and family.

"I learned that my husband holds his balls when he sleeps — almost all night. If he's sleeping on his stomach or side, he doesn't, but as soon as he lies on his back, he holds on tightly, like they're gonna run away or something. It cracks me up," shared one wife.

She can't keep track of anything.

One husband said that his wife can't keep track of "small items." She always loses her phone, her wallet, her keys, for several days without fail.

And, no matter what happens, she will lose it all. He still finds it funny.

"When we first moved in together, I learned that my husband sits down to pee. I thought it was weird, until he explained that he had four sisters. At least I never have to worry about dribbles or the seat being left up," shared another wife.

Are you afraid of the dark?

"I found out that my wife is afraid of the dark. But not just random, dark, creepy, haunted-looking buildings and such. She's afraid to the point where, if she is alone, she has to sleep with a night-light or, if the hallway is dark, she needs me to walk with her," shared a husband.

"My husband honestly didn’t know the phrase was 'make-believe' instead of 'maple leaf.'

I thought he was f--king with me, nope he for real thought it was maple leaf and when I questioned the logic he said 'I just thought it was an old saying that made no sense,'" another wife said.

He's got a thing for deviled eggs.

One wife said her husband eats deviled eggs with intense, insane, passionate ferocity. So much so, that he has to stop and breathe in between his deviled eggs.

No one believed her until her mother witnessed the "intense encounter" on Christmas. I guess he loves them!

"Occasionally my wife will sit straight up in bed, but she is dead asleep. The first couple times she did it I thought she was going to go to the bathroom or drink some water but she just sat there. I tried talking to her and when she didn’t respond I realized she was asleep. Horrifying," shared another husband.

He likes to pat himself on the ... butt.

Another wife admitted that after marrying her husband, she discovered that every single time he showers when he's finished, he slaps himself on the butt. To a specific and on-beat rhythm. He just does it every single time.

She likes to spoon her Oreos.

"When eating Oreos, she takes a mug filled with milk and places the Oreo in the mug, she then takes a spoon and scoops it out of the milk and eats the Oreo off of the spoon. Why else would God have given us fingers if not for using to dip Oreos I say," said one husband.

Awkward sleepovers, huh?

One husband said that he discovered his wife actually makes "sex noises" while she sleeps. He didn't tell her about it until she went away on a girls trip and someone told her, and she approached her husband about it.

The endless shoe collection.

"Her shoes. Shoes in living room, shoes in the hall, shoes in the bathroom, shoes in the other bathroom, shoes under the kitchen table, shoes under the coffee table, shoes next to the coffee table, shoes in her trunk, shoes in my trunk. Shoes next to the bed, shoes under the bed, shoes on the bed. Shoes," shared another husband.

It's serious business.

Another wife admitted that her husband, no matter what, has to take his shirt off when he poops. Truly, that is some serious commitment. What if he's in a button-down shirt? Does he take the entire shirt off too? Talk about awkward in a public place!

The ear tissues.

"He likes to sleep with pieces of tissue in his ears cause he believes his ears leaks wax. I've never seen them leak. Kinda found it gross at the start of the relationships but 7 years in I just pick up those tissue bits up from our bedroom ground and it's doesn't even bother me," one wife shared.

Is this even possible?

One wife said she's been married for several years and she has not once, in their entire marriage, ever seen her husband blow his nose.

She says that he "sniffles" a lot, but he does not take a tissue or napkin and ever actually blow his nose. Ever.

Everyone has a hobby I guess.

"Not married but live together. My boyfriend is obsessed with pooping. He goes even when he doesn’t have to, just to give it a try. He calls it his hobby, and wants us to shift houses and get a place with a bigger bathroom so he can poop more comfortably," one person said.
