These people were in for a shock when they found some things they were not expecting in their spouse's stuff. From sweet and wholesome, to downright creepy, these people from AskReddit sure got some big surprises.
1
A list of reasons why she should leave me and why the guy she was cheating with was better than me.
2
When my husband passed I found a garage door opener in his car. We don’t use one and neither did his work parking. I have no idea what garage it opens.
3
A notebook full of beautiful sketches of trees, rivers, landscapes, animals, and people. He didn't tell me he was an artist, so I was a bit shocked to find out that he was so talented.
4
A collection of rare coins from his grandmother stashed inside a care bear tin.
5
He had a huge bag of women's underwear and shoes, and evidence that he was organizing a hookup with at least one guy. There was also a letter telling him not to worry and that she'd taken care of it and had an abortion.
6
Every single scorecard from the MechWarrior game he plays at DragonCon. There are hundreds of them.
7
My late wife’s wedding ring. A few weeks after her death I realized that our big king sized bed was making me depressed, so I got a queen sized bed and got rid of the king. When I took it apart, I found her engagement / wedding set lodged between the bed leg and the wall.
8
His sword collection. He also has this cool Armenian ceremonial dagger.
9
I found eight boxes of ranch dressing in the closet of her spare room.
10
An excel spreadsheet of all previous sexual partners with stats/scores for each based on different criteria. I had the top score, but still disturbing…
11
He’s hiding the Christmas gifts his parents sent us, even separate ones sent to each of us, and pretending they got us nothing. Not sure what that’s about.
12
I found a small thin rod that was attached to a plastic base when we were moving from our apartment to our house. For all the world it looked like some sort of adult toy. My wife has to take daily HGH injections and it turns out that what I thought was a toy was an agitator that was part of mixing her meds together.
13
A short note I had written her on our 3rd date. This was from 15 years ago.
14
Six credit cards in my name I didn't apply for.
16
A rubber crab. My wife is freaked out by crabs. Apparently her mom has been hiding it in her stuff for years to scare her and has become a game between them of hiding it somewhere the other person will eventually find it. Occasionally I’ll be looking for something and stumble across it in a new place.
17
His fake teeth. Had been together a year and lived together 2 months. He hadn’t told me, and was embarrassed, but it didn’t change the way I felt about him at all.
18
There was an old report that he had written in probably the third or fourth grade which would’ve been the early 90’s. It was about horses, and on the first page it said “wild stallions' natural enemies are wolves and semi trucks.”
19
A credit card I didn't know about. She used it to spend money on other boyfriends.
20
A notebook with a partially finished letter describing in detail how she cheated on me and how she wasn't happy in the relationship.
21
A list of reasons why she should leave me and why the guy she was cheating with was better than me.
