The hidden truth

   Whether it is a secret fantasy, personal need and desire or even something you've done and have never shared- what's the one secret that you've kept hidden all this time.
   
   Mine, I wish my husband was better at foreplay.  It's not the best I've had.

         No, it's my secret.  Something is better than nothing.

            You should tell him. Something better is much  better than just something

               I agree. You don't need to be blunt, but bring it up.
               Make it into something fun.
               
               My hidden truth? I say that I'm not happy and that I want more, but secretly I'm very happy with my non-dating, no pressure, no commitment, have-some-fun-when-you-want-to boyfriend. It's the opposite of what I usually want in a relationship, but... I'm loving it

               I know, but this isn't about whether I should or not.  Realistically, it is perfectly fine.  I have a naughtier nature than he does.  So it is more like a fantasy. 
               
               There, now can we start unloading and sharing? I don't want to make this about me.  I write sex theme articles.  I would never use anything that was said in here, but I'm curious to see what kind of stuff we all like to keep hidden.  Thanks.

                     I tried once with two girls it was not what I expected or as fun as I thought. Won't be doing that again.

                              nobody  has to have a crush, in that kind of relationship

                                 I didn't know the one had a crush, my girlfriend set it up after overhearing me and some friends talking about it this was about 10 years ago I think. we were all really young like 19 or so.

                                       easier said then done, and honestly I'm not really interested anymore. I did ALOT of crazy stuff over the last 10 years now I just want one girl that is mine. We can be wild together, but the chasing and the game just isn't appealing anymore.

                                          girls are trouble one way or the other. Relax and have fun before the next one comes in your life

                                             I know I've beat this dead horse before but right now where I live, there isn't a whole lot of time for fun. Everyday is literally becoming a struggle to find money for food and gas. I literally have not had cash in my wallet in 8 weeks now, or moved my car in a month. Were it not for family I wouldn't be eating literally. My tax return this January will all go into savings for gas to get to and from college until hopefully sometime in the spring a job will open up somewhere within 20 miles.I know what you mean though and i would love nothing more then to just be able to talk to a girl face to face but dating and fun is something I honestly can not afford that's what's so frustrating. i never thought I'd be a situation like this where things were so hard and i was so lonely. But the facts are around here if you don't have any money then you aren't going to be talking to females either.

                                                   You have to have the money to drive to where the females are in order to charm them, or take them out, or pay for online dating sites. In reality it's all about the money, guys know this women here deny it while encouraging it. Funny system we have in the US.

                                                It's not a dead horse you are beating.
                                                
                                                I was going to say something supportive because I understand where you are at.
                                                But when I typed the word "beating" my mind went in a totally different direction.
                                                
                                                Back to supportive: don't worry about no money. My guy raises chickens in a hidden part of his back-yard so he can have eggs. No money to speak of. He rides a motorcycle 12 months a year because gas is too expensive. No cable, no internet... he had it all shut off.
                                                I don't hold it against him, I admire him for how he survives.

                                                   Then your guy is lucky and with a great person. It's not so much that the women around here are so superficial (They are) but the issue is I can't get out to meet any of them. I live 20 miles from town. I know this will change in a month or so when i start classes, but I still can't help whining now, it's been a long and lonely year.

                                                         It's definitely an adjustment. I've lived on my own since High School, and like having my place the way I want it, CLEAN and doing my little routine, now I have a very small space and have to accommodate everyone else's routine, while remembering I am a guest. My father, and step-brother are slobs and very lazy, My step mother does everything for them while working twelve hours a day. I spend most of the day going behind them cleaning, just because I refuse to live in filth.It's an exercise in patience and humility.

General economic information is widely available on the net for each major metro area, however. The chief economist where I work says we're looking at a U-shaped recovery, with jobs being added starting sometime in Q2 of '10. The main think endangering the recovery now is commercial real estate. Many banks have large exposure to this sector, and there's a layer of commercial-mortgage-backed securities that is worrisome. Banks will again tighten lending if they start seeing significantly eroded earnings from their commercial real estate holdings.

                                                            Scott, I don't know many of the details about what has got you to this point in life. I'm not pretending like I have a magic answer for you either. But I can give you the reality:
                                                            
                                                            In these times, the smallest mistake is just amplified like crazy. In times past, the things we have done would maybe have caused trouble for us, but not sunk us like a leaky boat. There is zero margin for error in this economy. Being single just makes it worse.
                                                            
                                                            Those who are going by the book perfectly are getting sunk too. My point is, the mistakes you have made, the mistakes I have made, were not big enough to put us in the spot we're in, if times were normal.
                                                            
                                                            There's more going on that has caused this, so try not to beat yourself up.
                                                            From my shrink's lips to your ears

                                                               Take it from someone who is just fine now, but who lost her job in New York right after 9/11. OF course, as they often make it out for you to believe, you blame yourself.  You have to step back from it for a few years to see what actually was going on.
                                                               
                                                               This affected everything in my life like a domino effect--I lost my relationship, too.  I'm not sorry, however, as if that was all it took, I'm much better off, frankly, without that person...  And now I'm on the other side, for the most part happy, and with a guy I've been with for 5 years, looking back on all of it for what it was.
                                                               
                                                               Your attitude, hard work and holding yourself up decently against all this is what makes you any kind of success.  I wouldn't worry...seems to me you understand all this already.

                        I really enjoy watching real life sexual intercourse between people.  I've always thought I'd be perfect for an orgy.  And yes, my hubby knows this.  I've watched him with one of my friends before, it was crazy exciting for me.  Sexual intercourse is such a wonderful adventure.

            I think if you told him in the right way and took the time to work with him in finding what you like and what feels good you might be surprised. MOST men are pride driven and the ability to completely satisfy their woman or spouse will motivate them to new things.

                  I dated older women for about eight years then turned what I learned loose on younger women. Knowing you satisfy your girlfriend like no man before is the ultimate ego boost, at least for me anyway. I like the way they look at you afterwards wondering how I did that. I hate being single now.

                     This is why I secretly like not-dating the guy I'm with.
                     I'm supposed to want a family, before it really is too late to try again. And in many ways I do.
                     But apart from the subject we're discussing here, I do like being single. I would not imagine this could be true, I was in a panic when I got divorced.
                     But here I am.

            This makes your secret seem like a dirty and direct insult to your relationship and your partner's love for you.
            
            Hmm...I'll think I leave it there.

   I guess that's my hidden truth in that I hate myself for putting my life where it is. Even though you do your best to move on and fix things you still think back to what was and wince.

      oh. I'm not gonna be a cheerleader and say, "but it will be ok!" (head bouncing, waving pom poms)
      
      but I have a hard time thinking that you hate anybody, yourself included. Anger, regret maybe, but not hate.

   You know there are few moments in Hubpages when my faith in humanity is redeemed. On occasion I get to talk to some really great people that I would gladly help out and defend. Looking back over many of my posts this past week though I have noticed a trend towards anger and hostility, and it seems to be getting worse. Writing on hubpages has brought a lot of positive things out of me but taken as a whole this site has become a poison in my life, and alot of that is directly related to the forums. Before I get off of here and take my mandatory two day break from the warzone, I mean forums, I thought I'd express some hidden truths about it.
   
   First I have noticed that people have issues with the truth, not in a religious or scientific way but on a personal level.The people who will berate you for being abusive, judgmental, name calling or hypocritical are the same ones being banned for attacking anyone and everyone that crosses their path. They just do not want to hear the simple fact of the issue; that they are asses and hateful, disgusting people. Similarly its strange to me that to state that which is plainly visible to all behavior wise is considered a personal attack. While telling another they are bound to hell and lost is not?
   
   Second- apparently being on this site longer then a year no matter how abysmal your writing is, gives you license to attack and belittle anyone expressing a different opinion, and at such time you may resort to any manner of curse words, personal attacks, and behavior without fear of reprisals from moderators.
   
   Third- most posters seem actively interested in arguing anything but hesitate to discuss something helpful or practical. Those who do promote tolerance and understanding will be quickly labeled a liberal, Marxist or any number of convenient names, to belittle their much needed message. I guess in America today being kind, helpful, and productive towards making things better just isn't in vogue.
   
   Finally- In the name of good hubbership, all the above are just my opinion and do not represent any particular individuals or generalizations. God forbid we speak the truth about anything on here or even mention God, Darwin, Health care, Afghanistan, or Life, as these topics will instantly ignite a fire storm of stupid. I have appreciated all those who have conversed with me tonight and hope you have a great weekend. Given the review of my last week's posts I have concluded one of three things. 1. I am on the verge of a stress induced psychotic break, which while unfortunate would be infinitely entertaining. 2. I have developed bi-polar disease. or 3. I need to get off this site before I lose my sanity once and for all and my hope for humanity and this nation as a whole. While I have no doubt that some of our senior hubbers would be glad to tell me what to do with my opinions and where to go, in all honesty, I just don't care to listen anymore. This site does little to alleviate any problems, only magnify them. Everyone else, love you, have a good night

   This thread got deep very fast. 
   Scott I feel for you.  I see my sister and brother-in-law go through this everyday.  He has all the education, ambition, and motivation to work and be successful.  There are just no jobs available.  Everyday I hear about how long he spent at the library or at someone's house using the internet looking for jobs.  Its a shitty situation that the country is in, and it doesnt appear to be getting any better.
