Husband reveals the true meaning of love by keeping his wife’s biggest secret
Read Time:1 Minute, 29 Second
The problem with telling white lies is that they have a habit of creeping up on you.
This is exactly what happened to a Tumblr user who admits to telling a seemingly insignificant lie for years.
The user in question, known as rue-by-another-name on Tumblr, has been lying that she has a peanut allergy to avoid being questioned about her dislike of peanut butter.
For years I have lived this lie, telling everyone I am allergic to peanuts because I hate the smell of peanut butter. Whenever I used to tell people I don’t like it they’d get all defensive like ‘peanut butter is amazing how can you not like it?!’
This would be simple, but she also confesses to adoring peanut M&Ms.
I can only eat peanut M&Ms when I’m at home in secret. The only person who knows my lie is my husband!
The issue came to a head at a work celebration. Although she desperately wanted to snack from the giant bowl of peanut M&Ms, she had to refrain in order to maintain her story.
Thankfully, her husband-turned-accomplice was on hand to save the day.
When we got home my husband tipped his jacket over and emptied his pockets and at least thirty or so M&Ms fell out. He whispered: ‘I was sneakily accumulating them all night for you because I could see the pain in your eyes.’
She concluded:
If that isn’t love I don’t know what is.
But the story quickly took a downward turn, with Tumblr users criticising her for inventing an allergy, noting that this makes life difficult for genuine sufferers.
After receiving hundreds of messages, Rue issued an apology.
