After being in a relationship for a few years, people often think they know their significant other pretty well. However, at times you come across some surprises that shock you and give you the opportunity to get to know your partner better. A similar thing happened to Anna Mellor, a famous TikTok creator, who shared an unusual incident of discovering her husband's romantic secret from years ago. Mellor discovered that her husband had been leaving her secret messages for six years, about which she had no idea. Her video post on TikTok was captioned, "I just found out about a secret my husband has been hiding from me for six years."

Lately I keep hearing these questions: if motherhood is so tough, why does anyone do it? Why don’t we talk about the good bits of parenting? Where are all the happy mums? “As someone who is still on the fence about having children, I feel like I’m overwhelmed by negative stories,” explained Eleanor Halls on Straight Up, the podcast she co-hosts with fellow journalist Kathleen Johnston. “I have got to a place now where I am craving not idealised, glossed-over versions of motherhood and birth, but just nice ones – nice, positive stories that don’t dwell on all the tears and the marriage breakdowns and the regret.” Meanwhile, on a recent episode of Australian podcast Shameless, host Michelle Andrews expressed similar feelings: “I keep being swamped with content that is telling me it will be terrible for my mental health, terrible for my body, terrible for my marriage. And I want a baby, I really do,” she said, “[but] I don’t want to sacrifice my happiness that I have now for a promise of, ‘Well, it’ll be worth it.’ None of you can actually tell me why.”

If we looked 60 years into the past, there are a lot of things that were accepted as “normal” that today most people find abhorrent. For example, people used to smoke cigarettes everywhere. They’d light up in hospitals, schools and even churches.People also used to litter like crazy. It’s socially unacceptable now, but if you lived in the ’70s and finished your meal at McDonald’s, you’d chuck your empty styrofoam container (remember those?) and soda cup right out of the window of your car and onto the street.
