What happens if a secret is kept to long?

It depends on how big of a secret it is! In believe only 3 things can happen: 1. The secret will be forgotten, 2. It won't be a big deal later on in life, and 3. That it might ruin something or make something bad happen. Most of the time, when I think of holding secrets, I thing of relationships. This is a common one because of cheaters, and they try to hold cheating as a secret,but when the secret comes out it usually ruins relationships and probably much more.
