Have You Ever Kept a Secret From Your Wi...

The New York Times
About this episode

Khalid Abdulqaadir’s life was full of secrets. He started keeping them when he was a teenager, after his father was accused of an unimaginable crime. He didn’t want to explain his family history every time he started a new relationship. So his secrets followed him, even as he got married.

Many years later, Khalid was interviewing for a job in the U.S. government, and he was required to take a polygraph test. The examiner asked him a question he could not avoid: “Have you ever kept a secret from your wife?”

Khalid knew that it was time to tell his wife everything.

This is the first episode of our new season! We’ll be back every Wednesday with a new story.
