Ahead of tying the knot with someone, most people want to try before they buy (if you get what I'm saying), but one bride didn't get physical with her partner until their honeymoon.
As of 2014, only 13 percent of the UK population thought it was 'unacceptable' to have sex before marriage, while a 2002 US study found that by the age of 44, 95 percent of respondents had had sex before marriage.

This Redditor was in the minority of those who abstained from intercourse with her partner, and it seemed as if it was a decision she came to regret.
She shared her experience on the 'Am I The A**hole' forum, writing: "Newlywed husband (32M) wanted to wait til marriage for sex and just surprised me (27F) with micropenis on the honeymoon."
Not exactly the surprise you'd hope for from your groom on your honeymoon...

The anonymous user explained that her now-husband had previously said he was 'old fashioned', which is why he didn't want to do the deed before their big day.
But, the size of his manhood has made her think otherwise and that he was just hiding it from her all along.
"So, we only dated for six months. We've been engaged for another six and just got married on Saturday. I literally just got back from my honeymoon a couple hours ago," the new bride said.

"My husband isn't a religious guy, he just says he is 'old-fashioned like that'. We got close to fooling around a couple times but it never went far. I tried, but he always stopped after it went 'too far'.
"Anyway, fast forward to now...
"Am I the a**hole for reading into this and being upset that I waited until my wedding night to find out that he probably isn't as 'old-fashioned' as he says he is?"
The woman continued: "I'm not going to shame him and honestly I don't even know how I'll broach the topic (and I'm not seeking advice). I honestly just acted like nothing was out of the ordinary and went to town with him, but... I dunno. I kind of feel lied to.

"Like a half-truth... or something was intentionally withheld from me. This was unexpected, to say the least. And if you read this far, thanks for your time."
Some people took to the comments section to say that the size of his penis isn't the issue, but the trust between them was.
"This is a serious trust issue," one person wrote.

"It's not the size that's at issue here, it's the fact that #1, he didn't trust her enough to tell her, and #2, now she cannot trust him not to be dishonest."
Echoing similar sentiments, someone else said: "He did deceive her, though. She was more than willing to test drive, yet he denied her the possibility because he knew she'd discover his little secret."
Honesty is the best policy, folks.
