(informal) Facts gradually and reluctantly admitted by one's significant other under questioning, especially about having been unfaithful.

It is common for straying spouses to discharge or unload information after carrying around secrets for months, sometimes years. […] It is uncommon for them to be completely honest upon the first disclosure, for they tend to withhold details and only reveal the absolute minimum to protect themselves. The truth seems to be revealed over time, a phenomenon well-known as the "trickle truth."
