Others' secrets and spouse

What is your secrecy policy with your spouse about other people’s secrets?

Say a friend/family member shares something sensitive with you (EDIT)AND does not explicitly ask you to keep it to yourself. Now, it is sensitive and if you weren’t married, you wouldn’t tell it to ANYONE. But now that you are, do you gravitate towards telling your spouse? Or do you share with him/her *except if *specifically told not to?

Say it IS something juicy - as in, would make an interesting sharing of ideas with your spouse. What do you do?

Re: Others' secrets and spouse

i will avoid telling it to my spouse.

girls are very likely to tell it to the world

Re: Others' secrets and spouse

well i think most people know that if you are tellin someone their significant other will know and thats kinda understandable. Then again if someone tells me specifically not to tell something to my SO for valid reason then it'll stay that way or if its something embarassing for the other party and my SO doesn't really need to know about it then yeah.

Re: Others’ secrets and spouse

Nobody ever tells me any secrets. I am not so popular. :cryb:

Re: Others' secrets and spouse

i usually tell him most things unless there is a specific reason that i shouldn't and most of the time he doesn't really care whether or not i tell him as long as it doesn't directly impact our relationship

Re: Others' secrets and spouse

As long as they say specificially dont tell anyone, I wont.....\

Re: Others' secrets and spouse

If its a secret they want me to keep, it will stay that way.

Re: Others’ secrets and spouse

Indeed secrets are secrets… Spouse or Sponsor nobody is gonna know if its a secret. :snooty:

Re: Others' secrets and spouse

What if they don't SAY it but you know it is a sensitive issue? How do you use your judgment?

Re: Others' secrets and spouse

i dont think u need to tell your SO , other peoples secrets, esp when they trust u. Keeping secrets about yourself is different.

I think it goes for all relationships in life, just because u have found a closer relationship than the person who has told you stuff, does not mean you start to disregard their feelings just for this new relationship and start telling them everything without the person involved knowing. .

Re: Others' secrets and spouse

Well I would shutup about it....why does my husband need to know that his wife's friend whom he's never even met has this and that trouble going on?

Re: Others' secrets and spouse

If I've given the person my word specifically that I will not let anyone know, then NO ONE will know.

Re: Others' secrets and spouse

Withhold the information too.
