You should not assume information that is being shared will not be shared unless you explicitly what to do or not do.
There people who I trust who I know don’t share things but there are times I will tell my own damn mama OK don’t say anything to anyone.
that wasn’t your husband being an over sharer.
You don’t have to micromanage everything your husband says but if things are important for you to keep private then you must explicitly tell him those things.
And your long ass responses, you sound like you have high anxiety.


To summarize: Its fine for DH to tell his mom, forget he's told his mom when we're talking about NOT telling our kids, NOT think about the possibility of his mom telling our kids. Its also fine for MIL to ask me about my mom's cancer in front of our young kids creating a really tough and unnecessary situation for me.

You are using this situation to take your mind off the cancer. Stop focusing on this and help your mom. None of this obsessing is helping anything.


This. You are worried about your mother and cannot protect her from cancer. So you protect her against DH and his mother.
