[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unpopular opinion, and here goes:
I would not keep a secret from my DH because I feel that this betrays the covenant we made when we vowed that two become one. Keeping a secret from him would feel like I’m compromising that vow.

We are clear about this with our children and I don’t think they would ever ask one of us to keep something from the other. But if they asked to tell me something on the condition that I not share it with DH, I would remind my child why I can’t hold to that condition.
I think the only time I would even fathom keeping a secret from my DH is if my child were accusing DH of something horrible and feared retaliation.

Yes, I agree your opinion is unpopular and it should be. I want my kids to come to me or DH with anything, even if it means keeping it secret from the other parent until they’re ready to share. If something is so bad/traumatic/difficult that they don’t want the other parent to know, then you definitely want them coming to at least one of you. [/quote]
