[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t keep secrets from my spouse and [b]it would really annoy me if my mom or any family member kept telling me stories and then insisting I not tell my DH.[/b]

If this went on or was a pattern I would just say “you know what, will you please refrain from telling me things that you also want me to keep secret from DH? I don’t like keeping secrets from him and it is exhausting to keep track of what I am not supposed to share with him. Thanks for understanding.”

If they push back I would just say something like “I hate to miss out on hearing your stories etc… but I need to put my marriage first and not having secrets is something I really value.” Or say nothing at all and it’s clear this person doesn’t get it. [/quote]

What about your friends? I have a friend going through an awful divorce and I have shared some of it (with her knowledge) with my husband, but he doesn't need to know it all. I'd rather be a vault for her than have her feel like she can't trust me to keep some things to myself. I think you're being overly dramatic. [/quote]
