[quote=Anonymous]I think there’s a difference between intentionally keeping a secret and just not mentioning something that isn’t relevant.

Friends and family will tell me things going on in their lives, and I don’t mention it to H because it’s just not relevant and I don’t need to tell him every little detail of what goes on between my friends and I.

I guess if someone was pregnant and told me, but wanted it a secret because they didn’t want it to get out among our circle of friends just yet, I wouldn’t tell H.

If it’s something like, they’re married to H’s brother but are cheating on him, I’d talk to H to figure out what to do. But I also trust that H isn’t going to freak out and blab to everyone.

If it’s just a random secret with no real purpose (“cousin Larla just got her first period! Don’t tell H!”) I’d probably tell H just to mention how weird it is.

The one exception is with our kids. H has 2 kids and I have 1 kid from previous marriages, and we have a kid together. If a kid confides something and doesn’t want the other parent to know, we keep their secret. [/quote]
