yes i'm guilty. i'm sharing my friend's secrets with my boyfriend. it's because i trust his confidentiality and i want a conversation with him and try to comeup with solutions to problems my friends do have. i'm only asking my boyfriend's opinion coz he's really smart.. i know somehow that im wrong. but i want to share everything with my boyfriend. my friends will surely undersatnd.i will not do anything to harm them anyway.

there are things that should be kept secret and there are things that are don't deserve to be kept secret. there are things that i tell my fiance about my friends like their personality, interest, where did we meet, our memories way back before me and my fiance met. our crazy antics, and a lot more, but when it comes to personal matters it's better if that it's be between me and my friend. i respect the privacy of everyone that i knew and once i said that i promise, i mean it.

I also share my friends secrets with my boyfriend (well when he was my boyfriend I did anyway). I trusted him not to tell anyone and he never did. He used to keep the secrets to himself.

It's good to discuss other's problems and get a second opinion as long as you "really" intent to help your friend with the problem.
Usually people hide their real intention, -they just can't keep their mouth shut and want to tell everyone- under some circumstances you need to respect your friend's choice and keep them for yourself, or else you can seriously hurt your friend, he/she can definitely lose the trust in you.

no i never do that because for me a secret is meant to be a secret and i know how much my friend trust for him to tell me his/her secrets and i will never do anything for to make him/her loose trust on me, if i told anyone my friends secret this will not be a secret anymore. even with my wife i never share my friend secret with her. that is maybe the reason why my friend entrusted their secret to me.

The thing is a lot of people may say its wrong to do because you are telling your best friend you will tell no one, but people need to let things out and therefore they need someone they can discuss the situation with in order to come up with a logical way to help you through things. I know my best friend and me both have told each other the boyfriends tend to know things - unless its something really confidential and then those things will stay just between us and sometimes a few years down the line is comes out with its no big deal and we're both laughing about it.
But the biggest thing is trusting the person you are telling the secret too, because if they tell someone and it spreads, no matter what it is going to come back on you and you don't want to ruin a friendship. So as long as the trust is there, then great - but do heed the advice that some information shouldn't be shared and think about whether or not if you were your friend would you want her to be spreading the information to her boyfriend.

I share all of my secrets with my fiance. I feel that at this point I can tell him anything, and I've always known that he's a trustworthy person. Neither of us is really into gossip, so if I hear something that's important I share it with him because I feel that he should know. Besides, in a relationship it's important to be honest with each other and have good communication, especially since we've been together for a while now.
