Does hiding big issues from near ones affect relationship?

My sister shares everything with me. Recently, she is going through a big domestic quarrel or something like that. But she is not ready to tell that to me. I can feel from her voice that she is not okay.
I have asked her many times to share even this problem with me. I am worried about her as she has no one to share except me. I respect her privacy but how can I tolerate something that is causing problems to my sister?
I am feeling as if she is getting away from me. Have you ever hidden something with your near ones which you should have told?

Itll be hard but you have to be patient and wait for her to tell you. Its up to her to feel if you should know or not.
Im open with all im close to.

@deba12 There are things I've never told my family or my children. My parents went to their graves without knowing many things I did or that happened to me. It may have saved them some grief.

Give her the space she needs and respect her privacy. When she's ready to open up, you will be the first to know.

Maybe she is hiding it from you because she knows what you will advise her. And that advise isn't to her liking.

many things i keep in secrecy. it is my personal thing though and it does not involve any of my family.
