If you are told a secret, do you share with your spouse or significant other?

It depends on what the secret is, and how specific the person who told me was about the secret. I don't hold many secrets from my husband, but if it's someone else's secret, then it's up to them how secret they need it to be. Most of my friends expect when they tell me things that he will hear it unless they specify otherwise. If they specify that I can't tell anyone, then so be it. If it's a situation where I need advice on what to do about what someone has told me, then I'd more likely turn to my long-distance friends who don't know the people involved. Then it's not really breaking confidence because I don't say WHO the situation is about, and it's not something they are going to guess by thinking about all my friends they know, like my husband would.

In all honesty, it depends on what it is. If it is something that is meaningless or harmles, I will share it. I don't like to keep things from my boyfriend. Of course, it is also important to note that I am rarely ever told secrets.

When I am told secrets I usually say to the person that I don't keep secrets from my husband but it would never go any further , but if its a " womans thing " I keep it to myself , xx

When somebody tells me something in confidence, I do not break that trust and tell anyone, even my partner. If you tell your partner it's still breaking the promise, and by repeating it you are starting gossip, even if it doesn't go any further. When a friend tells you something, they are telling you so that they can get YOUR input, not your partners. And they would probably never tell you anything in confidence if they knew that you had broken your promise. Just my opinion...

Yes I tell my husband secrets that are told to me. I can tell him and know it won't go any further. Like yours if there is a way to help someone he helps me and or sometimes someone tells me secrets and it is a heavy load to carry and he is there for me.

Since I don't have a boy/girlfriend I'll substitute my three best friends for that lol. It depends, if I HAVE to talk I'll tell them, there's little I don't tell them. But otherwise I'll keep it to myself. The secrets aren't mine after all, they're someone else's..so I'll keep to myself unless I can't surpress the urge to talk to my friends -- like if I'mtroubled not "Omg..*whisper, whisper, gossip, gossip*"

There are times, but if my friend who has told me the secret does not know or trust my partner the way I do, then I would not tell him the secret. What's meant only for me is only for me.

I do tell my husband a lot of things that are told to me. I think most people would realize that I would tell my husband. If someone asks me not to tell him then I wouldn't though.

That all depends on the secret. If it is something that they know nothing about, like buying a present for someone then I don't bother but if it is something that troubles me like someone being depressed or having bad thoughts, I might ask them something vaguely. It is nice that your husband keeps tight lipped about things, it is nice when you can share every aspect of your life with someone and know that they aren't going to spill the beans intentionally or accidentally.

If i had a significant other that i knew well enough that i knew that i could trust then yes i definately would!! It is nice to get it out to someone that you know won't let it out else where!

i don't share my friends secrets with ma partner but that is because i feel it has nothing to do with ma partner at the end of the day they told me not him and that is how it will stay as i do not break peoples trust... what if they dont want ya partner to know and you tell them? then you feel bad cuz you broke their trust therefore i feel there are cases where you can keep secrets because they are not yours to tell...

It would really depend upon the secret. I would tell my husband most things in confidence, but there are a few items that I keep to myself because I know he either wouldn't understand, wouldn't care, or it would upset him unnecessarily. He's a pretty exciteable person, so I try to filter what goes through to him when I can.

Yes I would share it with my boyfriend. He's not much to gossip.. and I think that's a good reason to love him! Lol. I don't like drama. I also tend to discuss things with him.. cause sometimes it brings up feelings that I have about a certain subject. I have a best friend that is the same way... tells her hubby everything. So she knows if she tells me something.. I'm going straight to my boyfriend. Not everything.. just the major things.

The first thing I would ask the person who shared the secret with me is mentioning to them that I do share with my husband and if she is not comfortable with that then I don't. That is out of respect for the person. If they told me a secret that means that they are trusting me not to tell anyone. Not anyone but my spouse is not what they say. So I always verify if they mind.

It depends on the secret. If it doesn't need to be repeated, then no.

It all depends on the secret itself. If its just something harmless I wont mind telling my hubby as generally we don't keep any secrests from eavch other and he will also do the same but If the person has specifically asked me to keep something from even him then I may not tell him. I will jsut tell him if enquired that the person has told me not to share so he will have to wait.

yes i do coz i feeel its better sharing the load on my shoulders....n mainly it helps in gettin a better advise

When I am told a secret by a friend, I do share it with my partner. Because I know he will not tell anyone else. He is not like that. It is nice to be able to discuss it with someone else and get his opinion about it. Also, he can look at the situation more objectively than I can.

I also tell my husband everything. I never have to worry about him saying anything because he never would. He is great like that. There is nothing I can't tell him.

certainly,i think ive been told a secret i wud share it with my beloved because she/he trusts in u the most that u wont have any secrets between.And probably she/he can suggest u if some theres a problem u r dealing with that secret. i think its quite essential to share a secret to ur spouse or anyone u feel is the most important to u in ur life and whom u can rely on the most on this earth.
