[QUOTE="Big Babooba, post: 511988, member: 5402"] [COLOR=Black]Scenario 1[/COLOR] Your friend (very close to both you and your spouse) comes to you and tells you something personal and important going on in his/her life. Only the friend asks you to not repeat the 'secret' to your spouse. Do you keep your friends confidence or do you trust your spouse and repeat the 'secret'? [COLOR=DarkRed]I have mixed feelings about this. The friend has put the spouse between a rock and a hard place. I would tell my wife unless it was something that would be totally embarrassing to the friend. If the subject was illegal or deceitful, I would tell. There is no doctor-patient confidentiality here, but friends will sometimes tell all[/COLOR] [COLOR=DarkRed]with that expectation. It can a form of therapy for someone. Telling could lose you a friend. Not telling could put you in the dog house or worse. [/COLOR] [COLOR=Black]Scenario 2[/COLOR] The other side of the coin: You find out that your spouse kept the 'secret' from you. How do you react? [COLOR=DarkRed] The secrets my wife kept from me didn't bother me except for the last one she kept from me. That was a hell of a secret and I'm glad she's gone.:happy2: [/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
