DH is too honest!

Me: Can you keep a secret?

DH: No why?What is it? (with a little kid look on his face)

Me: UM if you can't keep a secret I can't tell you

DH: Oh ok.

DH: Wait what is it?

Me: I can't tell you duh. Are you going to keep it a secret?

DH: No, I mean yea I guess depending on what it is?

Really? lol He cracks me up. I of course ended up telling him, let's just hope it doesnt bite me in the a@@.

With that being said do you tell your DH (or a bff) stuff even though you werent supposed to tell anyone  just so you can tell someone so you dont tell the wrong person? Or are you that good at keeping secrets?

Re: DH is too honest!

  • I tell Gary everything...always have.  Except maybe how much I paid for the new earrings I got last week.....
    My baby girl is a married woman...and now my baby girl HAS a baby girl. Time unfolds in such an amazing way. I've been blessed!
  • I typically tell DH everything.  He's usually very good at keep secrets but sometimes he'll blurt it out in front of people that he definitely shouldn't and then gets mad at me for shooting him 'the look'.

  • It depends on the secret I guess.  If it is something family related (and not embarassing), I tell DH and he's good about keeping his mouth shut.  If it is something personal about a friend, that stays with me.  I might talk about it generic terms if it is something that doesn't sit right with me but for the most part it isn't anything earth shaking!

  • I tell DH everything.  He's what I would describe as the "strong, silent type" so I almost never have to worry about what comes out of his mouth.  I will add "please don't tell X (or anyone)" and I know the secret is double safe.  I trust him absolutely.

    On the other hand, I am the one with the motor mouth who lets anything and everything out.  I find that if I lock my secrets with DH, I'm much less likely to give them away when I shouldn't.

  • I tell my H EVERYTHING.  Things I probably shouldn't, but I don't feel right keeping things from him.  We don't have secrets, never have, and when someone (generally only a member of my family) asks me not to say anything, he still knows.  Its not that I can't keep a secret, I just don't think secrets are a good idea.

    His family is very open and they share things that honestly most of us don't care about, or even want to hear, but on the flip side my family is all about secrets.  It drives H & I insane b/c there have been plenty of times that I haven't been clued in on something that I felt was important enough to share.  Like when my grandma went into the hospital, or my uncle almost died; my mom is always saying "don't talk about this around grandma" or "don't say this to that person" and I hate it.  I don't feel like there should be secrets; especially over the dumbest things.  I'm the opinionated, more outspoken one in my side of the family b/c everyone always tip-toes around about things and its stupid.  Just say what you think and how you feel instead of letting it fester and grow resentment.

    This is what I would say too.  The only exception is that he does some counselling through the church and that stuff generally doesn't leave his office.  The only exception is when it's bothering him and he just needs to get it off his chest -- then he talks to me about it but I'd never talk about that stuff afterward.

  • DH and I tell eachother everything. We are terrible at keeping secrets from eachother anyway, even about dumb things like gifts.

    I think it is kind of expected that people share things with their spouses. I've asked friends before if it is ok if I share something with Juan and they almost always laugh and say "of course, I expected you to."

  • I didn't tell DH that his mom called my cell phone last night and I didn't answer...just let it go to voicemail....she was just thanking me for the mother's day card that DH sent and signed my name to....  So no not everything... Surprise
