I am in the doghouse with B...

Remember when I posted about the drama with my grandpa getting remarried and that he was going to move into my uncles house?? Well my mom swore me to secretcy b/c no one was supposed to know. She specifically told me not to tell B b/c he would blab his mouth that the yacht club. Soooo last night B comes home from the yacht club and ask me "Did you know your grandpa is moving into your uncle's house?". Not thinking anything of it I said "Yeah but its supposed to be a huge secret so I couldnt tell anyone". B went off!!! He was/is soooooooooo mad at me. I dont get it. Its not that big of a deal. No one else in my family knows yet. I had a feeling everyone was going to find out on Saturday. B wouldnt talk to me at all last night. I mean I know you should have secerets from your spouse but it wasn't like I didnt tell him his parents were getting divorced. In my eyes its just not a big deal. What do you think?? Is he over reacting or am I really in the wrong here.

Re: I am in the doghouse with B...

  • i think he's overreacting...like you said, the news didnt directly affect either of you, so there was no reason he needed to know. plus, your mother told you in confidence. you don't have an obligation to tell him EVERYTHING you know (that doesn't affect him). at least that is how things work with us. if H's mom told him something and was sworn to secrecy, then i wouldn't mind. same goes with my family. BUT, i do have to say, i can tell my H anything and trust that he will keep the secret. so, i normally do tell bc i suck with secrets :)

    For the record I would not have changed what I did here... other then lie to him and tell him I didnt know LOL. I have no doubt had he knew when the person at the yacht club told him he would have said "Yeah I know D told me"LOL

  • I don't think H would care at all if I kept a secret like that about my grandparents. I can't be sure (since all of my grandparents are deceased), but I can't see him getting pissed at all.

    This pretty much word for word. Plus it's your family drama, not his technically. I could see him getting that mad if they were moving in with YOU and you didn't tell him!

  • secrets you don't keep from your spouse - i spent a ton of money, i went out to lunch with my ex.

    secrets you can keep - ones that aren't yours in the first place. just because you're married people should be able to have you as a confidante.

    i think your h overreacted. he's punishing you for no reason.

    Me:39 Dx LPD, Fibroid, AMA and all that goes with that. H:37 Dx low motility and low morphology. TTC since 3/12. Clomid 8/12 and 9/12: BFN. 11/12 on a break for Myomectomy sched. 11/26. Resume TTC early 2013.
  • I agree with Maryland there are some secrets that are not okay to keep from your spouse but anything that doesn't deal with you as a family I don't think is a big deal.

    I would maybe jokingly give H a hard time like "come on you don't trust me enough to not say anything" and he'd then say "no because you blad a lot" haha and I would laugh.

    This is what I have learned in the past few months with folks drama and I hate keeping secrets but have learned to withhold....it wasn't your business or story to tell.

    Your mom probably shouldn't have told you but I get it she needed to tell someone.  But again not your story to tell.  I would assume that your grandpa doesn't care and was telling folks but yah I don't see the big deal especially not big enough to not talk to you the rest of the night

    I would have said the same thing.

    Ok I feel better that you are all on my side. I hope he is over this by the time I get off of work tonight.
