Can you keep a secret?

I think I was pretty good at keeping a secret. People used to confide in me things that are not to be spread and I was doing a good job at it. However, after I met my boyfriend, I have taken to the habit of telling him everything and he does the same too. It so happened that a friend of ours had told me a harmless secret about a childish quirk that he has and asked me not to tell anyone about it. Well that very afternoon,when I was talking to my bf, it slipped off my tongue rather easily. I think my ability to keep a secret is a matter of the past now... Can you keep a secret?

I can alway keep secrets :) I don't understand the point in decieving someone's trust in you by going and telling her/his secrets to others. It doesn't make sense, if you are a good friend of that person and if she/he had enough confidence to trust you with a secret why stab her in the back? It means you're not a true friend... I would never betray someone even if it's a very insignificant secret, still if the person trusted me I won't do something as foolish as talking about it with others. Not even if it's with your boyfriend/girlfriend or any other close friends or family members... It's a pitty I don't have any friends, so I haven't been in that situation so far.

You are right moonlight, its not good to not keep secrets. It just slips out at times when you are discussing about the same topic. I am working on it. And hey I think you have lots of friends here in mylot :)

I honestly think I can, but like you, I find myself telling my husband everything. It's hard to keep something from someone you're with almost 24/7 .. but if someone specifically tells me not to mention anything to him because of privacy, I think I can do it.

That's really good. I almost feel guilty when I don't tell everything to my bf no matter how irrelevant it is! :|
