Do you share all your secrets with your significant other? My husband and I pretty much tell each other everything. Except sometimes, due to his job, he has a confidentiality policy which restricts him from telling me about people he deals with. It really BOTHERS me! I am really the nosy type lol and like to know everything going on. I like to solve things and get to the end of the story. But he feels like if he tells me then it's breaking the breach of trust that he has with people. So even though it bothers me, I understand it and have stopped asking. Other than that, we pretty share everything. Except for the secrets that people ask me to keep, because like his job, I feel like I would be breaking the breach of trust I have with people. So does your significant other share their secrets with you, or are they the more guarded type? And do you share your secrets or do you just keep them all inside?

I like to discuss things with my hubby too, and he pretty much tells me everything (at least I hope he does). We don't really hide anything from each other, and I hope it stays that way, because honesty and trust is what makes a relationship work. If you cannot be yourself, with your significant other, and be honest, then really you are starting to lose your identity. So, my hubby is mostly the person I share everything with. Then, of course, my sisters, mother, and very close friends.

Yes, I totally agree with you. I think honesty and trust is what makes a relationship work. And communication. Sharing secrets is a big part of communication.

No I tell my husband everything. I just can't keep anything from him. It would feel to weird not tell him everything. He also tells me everything, that is unless he forgets. He has bad memory sometimes, so he forgets to tell me things. But he eventually remember and then tells me about it.
