I have a wee bit of a conundrum�.

[haysi06]

Could you honestly say that if you were told something about someone in confidence (at the time) but recent events and the situation have changed and you are longer in that persons confidence that you could keep schtum on what you know when you are absolutely dying to tell someone? Hypothetically of course; )

[daniela31]

Keep it to yourself and don't tell anyone.

[redcrx]

depends whether telling someone was necessary or whether it was just going to be idle gossip.

[lumination]

yeh keep it to yourself. i tell me friends everything and if something did happen, i would hate it if they told someone all my secrets.

[haysi06]

Hi daniela31

Is that what you would do?

[Bbbananas]

yeah - keep quiet.

[daniela31]

I thought you was asking advice for yourself, sorry, I must have mis-read the question.
Yes, that is what I would do, keep it to myself.
If it hurts people in the process, then why do it?

:-)

[MiniN]

tell us because we don't count

[haysi06]

MiniN, what would you do? LOL

[haysi06]

Hi redcrx, never saw you there. Just say that that it was not idle gossip but true and you were desperate to tell someone - would you or could you continue to keep it to yourself even though you wanted to share?

[wiffey]

How about a CLUE?

[Bbbananas]

I would continue to keep it, but be absolutely bursting to spill....

[unrulyjulie]

hi hays, if someone had told me something in total confidence, even if that friendship broke then i wouldn't betray that trust. Unless of course the person in question had betrayed mine in the same manner but even then, id find it difficult.

This sounds rather cryptic though so i guess it could depend on the situation and what and who it involves.

[haysi06]

Ah wiffey....if that is indeed you....you would LOVE to know this LOL

sallabananas (great username btw) that is what I am like...I mean would be like (hypothetically) my @rse would be biting buttons!!

[bigmamma]

Something told to me in confidence is always locked away inside and never passed on haysi :-) xxx

[daniela31]

Are you going to announce this 'great secret' on here....this site?

I still stick to my principles and say....keep it to yourself.
You could lose friends.

[haysi06]

Hi Jules, hope you are well, so I could trust you with my deep and darkest secrets ....if I had any of course ; )

bigmamma, don�t you ever get the urge to share though? Even just to your dog LOL

[redcrx]

idle gossip in my mind can still be true. What Im saying is that unless its life saving info id probably keep to myself.

Mind you, without being in that situation we cant really say can we?

[haysi06]

daniela31, why would I lose friends?

[Bbbananas]

"biting buttons" - I like that!

A bit like "stabbing cloth" !!

[daniela31]

well none of your 'friends' would trust to tell you anything in the future then.

why do you want to 'tell' in the first place?
you are making quite a mystery over this, and most people have said...'don't do it'.
so why are you still wanting to know?
