I would have to say, as I get older, I have started to say less about my relationship(s). I guess I don't want people to hear me bitch about it all the time, because then they might think I should leave him (if they only hear about the bad stuff). Although, I would DEFINITELY ask a friend for his/her advice if I was having a major relationship issue and needed help. Another thing, my boyfriend is verrry private, and I think he would get embarrassed knowing my friends knew about his drama. Vera, does your hubby ever get mad that you tell your family/friends/etc. about your life? Maybe my boyfriend wouldn't actually care? I am just assuming...I will have to ask him about that!

I will say I would probably be tight lipped. My hubby and I have never had any major marital troubles, but if we ever did I think I would probably tell my sister and that's it. My sister and I are like best friends and are only a year apart in age. Hubby and I only argue 2-3 times a year. The petty stuff like he didn't tell me dinner was good after cooking in the kitchen all day, I would talk about freely. Now I have a good friend that had to have a double mastectomy a few years ago and she was very hurt and upset when she found out her hubby went to strip bar not too long after her surgery. I was there for her, but I would not want to add more stress to her life so I would not confide in her for the heavy stuff. My hubby is very tight lipped. He is not a gossipy kind of person. He doesn't want to hear other people woes either. I did get really po'd at him on our vacation. We stopped at some waterfall to take pictures. My hubby just ran off to start taking pics. So I probably looked like a single woman standing there. Some guy started talking to me which was fine, but then he started following me around. I walked over to my husband but he is so tall it's not like I can just talk in his ear to tell him about this creepy guy. He was not paying attention to what I am trying to tell him anyway. Then my husband takes off again across the street to shoot something else and guess who is right behind me? I was sooooooo mad at my hubby for not realizing I was being stalked. So things like this I will talk about to anyone that will listen. ok vent over!!!!!!!!!!!

I used to be very tight lipped. I have a very private hubby too. But I don't believe in saying anything to anyone until I have said the same to him first. I can't expect him to read my mind, and would feel terrible if he heard me saying something about him that he didn't hear from me first, kwim? Some stuff is too private, and I will give overview, but not blow by blow. But for the most part, we are good. I have THE most laid back hubby in the world, this is my blessing, and my main gripe when I am in a major drive mode, or crisis mode, I expect him to pick up the steam and he just won't. Fortunately, it has been a while since any crisis. But putting the house for sale, keeping it pristine with kids, then a house fire, and trying to general contract it ourselves, urgh, there have been moments when I wanted more intensity and it wasn't there. I have learned to compensate. We lost our roof this summer, and had lots of repairs, I learned not to get so stressed over it. What you like in a partner in relaxed time is what may drive you nuts in crisis time according to my former therapist.

I would have to say like the majority of you I'm tight lipped as well. I will share some things with friends but very broad nothing too specific. I think it was just ingrained in head from my mom that you just don't air your dirty laundry to people and I have to tell you that's something I would definitely advise my daughter to do as well. Ironically I'M the one my friends come to when ever they want to vent or have something to talk about I guess they figure I can keep a secret ;)

I share with my sister and sometimes one of my close friends. It does feel good to get it out. AND I, too, have a few friends that are really tight-lipped about stuff like that and it gives me a complex..like their relationships are perfect when truly they aren't. ;) My husband doesn't tell anyone anything when it comes to disagreements, etc. AnotherDirtyMartini..my mom does the same thing! Drives me insane!! My sister and I will shoot each other looks like "is she KIDDING?". LOL

I'm a talker. But, I've found that the more trouble in my relationships, the less I say ... until it's all over. Then I spill my guts. LOL Love the new hair color, btw; it really brings out your eyes!

im pretty private when it comes to relationship stuff especially with my family, they would be the last people i would go to when we have a problem. Im really much more of a tight lipped person... i dont want others judging me and my boyfriend just because of our problems. i dont know... thats how my mom always raised me. If and when i spill my guts out im very careful who i tell it to.

Can't watch the video with the sound on as I'm in the office so I can't respond to the topic but I wanted to say that THE.HAIR.LOOKS.AWESOME!
