I'm sorry. You were going to ask me to choose, right? Did you want to finish?

How does one join the Illuminati?
Bury $5,000 US in a cigar box in your back yard. Our underground agents will collect it shortly.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
flea, you're sick, not wimpy.
Not that every couple shares everything, but my expectation is that they may. Unless I specifically say "don't tell Partner."
This. And even then, I wouldn't be shocked if they did, unless it was something SERIOUS. On the flip side, my girlfriends tell me things about their partners that I'm sure the partners think are secrets, if not explicitly so.
Go Kathy, go!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh, yeah, and this. It's a weird matrix of confidences.

Flea's answer is pretty much mine on secrets, though when there is drama I think we are probably even more likely to tell each other because we want to be able to discuss the drama with someone who isn't in the middle of it.

Not for nothing, but there's only so much to talk about, and "OMG wait til you hear THIS" is way better than another aggravating day at work or whatever.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Saw this coming
Wow. You must be psychic or something.

Unless you need them to go kill your boss.
Okay, kettlebell!

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
I assume that if I tell one person in a couple something, the other person will be told.
Personally I've taken to announcing the fact that Aimee will be told unless a) the confider specifically asks me not to (never happens) or 2) It's a surprise for Aimee.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I'm with Flea. If I am asked not to tell my partner, I won't, but a fact told to me is usually a fact told to us. J is much more private--not only would he not tell me secrets entrusted by others, he won't tell me fairly ordinary things without express permission to share. "How was lunch with John? How did that job interview he told us about go?" "He mentioned it to me, but I don't know if I can tell you."
