I don't keep other people's secrets from DH, and if someone asked me to, I'd refuse. It would just be weird and awkward. (Unless it's something like "Don't tell E, but I'm going to buy him a pony for Christmas. What's his favorite color?")
I kissed him, and I told him that I loved him. And I killed him.

So long as I like somebody, I am the Fort Knox of secrets.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I was going to post a specific example of inter-dyad communication gone wonky, but then I remembered that I'd seen on the guy's myspace that he's a Jossverse fan. Figured I'd better not in case he's lurking. (Are you lurking?)
It's funny, 'cause I don't remember if he was in the fandom when we were friends. Am I responsible for it? I don't recall. Maybe I'm due a toaster and didn't even know it.

I'd honestly rather not know myself than be asked to keep it from DH. Even if it's something I probably wouldn't tell him anyway (like girly medical TMI details about a non-mutual friend), I wouldn't want to be put in a position where I *couldn't*.

I tend to not tell other people's secrets to Paul. Or tell them in general, if I'm made aware that it's an actual secret. Side effect, perhaps, of years under NDA.
Which, when I knew about Certain Friends' Baby News, involved MONTHS of tongue biting, because I really wanted to share it with someone, but it wasn't my news to share.

I usually tell TCG everything, and he usually forgets I told him.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I am a great secret keeper. Because I'm pretty gabby, people think I'm not, but I can keep secrets for years. I knew a friend had AIDS years before any of our mutual friends did and didn't reveal it until he did. In my present job, I know what every employee makes, details about their medical histories and secrets about theirfamily life and would never reveal them--not even to someone who didn't know them.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I usually don't tell Bob other people's secrets. Their relationships with me generally don't implicate him. But I could see how it would in longer-term relationships. And of course, there's tons of confidential stuff I deal with that I don't talk to him about.
