Have you ever had someone tell you something personal that you wish they never told you?

Yepper! Almost every day I'm reminded of it.

Then they tell you not to tell anybody and you have to face people and fake you don't know what is going on. Leesa914 2 months ago .

Yes. It sucks. I was given info that would sink a marraige in 2 minutes.

Someone borrowed a huge sum of money on the sneak with no intention of paying it back, it makes my blood boil.

Yes, that defientely does suck. Mine was someone telling me they are having an affair with a married man! When I see this guy I want to smack him upset his head.

Why do you have to tell me your dirty laundry? Leesa914 2 months ago .

It's such an unfair weight to place on a person. One word from me would get the situation squared away, but a family with kids would fall apart. So now the lender suffers the loss :( .

Yes.... I'm still thinking how to handle it..... a friend's landlord is growing marijuana plants in the middle of his garden with the tomatoes and green peppers and distributing in his neighborhood. My friend cannot report it because they would kick her (and her 3 cats) out of the house. A lot of kids in that area and she asked me if I could tell my friend that is a retired police officer and ask him to to handle it.

Sticky situation. Good luck. :) Leesa914 2 months ago .

You can become torn between your loyalty to keep a secret or your loyalty to tell a dear friend. That is a sticky situation. The severity of the secret may warrant the person to tell what they know and loose the so called friend that told you the secret.

This person may go on to continue doing those things to someone else. Or how many other people have they done this to before telling their secret.

Check this out. This woman had a huge secret and her two buddies knew about it. It depends on what the secret is that it has to be told.

Wow, shocking and sick it is. Its crazy what people will do to get money. Leesa914 2 months ago .

Wow--this question was just shared on Twitter by Askville. (Is it okay if I tell you that?!) .

I don't go on Twitter so I wouldnt know. Leesa914 2 months ago .

I had a best friend and to clear her mind she kept telling me whenever you was unfaithful with her partner. I stopped being friends; I just felt too uncomfortable and didn't agree at all what she was doing. Not being friends seemed to be the only solution since it did not appear she was ever going to stop.No, I did not tell her partner but always wondered if I should have.

It does feel awkward. Leesa914 2 months ago .

When I was in "the corporate world". I once had a VP give me this advise:If ever an employee comes into your office and asks if they can tell you something "in complete confidence", always tell them NO. "They could tell you they just tied up the janitor, took his wallet, and locked him in the closet (or worse).

It's something I've always remembered, and try to follow - even with family.

Yes....but give it to God...don't carry the burden yourself.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
