I totally understand about feeling complicit without having done anything. <br /><br />Lol about your dh having other great qualities, despite not being able to keep a secret. If you ever need someone to share something with in total confidentiality, just check the comments above to see who can be trusted! :)Rachel Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08200504088343160284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-29711189516966817712014-08-19T22:06:31.533+10:002014-08-19T22:06:31.533+10:00Cindy, another good secret-keeper!

Or, maybe you were good at it before and that's one of the reasons you were able to last that long? Kind of a chicken and the egg scenario, isn't it?

That image totally speaks to the heart, doesn't it? And I equally love this scene. Want to keep on reading!!!<br /><br />As for secrets… If I'm entrusted with a secret then I totally keep it. Not doing so abuses that trust and probably hurts others as well. My mum is always telling me things she's heard "in confidence" (small town, much gossip) because she knows I won't repeat it. I hate when she does this; it makes me feel complicit even though I don't repeat it. My dh is totally HOPELESS at keeping secrets and this makes it difficult when I want to share something but know he can't be trusted. Luckily he has many other great qualities.
