7 Things Your Friends Don’t Need To Know About Your Relationship

nosy friendsI'm a firm believer that you should share your life with your friends and that it’s important to be able to vent to them about the things in your everyday life. That being said, there are SOME things you should NOT tell your friends about your relationships. This is my list of the things not to tell your friends about your relationships.

1. FIGHTS

It’s okay to tell your friends about your relationship, it’s even okay to tell them when you get into a fight. But never go into the specifics unless you’re asking for an HONEST opinion. Friends that ask you to tell them if they're being crazy about a fight that they're having but don't actually want to hear your opinion, are awkward people. So lets all keep our domestics to ourselves.

2. SEX

Don’t tell your friends the specifics of your sex life. Don’t tell them about any kinks your partner has because from that point on, your friend will never be able to look them in the eye again.

3. MONEY PROBLEMS

It’s okay to talk to your friends about money problems of your own but it’s not okay to bring your significant other’s finances into that conversation. A lot of people are very sensitive about what they perceive as weakness and that’s never a line you want to cross.

4. CHEATING (IF YOU’RE WORKING IT OUT)

If someone cheats on you and you dump them, feel free to tell all of your friends (and a few strangers) how much of a scumbag they are. But, if you’re working it out, NEVER tell your friends that your significant other has cheated. You may forgive them because you love them but your friends love you, and they won’t.

5. PROBLEMS IN THE BEDROOM

Once again, once you talk about this with your friends, they will never look at your partner the same way again. Your friends don’t need to know if you need to talk your significant other in for little blue pills. That’s something you should keep between you and your partner.

6. YOUR SIGNIFICANT OTHER’S PROBLEMS

Your friends are YOUR friends, and your partners problems really aren’t yours to share. Let your partner talk about their problems with whoever they choose. It’s not fair for your friends to know everything about your significant other’s life.

7. YOU SIGNIFICANT OTHER’S PAST RELATIONSHIPS

Once again, your friends are YOUR friends. They don’t need to know that four years ago the person you're with had his heart-broken by an even woman named Tina. If that’s something they want to share with your friends, let them. But that isn’t exactly your place.

I know that we all want to believe that we live in a world like Sex and The City where we can all sit down with our girlfriends and discuss everything about everything in our lives. But, the truth is martinis and cosmos and endless conversations might be great on TV, but in real life they can get a little awkward when you see your Carrie’s Big on the street.
