Well, I would say don't tell.  It would only ease your guilty conscience and would really hurt her.  If she gets suspicious though, don't lie.  (And don't do it again!)

Yes.  It is best to admit to it or you will regret it even more later, especially if someone gets hurt and finds out it was you.  Be honest

Make sure you don't allow them to know much about you until your sure they are telling the truth...Good Luck..K

Unfortunately...yes.  Somethings are better left undisturbed and kept private.  Granted doing so might tear things a part but in situations like unto that letting out the secret would probably have done the same anyway.  In reality everyone has secrets.  You can only hope that you can develop a deep enough relationship with your spouse to where the content of them matters less then the keeping and thereby renders secrets moot.

not necessarily, but I would not tell any of my secrets to anyone who I do not know really well. You need to trust him first, know him and feel comfortable to talk about it....

I would tell it all. I don't have anything to hide. That doesn't mean I haven't done some things that others might not agree with. I just don't let anyone else intimidate me into pretending to be perfect. \nLove & Light\nSharon

If you don't want to tell them then show it to them. Do things that you wouldn't normally do for another person. Be nice to them and show them that you care.

Nothing wrong in keeping it to yourself for a while. Tell them when you are ready.

Something sad happened in your past. And i am sure you got all  the pity you could take from close and not so close people. But life goes on. You have new sorrows and new happy moments. So there is really nothing weird in telling people about it. I am sure you appear fine to them, so they have no reason to feel sorry for you.

Honestly, I don't think there's a "right" time to tell everyone.  Some people you may feel comfortable telling much sooner than others.  Some people you may not feel it's a good idea to tell at all.\n\nI would say the point that's the "right" time is one of two times:\n\n1)  When you know that the person you're telling will accept and care for you because of who you are and that means they'll accept you for being gay, too... and you want to be open with them about who you are inside; or\n\n2)  When it hurts you so much to hide yourself that being rejected for who you are is less painful about hiding who you are from people.\n\nThose are generally the times you're going to come out to someone... \n\nIn any case, I hope if you're asking this for personal reasons, it works out and you don't get hurt by anyone for just being the person you are.  =)

My husband does this(the half truths) but I honestly don't believe it's to hide anything.I get the impression he doesn't need complete details to function and can't understand why I do.

Starting a rumor, can hurt someone, \nlistening to it makes no harm, unless you will continue it, and tell it to someone else.

it depends on what it is you think needs to be told, and how good of a friend it is.  Some people don't like sharing all of the secrets, you have to respect that.  don't push too hard to get them to spill the beans because you'll just end up pushing your friend away.  if they want to tell you, they will.

Honestly, you would think that you should tell the person because it is the 'right thing to do' morally.  BUT think about it first  You are going to lose a friend.  You are going to hurt a lot of people and it still wont make it right.  If the person has no idea do not tell them because what you would be doing is another selfish act really.  You are hurting your friend so that you feel better.  So if they don't know just leave their happiness alone.  You already did one bad thing, don't do another to ease your conscience.

Hmmm...doesn't seem a wise thing to bring up during an interview...I don't see how it would affect your getting or not getting the job and might only make the potential employer wonder why you are giving out that personal information (after all, whether you're married with family or single with no family...either situation could change).  I would address my qualifications for the job rather than my marital status.

i don't think so.  i think that while it may seem like a good idea, it would leave nothing to surprise.  i like trusting my instincts when it comes to other people and take it as a learning experience.  i'm sure there are lots of things people are thinking that i don't want to know along with the things i do want to know!!
