Can you be trusted with a secret?

Have you ever betrayed someone by revealing something they told you in confidence to someone else?

Has someone ever betrayed you by divulging something you told them in confidence to other people?

If someone is told something in confidence, would they be justified or excused in telling someone close to them (i.e., their lover/spouse who 'they don't keep secrets from'?)

I had a Top Secret clearance with the National Security Agency - guess so.

No!

Can't recall. I choose whom I divulge stuff to.

IDK, but I know things about a buddy's wife that she would kill both of us if she ever thot we discussed that.

To quote Stuart from MadTV: "*gasp* I LOVE secrets, my family has LOTS of them" LOL

I usually do well to stay tight lipped, and I guess others are likewise about me.

My family goes through a lot of this, everybody CAN keep their mouths shut so yeah the 'don't say I told you this' goes around but never returns to sender.

Yes, no, no, and no.

Yes.
No.
Not that I can think of.
Not just because they "don't keep secrets" from each other. Even if that were true. Which I very much doubt. It depends on the potential for harm to the person the secret is being kept from. LOL, so maybe the answer to #1 is really no.
