What do you do when you find out that they told several people? Do you call them out for it or just never tell them secrets again?

I'm pretty non-confrontational so I would never call someone out on something like that. I would never confide in them again though.

I would definitely not tell them secrets anymore. Depending on the person and circumstance, I might or might now call them out on it...either way, they're not very trustworthy and that changes some things.

Depends on the friend and on the secret, but generally I wouldn't call someone out on it. I would just make sure to not tell them secrets ever again. I have one friend who I've never found out that she told me secrets, but she has told me so many other people's that I would never tell her something I didn't want the world to know.

I just wouldn't tell them secrets anymore. I don't usually call people out.

I would probably call them out. Not in an aggressive way, but I would let them know that it was hurtful to me that I shared something with them in confidence and they broke my trust.

I just become a lot more selective with what I share with them in the future.

I would definitely confront them, and never tell them secrets again.

depends on what the secret was. If it was a really big deal I would have it out with them. If it wasn't too big a deal, I would be upset, probably not talk to them for awhile and then not share things with them.

I'm dealing with this right now. Actually with about 3 people. Next time I have news I don't want public yet, they won't know until I am ready for everyone to know.
Poor DH has been hearing me bitch about this all week.

I would confront them in a casual way just to see if they fess up and never tell another secret again

I would confront the friend and let them know how it made me feel. I wouldn't go off on them or anything, but I think it's important to be honest with friends in letting them know your boundries.
I would also take serious precaution before ever sharing another secret!

It depends. One of my girlfriends, whom i swore to secrecy about my pregnancy, promptly told her mom. Then of course when I saw them all at a party, her mom congratulated me and i was like....wtf? Tell nobody means tell nobody. But she tells her mom everything, so i should've known.
I guess it depends what the secret is and how much she gossiped and how big of a deal it was. It would irritate me.

I am chicken about calling out people. I definitely wouldn't tell them anything else.

Your experience probably won't be anything like this, but this happened to me and I definitely called them out on it. And it was a huge disaster. Granted, it was my mom. And she accused me of trying to rob her of the "joy of becoming a grandmother" because I didn't want her sharing details about my pregnancy to a bunch of strangers. Now she is mostly in the dark about the details. It is a shame b/c I would have liked to share more of this experience with her, but I had to seek out other support people for that.

Thanks ladies. Not sure if I will say anything but I definitely won't be so quick to confide in her next time!

I'd totally say something and definitely keep it in mind for anything that came up in the future. Boo.

I would probably confront if it was a big deal. If it was something small, I would probably just let it go. I would be very wary about telling secrets again, though!!
