3 things not to tell your friends about your relationship

By Miss Kes 

It is natural for women to run to their friends to vent, to cry, and even to share good news about their relationships. But this may not be wise for several reasons as a friend who doesn’t have your best interests at heart could give you some guidance you might regret.

So don’t tell your friends about:

Your arguments

When your man is acting out, it is natural for you to get on your phone, call a friend and tell her all the things he said and did. But what happens after is dangerous. You could be telling your friend more than she needs to know about your man and if you forgive your man, she probably won’t and that can cause problems.

The details of your sex life

Your friends do not need to know all the details of your last shenanigans with your man. It is disrespectful, frankly.

Something your man told you in confidence

Your friend is your friend but your man is on a whole other level and you should treat what he shares with you with respect. Avoid sharing everything he says to you with your friends – if you need clarity, ask him. Learn to manage your relationship in private because once you open that door for all to comment and critique, blame no one but yourself when things go downhill.
