Marriage comes with its ups and downs. There are times you and your spouse can’t get enough of yourselves, while other times you can’t even stand each other’s presence. In situations like this, you may want to rant and pour your heart to a close friend or family member or even turn to social media to say it as it is.
However, below are five examples of when you should reconsider sharing and consider keeping your issues between you and your spouse.
1. Every little fight or disagreement
If you tell your family and friends every time your partner says something mildly insensitive or every time you have a minor disagreement, they may start to wonder why you got married in the first place. It’s one thing to vent, but don’t overshare all of the negative stuff and forget all of the positives.
2. Money issues and salaries
In marriage, it’s better to keep things like salaries to yourself if possible. If you earn more or less than your partner or there are any cash flow issues between you, your friends don’t need to know.
3. An affair
No one wants to think about this, but the truth is, many couples go through it at some point or another. Whether it’s physical, emotional, or virtual, at some point your partner may have done something sketchy that you consider cheating.
If you do go through something like this with your partner, it makes sense to want to vent to your friends, but think hard before telling them especially if you’ve decided to stay. They may resent your partner and find it harder to forgive, which is going to be very difficult for you. It may be simpler to keep this one to yourself and work through it with your partner.

4. Details of your intimate lives
What you and your partner do behind a closed-door should stay there. Unless you’d be okay with your partner sharing these details with their friends. If not, you probably should keep your lips zipped when it comes to your intimate moments together.
5. Your partner’s past
If your partner has a shady past of unsavory activities but has been honest with you, moved on, and improved their life for the better then it simply isn’t a good idea to tell your friends and family. Because whether you like it or not, they are going to judge your spouse so its best to maybe keep such information to yourself.
