Sharing Too Much with Friends/Family

[Luba]

Have you ever talked with friends/family/acquaintances any of your intimate moments with you lover/husband/partner? Were you sorry afterwards or do you think it's no big deal? Has a friend shared with you their intimate moments and it just put you off...if so, how did you deal with it?

I have occasionally shared too much with my husband, but it's also a part of my past, and what makes me me. So....no real regrets.

I've had friends & family share TMI, and I sat there thinking....what on earth possessed them to tell me that?? I generally just nod my head, and try to change the subject if it is too uncomfortable.

That's exactly how I feel, too! People tell each other THE most intimate details where others could hear as well, and don't bat an eye. Is this the new wave of the world?

I have told close friends things but only in private. They have shared with me too at a time when they needed it or I needed to hear how they dealt with something so I don't regret talking to them and I only avoid those conversations with people I am not very close to.

my brother randomly told me he needed a poo the other day while we were sat watching a dvd. i then spent half an hour in tears laughing at his random and sudden statement. is that classed as intimate?

I never discuss real intimate details with anyone. I will joke around a lot about this particular subject but I never give real details out to anyone, ever. What happens in the bedroom stays there and is between me and my love.

was thinking a bit more on this, ive occasionally talking to my cousin about a few things, girly chat over a bottle of wine.

Erm.. I deffinently fail this test? Haha.. I talked to Luba on the phone a few weeks ago and somehow told her how I erm, groom myself? Not sure how that came out. I'm open, lol

I think it maybe an age thing. My friends my age and I will say pretty much anything about ourselves to close friends but we tend not to disclose stuff involving our partners unless it's something serious which would be confided to a best mate. My younger friends, male and female, tell everything in graphic detail. It doesn't bother me at all.

I think that "grooming" probably means something different in the UK

I told my mom me and Pepsi were having sex so leave us alone, so she decided to tell me she was going to go do the same thing with her boyfriend... I sort of.. am open.. as well as my mom...

Um.. by grooming I meant trimming the private areas there, meanon. lol

[Meanon]

Good, you won't get arrested for that

[Fireblade]

I've done a few things with Pepsi that may have gotten us arrested though?

[Luba]

Fireblade, reading your posts; methinks you like living on the edge! That driving in Toronto thing and reading this thread cracked me up!

So PepsiChic, do you feel like your life is an open book with FB? Glad you feel secure enough to be so open FB. At least a person always knows where they stand with you.
