A age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Kay my girlfriend recently told me her dad is a drunk. Before she told me she wouldnt let me or her friends come over her house because she never knew when her dad was sober or not. She made me promise not to tell anyone because she was afraid of being tease. I was hanging with my friend who don't like my girlfriend (she can be stuck up sometimes). She make me tell her anything my girlfriend's private life (I was a bit hammer at the time). My friend told everyone at school. My girlfriend found out what I did and she got ridiculed by every kid in our grade. She didn't give me hell like I picture her do. She gave me the silence treatment instead and hasn't talked to me since. How I make it up to her cause now I feel like a complete dick.

You told when you were specifically asked not to. You Gossipped.

And gossip can't be stopped once it is started. Like pillow-feathers carried on the wond. it's impossible to gather and return all of them.

You make it up to her by never, and I mean EVER talking of secret and personal things in her life, again. Ever. And I cannot stress that enough.

You make it up by sticking with her and defending her and maybe even saying that you made it all up for attention so that YOU take the brunt of the crap she has to. Sacrifice your own self for her.

You will have each other and eventually you will be in another school where no one will know of these things and you start anew.

This 'friend' you told is not a friend at all. If she was, she would have respected your right to be friends with someone she doesn't like and leave it. But she used it to further her own hurtful agenda against your wishes. Does this not tell you what type of person your 'friend' is at this point in their life?

Maybe this will teach you that some secrets are secrets for a damn good reason. You should have encouraged you friend with the alcholic dad to seek school conselling and not told anyone else unless it would make her life even worse if it was kept quiet.

i don't know how you would make it up to her. next time if she takes you back decide if your girlfriend is more important to you than your friend. the friend might just be trying to get some dirt from you. here you are freely giving her what she wants. you don't ever let a friend allow you to betray your girl.
