I also got my diagnosis long after I was married, so hubby just has to put up with me. I also told my parents. I have some close girl friends and I told them. They are from South American where mental illness is not stigmatized, and they said that they loved me because I was so AFFECTIVE. LOL

I would not tell most people,but sometimes if you are close to someone they pick up the fact that you are different. But I still think it is your right to be confidential about your disease.
