Hey Skee , you are absolutely correct. Some things are better left unsaid ! There are certain things that I will take to the grave with me never to have been said to anyone. We all have our secrets. Can you imagine the things I blurted out while I was drunk or messed up which I VERY much regret. The sharing I'm talking about should probably happen for people like yourself in marriage counseling or couples therapy. You need that third party there to keep things under control. It may be a safe environment for a non-sharing couple to let their feelings out. Just still watch what you say because when you leave the session she could wind up beating on you ! ( mine did )
good luck.....
