My feeling is this: I should be able to discuss this work my husband without it being repeated. I don't repeat things to my family that he says or does. And when I spoke to him about it, I said "um telling you me feelings in confidence" which he now days I didn't say!
I know it's his family, and I don't expect our life to be hidden from them, but I do expect to be able to share my feelings on things with him in confidence.
I don't dislike his family, and I truly love his mother, I just don't care for the drinking at parties.
Am I wrong to feel this way? I think he and I should be able to share feelings without them going out to the world.
I don't think you are wrong. I can only speak from my own personal experience, but my husband just would not repeat that. I would consider it passive aggressive. And you should not have to preface what you say with "this is in confidence..." to your husband.
Thanks for this!
