While I don't presume to tell people what they should and should not reveal to their spouses, I just don't think it's reasonable to admonish those who choose to have no secrets......

Well...I guess I would just have to disagree. I just find nothing "really sad" about having the kind of bond and trust with your spouse that allows you to share everything with one another.

Wow, just wow.

I'm sure all of your sisters are overjoyed that one of their own has admitted that she picks and chooses which vows she will keep depending on her life circumstances at the time.

I hope you're not a doctor. Doctors take an oath that they will keep patient information private. Lawyers, similarly, aren't allowed to blab about their clients EVEN to a spouse. Does your husband also share your careless attitude toward secrets he swore to keep? Geez, I hope he's not in the military.

Honor means keeping your vows. Period. You don't get to pick and choose. You, my dear, seem to be sorely lacking in that department and I feel sorry for your sisters and even for your husband. Afterall, you might get tired of him in a few years and decide to get rid of him. There's really nothing keeping you two together except for those pesky wedding vows and we all know how you feel about vows
