Boyfriend has told friends and family about my endometriosis when I didn’t want him to?

[Anonymous]

He’s told several people and I’m pretty upset with him. I wanted to keep it private. Am I overreacting?

Well that depends. Did you specifically tell him not to? For me I discuss things w my mom, yes in regards to myself or my girl when she ask how we’re doing. But that’s because to me it’s on a level of caring, my mom loves my girl so I will discuss that w her. Now if I had a girl who had herpes or something like that to which I would have as well, I wouldn’t discuss something like that. But to me that is a female issue that my mother may be able to understand more as a female than I could. I don’t think he did it w ill will. He didn’t do it intentionally to hurt you. Maybe he was concerned, wanted some advice on what could do to help you or whether he should really worry about it or not. Plus at a much younger age as a male, even as a female you really don’t k ow a whole lot so you look to others who are older for advice. I don’t think it’s a lack of empathy either. But for future reference if this is the case I’d talk to him. Maybe he didn’t think you’d be hurt by it if he had discussed it w someone who is near and dear to his heart. Especially if his mother loves you. Now if his mother hated you, ok I probably wouldn’t bring it up either. Talk to him.

Doesn't matter if it's your stubbed toe. You asked him not to share, he did, that's betrayal.
