How much of your personal or intimate life are you willing to share to your very close and love ones?

When I meant love ones I mean your family and your very dear and close friends.

Do you share all of it, half of it or none of it? If you are the ones who dont share anything even to for guidance or for help, or just to have someone to listen to your things. Or do you like to hide things and keep them to yourself even if they are good news? Is it very bad to keep 100% of your life in secret?

Do you do it because it is none of your friends business and only your business? Is it bad not to share or it is also healthy to share? Today I found out through Facebook that a good acquaitance of mine is going to be a first time daddy. He is 42 years old. This guy and I met for the first time around 10 years ago, as we both were part of a sports team and I thought we were close, not super BFF but we were closed. We used to go to the training together, meet each other downtown to go together by bus each weekend or we both share a cab together as well. He is a teaser and a funny guy, we share this routine for like 7 years and during the bus or cab ride we always joke, he liked to joked with me and viceversa
.
I never knew about his personal life cause he was alwyas a very reserved person, even if we knew for 10 years, he never liked to share his personal life, I dont know if he was the same with other people but today I believe he was the same with other people. The only thing I knew about his life was that his dad died many years ago. , he had one sister and he was the person in charge of taking care of his mom, that is all. The odd thing is that to give advice to a person he was very good at it, if a person had a problems, he gave advice and he is a very helpful and cooperativeguy, that was a very big virtue of this guy, always there to help and collaborate.

He never even wanted to share when he went for vacations to another country , something that is not that personal not to share anyway. He was super reserved and discreet.

never knew the guy had girlfriends or dates or anything, he never tell but he had many lady friends. I always see him alone when he attended sports team social activities, he never brought anyone with him to any social activities or even mention he was seeing someone, like instead of being happy he had someone in his life, it looks like he was hiding and embarrased to say he was with a person and having a baby, I dont see anything bad about that.

And I thought I knew him for many years. Each

time a person asked him about something about his life, he dodged the question and just gave innuendos as answers. Today among many other people, discovered through FB he is going to be a dad for the first time and his girlfriend is Mexican and he is now in Mexico, possibly he is going to live there. Many caught us by surprise seeing that in FB cause he was tagged by his partner with a video of the baby sex revelation party.
