Is it normal that my girlfriend tells her friends everything?

[MikeyMike0811]

At the beginning of our relationship my girlfriend agreed that all intimate things remain only with us as a couple. This included sexual intimacy and secrets which we assured each other wouldn't go any further.

I have since learnt that when she is frustrated due to an argument etc she will tell her friends anything she likes including things she has promised to keep private, Initially she had lied to me about saying these things but now she says it's just the way she is and most girls are the same.

I have explained that it would make me feel less safe in the relationship to confide in her and be so open, sexually and otherwise. I also feel she has betrayed my trust.

So is this normal?

First of all, she lied to you.

Second, no, I don't think it's not normal. Even when I have an argument with my boyfriend and I talk to my girl friends about it, I don't go tell them about our sexual life (if not in very general terms) and especially I don't tell them secrets that we had agreed to keep between the two of us. I can explain the argument and complain etc, but there's no need to betray his trust.

Unfortunately I think it is quite common, I've come across it once or twice anyway. BUT, that doesn't stop you having the right to be angry about it.

i talk to my friends about most things that are going on in my life - like my thoughts and feelings etc. however, while we might have a bit of a giggle about sex every now and again, i would never disclose personal stuff about me and my bf, and neither would i break confidence in something he had spoke to me about. same as i wouldn't sicuss my best friends problems with my boyfriend.
