Jan, you are (as always) right on target. Anything revealed has a way of coming up in some context even if revealing it is not deliberate. We were discussing encounters with police in my family recently. When they have come by our house in the past (that is another story), they always asked us to step outside. In that case, they can arrest with no warrant. If we stay inside, they need one. They have their little tricks to get around some rights we have and don't understand.

Secrets hardly remain secret. It's an open secret. Love.

does feel awful to be betrayed. I agree. Best to wait and share when one knows another better.

Oh that's funny. I think the art is called tact.

i hope this isn't based on something that recently happened to you, jan, but i suspect that it is. it's always such a drag to find out that someone you trusted was not worthy of that trust. well said!
