(Nick Galifianakis for The Post) | Hi, Carolyn: I have been married to my wonderful husband for over a decade, we have two kids and live within driving distance of our parents. I am looking into some health concerns (non-life-threatening) that may require a rather major surgery. My mother-in-law often shares sensitive information about extended family members with us, and likewise has shared our sensitive info with others. The recovery would take several weeks, and I don't want to offend them by not telling them — but I feel it is a personal issue that will be shared with others against my wishes if they are told. Is it fair to ask my husband not to tell them about this surgery, should it happen? — Not Everyone's Business |
