Hoping you guys can give a bit of advice as to what to do...



Husband was arrested for possession of iioc and drugs a few months ago. The drugs have been a big factor in his risky behaviours- although of course not justifying it in any way.

Ive just got back from a catch up with a close friend. I basically ended up telling her that my husband has a drug problem and I'm trying to figure out what to do next.

I shouldn't have told her - I know this. It's not my secret to tell, I can't be completely honest with her anyway (as I didn't tell her about the iioc charges) and to top it off she's in the probation service.

Im panicking now that she's going to look into my husband and see that he's also been charged with iioc. She's a good friend and she wasn't judgemental when I told her, but I feel awful and very guilty. I can't face telling my husband that I've shared this with her.

Reallt don't know what to do now.

Hello there,

Your friend can not just look up someone, or your husband. This will break a few GDPR laws alone. You have half-shared something that weighed so heavy on your mind and heart. You've done nothing wrong in doing so. Your husband will understand, it is not fair to say it is not your news to share on this subject as you are very much in the firing line. It's not as if the consequences of his actions did not affect you.



Go easy on yourself and how wonderful you had a mate to share this with and she was non judgemental.
