Dear Eric: Please help me settle a disagreement with my wife. One day, a friend of ours, “Ed,” shared something very sensitive and embarrassing with us and asked for advice. He also asked us not to tell anyone, and, of course, we both swore to secrecy. One week later, one of my wife’s oldest and closest friends (a “BFF”) came to visit and my wife proceeded to tell BFF about Ed’s predicament.
