I have one good friend that I told and no one else knows. They know I'm involved with someone but have never met him. It was something we had and still have to keep tight lipped because I was an inmate at the prison I worked at but now I haven't said anything because I don't want anyone to judge him. His whole family knows about me though lol

[fnascar]

I've told a couple of friends about him... and 1 family member who I completely trust. Right now, I want to take my time. News to my mom, dad and brothers may be a bit hard.

Nothings wrong with it, like with anything, I will when I'm ready...

[ladyfoxs]

I know how you feel,I'm not to tell anyone anything, my life is my life and I choose not to,I have many reasons,don't get me wrong I love this man with all my heart and soul and he know that I do,I have read so many post on here and it will make you think, just to keep you real with you I was looking for any little things to jump ship, yes I stared doing homework looking up name's, I did need to ask many questions, I told him I was doing my homework, so he sending me information too, so baby all I can say to all of this listen to your heart it will take you to where you need to be, keep praying ask god to guide you he will, sometime in life you have to be quiet and sometime you need to speak up, this is my time to be quiet, I only got 8 weeks to go. God bless

I have only told a select few...and they were not receptive to it. 2 of these are males who have either been to jail or live off their mother's property. I say this to say most people have things in their life that you would not go on in your life, yet the tendency is for them to judge. It's ironic. My best friend has found out she has married a gay man, and he can't stand to touch her. Yet, she would spit nails at me if she knew I am in love, planning to marry a felon. The bottom line is you have to be strong and live for your own desires. I have decided that if a person is good to me, feeds my soul and loves me; and I feel the same. I remind myself to not seek their approval, as society has groomed us to do so. It saves a lot of misery and when you look at their lives, you know they will not allow you to pick their mates. I remind them of this when they want to pass judgement. Others I don't even bother telling. It's like throwing pearls to the swine.

Yes many people judge when they shouldn't no one at my present job job know about my man and where he is but I had a lot of friends at my old job and many of them do know.I also told my three best friends.my sister knows as does her husband and although I didn't tell them right away fearing their judgemental attitudes and disapproval I did in time tell my parents as well.surprisingly my parents were more acceptive than I thought they would be.they are very supportive of our relationship now.I am not ashamed of my man or our relationship and wouldn't care if the entire world knew but I don't want the negativity or drama of the uninformed and judgemental people that our in this world.so I have only told those whom I trust and know has got my back.it is hard enough to be in a mwi realtionship or in a relationship with a inmate without other peoples negative opinions and big mouths running and their sticking their noses into ur relationship and I ain't got the time to put up with that drama

[SetHimFree]

My parents & sister know ...they are very supportive & positive. A few close friends know & are positive.

[my_friend00]

Both my parents, my sister, probably my brother-in-law, my guy's mother and grandma, some of the guys from my fire dept I volunteer at (but only one knows he's in prison I think) lol. My friend and her mom (they don't know he's in prison) so I don't know if they count. lol.

[BrandonsBabe]

Everyone but my family knows. I know how they will react, and I don't want to deal with that until he's out. Once he's out, everything will be worth it, but until then, I don't need the shit that would come with people knowing. A former friend tried to tell my dad (I'm nineteen and live on my own.) and he threatened so many things, it was ridiculous. When my love comes home, I will definitely let my family know all about him, but until then, I don't really see the point.

[His Future]

I told my mom my older kids and my close friend tht is never judgemental. We talked abt me not telling everyone not becuz I'm ashamed but becuz I'll be into it with a lot of ppl due to them being in mine all he really cared abt was my mom giving him a chance and not prejudging him and she good so all is well

[nikki52]

we met in 2001...married in 2002...when i first mentioned him to my family they were so against the idea and really talked bad,,,his family of course was okay with it and even attended our wedding.....we have since then divorced...but my family..friends never knew about that side of my life..all they did was complain so I went on living this secret life...dealing alone..never having any one to talk to...it was awful

[ebfisherculp60]

Just letting everyone know that I have told my mom & I received a very positive reaction. I told one of my friends and she flipped the script on me, but I was more concerned with what my mom was going to say....hope everyone is well

I sorry you had to deal with such negativity and had to live in secrecy. I know what at feels like because I lived that for a year and a half. Yes, it is awful. I hope that you guys are at least still friends

unfortunatly we can not be friends..per his request....he doesnt beleive in being friends after lovers...he has asked me to re-marry him and I said ok but when he gets out...so much strain has been put on our relationship...so many hurtful things said until we both need to get to know each other out here....but he is not going for that so its true time for me to pack up and move on for real this time im not sad and not really hurt becuase I knew his views on this before...i think I was hopeful that he would change his views.

I agree, I can't be friends with someone whom I've had that type of connection with. It would be too hard to deal with. I think we've all had those moments where we hope our love is strong enough to get them to see things from our point of view, but that rarely happens, especially when it comes to such serious aspects of the relationship. It's good to see that you have the strength to move on because you know whats best for you...so many of us hold on & stay in situations that are no good for us.
