Friends might not always give you the best advice, especially on dating and relationships. Yet, most of us have an obsessive habit of sharing every little detail about our relationship with close friends and family. Although venting to someone you blindly confide in might help, a regular occurrence of this can potentially end your relationship sooner or later, say dating experts and therapists.

Ruchi Ruuh (@therapywithruchi), a relationship counsellor and therapist, who has worked closely with couples to help them navigate the complexities of their romantic relationships, says, “Discussing relationship issues with others can be both beneficial and detrimental. Sharing problems with trusted friends or a family member can provide valuable, newer perspectives and emotional support. However, sharing intimate details with friends or family can lead to gossip, misunderstandings and perhaps judgement too.”

Similarly, Karandeep Singh (@astro_karan), relationship counsellor and astro sage says, “Sharing relationship issues with others can be a double-edged sword. Sometimes friends can spot something you might have missed. However, sharing too much can lead to unwanted biases. People close to you might naturally favour you and have a limited understanding of your partner`s perspective.”
