Sounds like you got the answers you wanted, but I thought that I would throw my two cents in as a spouse. My husband used to be VERY protective of the fact that he has CF. He didn't want ANYONE to know and I wasn't supposed to say anything to anyone. I understand that this is something very personal and that it should be my husband's place to tell people, BUT, there came a point when me not being able to tell anyone became a huge issue. When he was sick (like in the hospital sick) and other people would find out about it was hard for me to be able to talk to people at all because they all had so many questions about what was going on and I was so constrained in what I could say. I also worked with my husband at the time. Also, there is a point when I NEEDED to be able to talk about it to someONE. So I finally had a talk to my husband and explained all of that to him and we both got to understand where the other was coming from. So, my only advice would be to tell your husband the "rules" for when he is allowed to say something. Hopefully he will understand where you are coming from!!
BTW, how are ya???

I work with a similar person, unfortunately, it's the HR/Payroll person and she is very unprofessional. And most people just think she's an overly concerned, kind caring person. Sorry, she's a venomous busy body. I don't trust her, I don't like her. She LOVES to find out info about people, so SHE can be the person who knows all -- a terrible gossip. When DS was lifeflighted to the city and spent 4 weeks in the NICU, she was the first to call. Currently we have a coworker whose on dialysis awaiting a kidney transplant and is very, very private about her health issues. This woman will gather people together, announce at staff meetings, to complete strangers that D doesn't want anyone to know but she's having such and such a problem.
She just bothers me, I don't trust her because she feigns interest, gives out hugs, says she prays for us all -- then turns around and strikes. She's told me that one of my coworkers is bipolar, another she suspects has dementia. A few months ago a coworker of mine who feels the same way about this woman told me that she told her that another person was an alcoholic. Oh and last month when I was having major sinus headaches -- it was mentioned that I'm going thru menopause. News to me! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> I just try to avoid her -- don't offer her any info about myself or others and when she tries to gossip about others, I just keep on working and reply that I hadn't noticed.
