I’m trying to understand why I 45F overshare details of my partners health issues 50M with other women (who aren’t even close friends). I knew it was wrong but couldn’t stop myself. This person who I shared the info with then asked a direct question of my partner the next time she saw him (after I’d asked her not to say anything because as soon as I’d overshared i realised I’d done the wrong thing ).
I tried to explain that to my partner but it sounds like a feeble excuse for sharing something with another person who was essentially just after some gossip. I feel really bad and its pretty much resulted in the loss of trust in my relationship with my partner which i completely understand from his perspective.
TL;DR Why did I overshare my partners health issues in the first place when I know he’d be pissed off?.

…fucking what?? Girl, take some accountability. YOU made the choice to overshare. YOU decided not to stop yourself. YOU did this.
“I knew it was wrong but couldn’t stop myself.”
What do you mean you couldn’t stop yourself! would it physically hurt you to skip his health subject! you’re not a child, grow up and stop sharing his personal info.
You probably should see a therapist for your compulsive gossiping.
