by all means, i'm a fairly private person but i've realised that at least my housemates keep pretty big secrets which i don't really see the point in:

-one had to get an ambulance over last night and i was the only other person there and she doesn't want me to tell anyone. i didn't know until now that she has epilepsy (although it was probably nothing to do with that) she said she'd been looking for a way to tell me (how bout: hey, i have epilepsy, just so you know) and she doesn't want anyone to know about this either because she'll be 'vulnerable'. what if she has a seizure and none of the two-three people who know about it are present?

-another is completely oblivious to the fact that the third is gay even though she goes to see her girlfriend about every other weekend.

is it just our household that's a bit disfunctional or does anyone else have similar experiences?
