Sag women: An annoying tendency I've noticed.

A couple weeks ago I was having breakfast with my Sag aunt, who was in town from Oregon. We share a special bond, as we're both the "black sheep" of our respective generations in our family, so the conversation naturally tended toward the dysfunction in our family and our thoughts on it (trust me, it's not as depressing as it sounds lol).

During the conversation, she confessed that one of her sister's told her that as far as she's concerned, my aunt is dead. Naturally, I asked which one, but she declined to tell me who.

I probably wouldn't have thought anything of it if not for the fact that I have an ex, also a Sag, who had a habit of doing the exact same thing. She would tell me things like someone we both knew went to an open mic and did a degraging poem about her, but refused to tell me who it was; or that someone at a party made a comment about her being with me, but again would refuse to say who.

I'm not a prying person, so I just left it at that in all of these situations, but why the hell would you even bring something like that up if you're only willing to tell half the story?

Any Sag ladies that could provide some insight for me?

Idk, I can't recall ever doing that.
If I'm gonna put someone on blast, you're gonna know exactly who I'm talking about.

Usually I let it slip accidentally anyway, there's no premeditated thought like "I have to tell someone this...I just wont tell them who I'm talking about"

I will be honest about this cause I've done it. The thing is with me I probably wont say who it is for the simple fact that if we both know the person I wouldnt want you to look at them differently just because of what was said so as to not cause any problems and then end up being the asshole who let it out.But most the time it just slips out.

Maybe, it's best you don''t know the other half of the story...
