sassy49senior: Under what circumstances do you think it is okay for someone to discuss details of his/her relationship with family or friends?
Firstly depends on what kind of relationship we are talking about here... is it a romantic one that involved 2 people who care about each other? And by family, do you mean, parents and siblings, or kids?

Long term relationship. Any family members that you feel good in sharing personal information with.

When we do discuss things of a personal nature and are given the advice we were seeking. Do we use this advice or continue with the way things are? How many times do we go back to same family/friend with complaints before they finally tell us they don't want to hear it again?

Sassy, do you mean discussing the relationship with his or her family and friends? If so that can be dangerous ground, however long the relationship or how close you feel you have become to them. Blood is almost always thicker than water.
If you mean revealing a relationship to one´s own family or friends, then as others have said it all depends on the relationship and how you think they will react. I have no secrets from my family, even if I´m just going on a date I usually tell them.

It's fine to tell the familily about relationships..... but, reading between the lines of your answer to Vinny.... you seem to use the family with complaints.... the secret is to listen to what they say you did not mention if you took the advice if given then they will not be put in a position were they feel you complain too much.... Family adveice tends to be given without bias and is usually in your interest to take note of......

In my opinion... it depends of the family or friends that we have ...and our "judgment of characters "

Personally speaking, I very rarely spoke to friends or family about my relationship(s), so I cant really comment on repeated requests to family/friends. I would imagine, like everything else the well would run dry eventually if it's overused.
When I spoke about my relationships it was already too late for any advice to work am afraid.
There are so many variables/circumstances in relation to this Sass that its hard to give a definitive answer without knowing more.

I discuss everything, and I mean, everything, with my daughter, circumstances could never dictate the truth between us and I have a couple of friends who I trust that much too - I feel lucky to be able to say that.....

I guess what it really comes down to is Sassy has too much time on her hands and when that happens her imagination goes wild.
I was thinking about the 2 year relationship I was in. Moved in with him before a month had passed.
My adult kids and 2 sisters were so against it and they tried as best they could to tell me it was a mistake. Truth is, I pretty much knew but because I decided I was not going to let them tell me what to do I just did it. 
Very soon I started calling them and letting them know I wanted out but was afraid. Finally my sons told me if I called one more time crying and telling them I wanted out they were coming to haul me and all my things out of there. I did, they did and yes, I am very grateful that they loved me enough to do what they did. I just made a bad decision by not listening right away.Thank all of you for your thoughts on this particular subject. I do see where it may have been confusing.

when you can answer "no" to all of the following questions:1. will this relative gossip about your private life?
2. do you have any reason to believe this relative will use your private information in a negative way to damage or hurt you?
3. has this relative or friend betrayed you - ever?
a bit of advice: if you're thinking about doing or saying something, and you're feeling a "nudge" or intuition to put it off, or not do or say it ---then don't. Our 'red flags' are there for a reason. Kind of a built-in fire wall. Use this resource. I think since you needed to ask this question, it's best to not tell the tale. I know people need to get stuff off their chest, but look at it this way: There are millions of instances where we wish to God we had just kept still. I know of not one single instance where I was sorry I kept QUIET. Feel me, darlin'?
