How do you avoid talking about intimate relationship details?

Cupid’s Advice:

While some couples may be loud and proud, you shouldn’t broadcast every aspect of your relationship.  Cupid has some tips on how to keep the intimacy in your relationship:

1. Prioritize: If you feel the need to dish about your relationship problems to a friend, pick the most important issue and confide in only one friend.  Complaining about too many problems to too many people will bring on a bad reputation.

2. Think before you speak: If you talk about a problem with a friend, it may do more harm than good.  Consider how your words will affect your partner and your relationship before you open your mouth.

3. Be optimistic: Bottling up feelings isn’t healthy, but try to keep things in perspective by staying positive about minor spats.
