Did they actually break their promise yet, or don't you think they did and therefore forfeit any right to having THEIR secrets about what they do (borrowing and not paying back, LYING, etc.) kept?

I forgot to say, if the friend said they'd not tell anyone, they swear on someone's grave and all that other b.s.

Who needs enemies having friends like you have? Look for others and enrich your life with true friends.

I agree with the first 2 comments. You are outed. This person is not being a good friend and you can certainly do better. No don't lower yourself to this standard by telling others about their secrets or lying etc, as that doesn't really accomplish anything. Ignore this person, and they will get the hint. If that doesn't work....tell them.......they were wrong, hurt you, and friends dont do that deliberately, and they did and you would rather not be aquainted with them any longer.
Outing is outing whether out in a large crowd or one to one, same difference, nuff said.

There is no such thing as a secret if two people know it. The friend who thinks it's funny to "out" their friend in public is obviously not a friend, but someone who gets a charge out of stirring up confusion and embarrassing people.
One *could* stoop to their level, I suppose, but what does that make you? No better than they are, and perhaps a little worse, because you do it on purpose. At least there's a chance they are doing it because of a misplaced sense of humor or appropriateness. You would be doing it out of anger and revenge.
Sounds like a person that needs to be eased out of your life. There are so many people out there who know how to be a friend -- why waste time with someone who doesn't value your friendship?

Two wrongs don't make a right, and telling a secret just because someone told your secret is really as low as a snake's belly, and if you are that low, no wonder someone told your secret.
Perhaps learn to kept your mouth shut, and if you are gay stand up proudly, why lurk in the closet. If you want equal rights, then you have a certain responsibility to fight for them as well, and not sit back and reap the rewards that others have fought for.

A real friend will respect the other's wishes, no matter where they are. And yes, she broke her promise. Her's is but a lame excuse.
Best bet - dump her and find a real friend. Payback isn't worth your time or energy.

this is not a friend at all, it sounds immature of the person that you are calling a friend. Sit down a speak to this person and tell him/her how you feel about this, if they choose to ignore your feelings drop him/her and go on with your life. friends are suppose to support you in your life, not betray your confidence.

how are they outing you in public but not actually telling someone? are they making comments-like hey do you think that persons cute or hey that person is for you. maybe they are not comfortable with the news yet and just need a reminder to keep hush hush
