Anytime I get any sort of news, whether it be negative or positive, I pretty much always tell my husband first. Since what affects me is ultimately going to be affecting him as well. Then from there, depending on the news, I will then spread it out to our immediate family and friends.

There have been instances in which I have become aware of certain circumstances while I was at work. I will typically text my husband, and if I feel the need to vent to my coworkers, then I will. Otherwise, it is mainly my husband I talk to anyways lol

As far as people telling me their news, I do not mind it especially when it is positive. When the negative stuff does inevitably occur, I just listen to people and give them the best advice I can with my limited knowledge and help in any way I can. I certainly do not look for gossip to spread during these instances. I say that because I used to be a gossipy person and I hated that about myself.
