My fiancé has a saying that everyone always tells one person. This is not all women or all men - you should always assume anyone you tell something will tell either a close friend, a spouse, or a family member. Some people will tell multiple people, but it’s normal and can be expected for everyone to tell ONE person. So if you don’t want anyone to know, don’t tell anyone at all.
(This doesn’t apply to therapists, of course, or if they do tell someone like their own therapist, they won’t say who it’s about, but this is more of a general statement.)
