When honesty attacks

I try to be as honest as I can in all relationships. But, as I have mentioned before, I sometimes can't keep stuff to myself. 
Recently, I told my boyfriend that a friend of mine wanted me to hook up with one of our mutual friends. To which I got the response "I hate that fucking bitch, and I'll tell her she's a bitch to her face". 
Wait, what? Okay, so I understand his concern. I felt the same way when he told me that one of his girl friends likes him. And because, ultimately, I trust him, but I have no idea what her intentions might be. And well, he can trust me, but what are my friends intentions? 
I feel bad now, that I said anything about the subject. I feel that if they ever meet he’s going to not like her based on this. But then again, I feel like if I didn’t tell him, I’d feel like I was keeping a horrible secret. 
How do you know when you’re over sharing? That’s what I don’t get. How do you decide what’s something you should say versus something you shouldn’t? Because to me, everything is important to share.

I wouldn't have told him, but to each his own. I don't agree with him that she's a @#$!, but honestly, what kind of friend says that? I obviously don't know her, and for all I know she could have been joking, but if she respected you and your relationship, she wouldn't have said anything. Sorry this happened to you :(

Just days ago I was obsessed with one of my flatmates last night I told him how I felt and the beautiful spell was broken. (I had told my partner about a week before about it) This was the first time that I ever really felt like, the truth will set you free.
We're still probably going to do it, though.

There are somethings I don't share. When one of out friends was so drunk and he touched my ass I didn't say shit. I told the boy to stop but that's where it ended. (heh, end)

I'm a habitual oversharer. As a result I've had to learn how to be rather charming to talk my way out of what I just said. Not the person to ask for advice, at all.

Hahaha Christopher, so am I. I also can't give advice. Ever.

I have no boundries and often overshare.

Hm. I'm also single.

Might not be the best person to take advice from lol.
