Share, with his best interests in mind

I’ve since learned that the responsible thing to do is consider what’s in my partner’s best interest before sharing things. If, for example, my parents tell me they’re worried he won’t make money in his new business venture, I don’t need to tell him that. What good comes of that? Added pressure around his business and insecurity in his interactions with my parents? There will be things like that that you keep to yourself, not as a form of lying but as a form of protecting your partner.
