What would you do ?

What would you do if you were in a position that you did'nt want to be in, but it was in your interest to stay there for the short term, and you were dying to tell someone, and needed to do something about it what would you do.

Any hints?

Here are a couple of trite cliches that come to mind: a problem shared is a problem solved.

BUT if a secret is something you tell one other person, then surely that means that person will tell one other someone, who will tell one other someone...

PM someone in a different country who has no other interest in it and ask for advice?

Sounds intriguing anyway:o
