My two best girlfriends know pretty much everything about me, skeletons and all. To a lesser extent, my mom as well, but there's a few topics I don't feel comfortable discussing with her so neither of us go there.
I wish I were closer to my sister but maybe one day we'll be on that level. She's just at a very different maturity level and stage of life than me and we rarely talk except for the occasional text or FB post.

I realized I painted myself into a corner with a lot of stuff.
I *could* tell my mom or cousin anything and they would handle it well.. but the cousin always brings it back up at inappropriate times and my mom wants to help me fix things. Sometimes it's nice to just let it sit for a minute.
Mostly I just don't want to spread stuff around that I find disturbing or depressing.
I'm kind of a closed book I think. There are a lot of things I would rather keep to myself than tell people. I tell my closest friends a lot, but I don't think there's anyone besides my husband who knows everything about me.
I have two sisters, but we aren't really close. They are both super religious, and I feel very judged by them because I'm not. If I tried to be closer with them they would probably learn a lot about me they really wouldn't like.
I usualy talk to my mom when it is something about Paul and I. She is the only person who will look at the situation rationally and defend Paul if he needs it. Everyone else automatically takes my side even though that might not be the honest assesment of the situation.

My sister and my BFF from high school. They both know everything about everything.
I have always assumed that it went both ways but recently my sis told me something she confided in to our SIL (who's now on the outs) a couple years ago and I have to say, I couldn't believe she confided in her over me. She told me now because she was worried SIL may now spill. It was during a very chaotic time of my life, but I was still a little surprised she went to her over me.
