If you want something in return for something, state that contract first.

Person A: Guess what? blah blah blah.

Person B: Oh my goodness.

Person A: You can’t tell anyone what I just told you.

Person B: Why not?

Person A: Because.

Person B: You should have stated the non-disclosure agreement before telling me blah blah blah.

Person A: Well, you can’t tell anyone what I just told you.

Person B: I didn’t give you permission to tell me something that put me in a predicament.

Person A: Well, you can’t betray my trust.

Person B: What trust? You just told me something that you shouldn’t have told me.

Person A: Well, I need you to help me here.

Person B: You should have asked for help first.

Person A: Silence.

Person B: I will do what I think is best with this blah blah blah. That may not be what you think is best.
