Should I feel bad for this

A few months ago, my partner and I had a rough patch. We had been doing long distance and I was growing more frustrated with the situation. I was also unhappy and hurt at some of the things that had happened during our relationship. Nothing major, just things that didn’t sit right with me.

I had a work placement and I opened up to some of the friends I made there as they were around while I was going through it. I don’t usually share with close friends etc as I know that my partner will see them and it makes it awkward. I opened up to them because I thought they were far separated enough.

Now everything is fine with us, we are no longer long distance and we’ve spoken about the things I was upset about. however the guilt for sharing with those people is eating me up inside. Hve I been a terrible person? I still see the group of people I shared with time to time through work. And I would say they’re now my friends.

There's no need to worry. You needed to express yourself, and talking to others is a perfectly natural way to do that. Let it go and move forward
