His or my?

If I want to say I want to keep a secret on something related to someone, should I say, keep "his" discretion or keep "my" discretion?

Thanks!

gilysse If I want to say I want to keep a secret on something related to someone, should I say, keep "his" discretion or keep "my" discretion? Neither of these is idiomatic. You don't "keep discretion".

Neither of these is idiomatic. You don't "keep discretion". You say, "Be discreet!"
