About equal but not really a fair question. My ex had to deal in some gossip as part of one of her business activities, so it wasn't really her choice, while all of my involvement in that sort of thing is by choice.
Why do you ask? Heard something juicy? (Leans in) Tell!
Frequency is the same, but the amount of time spent doing it is different.
I will tell him more stories from the past which I find entertaining. They make him laugh, and if they didn't, I'd cut it out. He does like chatting with me and his coworkers about other people, on a fairly regular basis. He doesn't do stories though. It's just chit chat with him, but it's total gossip.
