Preposition question

Can anybody find a suitable preposition for this sentence?

"I don’t confide my personal business __________________ anyone".

The possibilities would be to, in and with.

Without a direct object, you confide in a person. But what if the person is the indirect object (such as in the case above)?

Thanks to anyone who can help.

I'd use 'to' there, but it's a bit of a starnge-sounding sentence.

Thanks tdol. I'm trying to come up with a better way of phrasing it now. It does seem a bit odd, now that you mention it.
