Merry Christmas! Jesus loves you!

Merry Christmas! However, We celebrate neither Christmas nor January 1st in Iran.

Why the following is wrong, while we can use the bold sentences?

She is the only person who I trust with my secrets.

She is the only person with whom I share my secrets.
She is the only person who I share my secrets with.

Why is the following wrong, while we can use the bold sentences?

They are all OK. (American English.)

Thank you. But I meant why the following is WRONG:
She is the only person who I trust with my secrets.

I don't think the sentence is wrong. Both who and whom are acceptable here, but please note the following:

all that, only ... that etc

That is especially common after quantifiers like all, every(thing), some(thing), any(thing), no(thing), none, little, few, much, only, and after superlatives.

Is this all that's left? (More natural than ... all which is left?)

Have you got anything that belongs to me? (More natural than ... anything which ... )

The only thing that matters is to find our way home.

I hope the little that I've done has been useful.

It's the best film that's ever been made about madness.
​

Note that what cannot be used in these cases.

All that you say is certainly true. (NOT All what you say ... )

Thank you. But I meant why is the following sentence WRONG:

I can't explain why it's wrong. It's not wrong.

 

[Tarheel]

You could also say:

She is the person I trust with my secrets.

 

[newkeenlearner]

I can't explain why it's wrong. It's not wrong.

Thank you.
Because Rover_KE in post #3, change"who" to "whom", I thought my sentence was wrong.

She is the only person (whom) I trust with my secrets. ('whom' can be omitted.)

Thank you.
Because Rover_KE in post #3, changed "who" to "whom", I thought my sentence was wrong.

Perhaps the British use whom where Americans do not. (I can foresee a time in the near future when we don't use it at all.)
