Acabo de darme cuenta de que ya le dije más de la cuenta
Does that sound right?
I just realized that I already told him too much, more than I am comfortable with him knowing....
Testing: más de la cuenta
Gracias.

If it's a play on words you are trying to create, then you have done it perfectly, otherwise, I have to agree with Lazarus and Babs - 005faa61, May 26, 2011

It is nearly perfect: you could avoid the repetition (cuenta... cuenta) with a different expression to get a better stylistic effect. For example:
Acabo de darme cuenta de que tendría que haberme callado antes.
Ahora que lo pienso, ya le he dicho más de la cuenta.

tendría que haberme callado antes.= I should have been quiet before. I am going to have to ask a question about this format now with tendría. - jeezzle, May 26, 2011
I make sense. English modal verbs often confuse both English speakers and foreign speakers, because they use a different perspective. - lazarus1907, May 26, 2011
