When Honesty Kills (31)
No you aren't...been there and geesh it sucks. I have learned to be an open book from the start. Saves me the trouble of having to reveal things after my heart has gotten involved. I'm sorry if you're having trouble.

Yeah, you have to be completly honest with yourself and them. If you cant really see you beeing with them because of certain reasons. You have to let them know, and list why...whether it makes you look bad or not. I believe honesty is needed all the time in a relationship...thats how you communicate with each other.

even if the relationship fails...i'll know i was true to myself.
the only person i can count on each night before bed is myself...so why would i chance disappointing her with dishonesty?

your welcome

it depends on what your being honest about or is it criticism?

If your not totally honest, apart from hurting the other person, you also hurt yourself

I also believe in being completely honest with everyone, if they can’t except it they are not the one for you! Imo

People always show themselves.....im the end.
Honesty is one of the few valuable assets we all have...why squander it?
There is a way to deliver the truth with the most honourable of intentions, and when delivered gently, may be accepted more easily, no matter how painful.....
....I am not in any way or form comdoning 'white lies' or half truths...

I agree and if it comes out in the end rather than from your partner it hurts a whole lot more...then you can probably kiss the relationship good-bye!!!!!!!!

I think timing is everything....

The consensus is unanimous at this point it seems.
I certainly want the truth and I would deliver it in
a gentle way.

I think at times things are better left unsaid, I am meaning the unimportant things.
Being able to be honest is being able to communicate well and if things are troubling you you ought to be able to say.
I can remember being leery of bringing things up with my ex-husband because sometimes the truth was not handled to well.

Great question CTRocker. I am very honest and up front with women I would like to date. Friends and family told me not to be so open at first, but I want to start off any relationship based on truth.

Honesty is the best way to go into a relationship. Otherwise the relationship is built around falsehoods, lies, and deception

If you cannot be honest with someone when they need to hear it then what is the point?

Rocker, you are not alone. I have lost relationships by being honest, but I can't not be so that's the way it has to be. If it costs you someone, they really weren't right or worth it. Stay honest and true to yourself.
