many a times i find people who insist on knowing the truth but not being to accept the truth thereafter. that being the case, why wanna know. i tink a past, should be left, a past. if it's the present/current, then perhaps it is a different story.
so, charlize....what have you been hiding from me? kekekeke~~~
Remember Jimmy your ex bf from our college days?
Well, never mind. ![]()

There is no such thing as total honesty.

So you would lie, if say, you know telling the truth would destroy your relationship with your other half?![]()

The truth is that we are all prostitutes.
Now find someone who doesn't get outraged by something as obvious as that. ![]()
to me honesty is paramount in any relationship. no one can ever make decisions on another person's behalf. the best one can do is to endow the other with all the information the other needs, and let the other decide what to do next. concealing the truth in order not to hurt others is a sham and a lie working under the guise of self-preservation.
let your other half know all there is to know about you, and whatever happens next is up to your other half. respect your other half as a rational, thinking adult.

What if, and I say what if, a person has a hidden past that she would like to hide from her partner, knowing full well that revealing it would destroy the most wonderful thing she has with him? Maybe she was young and gullible, maybe she was too wild and too carefree, maybe she was the worst backstabbing bitch in the whole wide world. But she wants to change her life and move on.
Woud you not agree that total honesty is not a good thing?
when you in the position you will know what to do.The same technique does not work out for every women,

the result of telling everything to your girl, you will lose the girl.Everyone have little secret, why do you just give her a little boundary for imagination. For every male, should be a little smart, anyway gal not looking for, honest man, but man should cheer her up.

yes there need to be honesty about past...
if you done something really wrong to the person , you take a risk whether to tell , which will lead to break up...
but if you dun tell, you are guility and cannot face the person, but may have a steady relationship until the truth is out...
so what is ur choice?
Life is so complicated.
So bloody complicated.

No such think as total honesty or even honesty in some cases
'honesty is hardly ever heard.....mostly what i need from you huuuu..'(Billy Joel)
So can I assume that in most relationships, usually there is never 100% honesty in a relationship?
It could be that little white lie now and then, it could be an unforgiving past that never sees the light of day.
Th truth does hurt. ![]()
