Within any relationship, telling the truth is always a key concept in having a trustworthy relationship. But how much truth is too much? For example, if the one would ask the other… do I look fat in this? Do you respond with the truth and risk potentially having an argument lasting several hours and nasty remarks back and forth? Or, do you tell a white lie just to get by?
I’ve always believed that telling the truth should be the maximum goal for both partners involved within the relationship. Yes, sometimes the truth can hurt. However, I would rather be told the absolute truth than finding out my significant other lied to me. This would cause me to question every opinion or word spoken from my other half.
I would definitely stick to the truth. Honest opinions and remarks will only help to strengthen the relationship. If you’ve done something that would cause tension or strain on the relationship, it is your fault and your partner deserves to know the truth. It will then be your responsibility in dealing with the pain you’ve caused yourself. Make sure to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
telling the truth is very important! =)
ReplyDeleteyeah, telling the truth is very important, but I feel that sometimes somethings are better left unsaid or unknown. No woman wants to be told that she looks fat, so why not give her what she wants. Rather than her stressing about it and then yelling at me. Great topic.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree. I think that telling the truth and having a lot of communication in a relationship is crucial for it to be successful!
ReplyDeleteI completely agree, especially in college. College relationships are hard but definitely having a lot of communication makes it easier.
