Opinions on not telling the whole truth?

Question

Is it better not to tell the truth to someone if you think it would cause an upset in your relationship, or is it better to tell the truth and be honest? Im dealing with a problem like this now..a friend said that they didnt want to tell me something because it would possibly mess up our relationship...I say (now that I found out anyway) that withholding truth is as bad as lying and its not being honest with the other person. Apparently, my friend has a different idea...I suppose something like if you dont directly ask, then I wont bother to tell...dont want to upset the apple cart.

Exodus  20:16  " Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour." It's best to tell the truth all the time. How would you like it done to you ? Psalm 15:2 " He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart."

Would you deliberately go up to a women with a new born baby and say, 'what an ugly baby', it that is what you believed.

No you would not, you would be polite because personal opinions are just that.... personal.
