Should I stop being so honest?

My gf and I have a very great relationship,we talk bout everything. She asks me questions and I tell her the very truth. She asks me if she b!tches too much and I tell her she b!tches more than anyone I know. If she asks me anything, I will tell her..Should I keep my piehole shut or should I continue to be honest?

    She trusts you to tell her the truth, and she can evidently handle the truth from you without getting hurt or angry, which is great.. If she didn't want to know, she wouldn't ask.

    And what's the alternative -- lying to her? Not a good idea.

    When you ask her questions, does she tell you the truth?

    There are so many old sayings...God hates a liar...The truth shall set you free...Honesty is the best policy...etc. And, I must add that honesty is truly a virtue...however...you should understand that there is an 'art' to telling the truth. You can always tell the truth WITHOUT intentionally hurting someone. For example: If your date asks you...Do you love me? (And, if you don't love them in a romantic way)...say...I love you as a friend but not romantically. (It takes some of the hurt and disappointment away. It still hurts...but not as devastating. Try to be kind in your honesty...not hurtful.)

    No you shouldn't stop being honest. The reason your girlfriend probaby asks you in the first place is because she knows that she's going to get a honest answer.

    If you're worried about it though, keep being honest but depending on the situation tone it down or keep it at your usual level.

    I think there is a happy medium. Sometimes being truthful can really hurt and you have to tackfully find an answer that will make them happy but not hurt them. My husband has been truthful with me a few times when in reality I just wanted him to puff up my ego to make me feel better. I told him straight out....next time LIE. My husband has now gotten smart and just sips his coffee smiles at me over the edge of his cup and tells me he loves me.

  • never give up your honesty.

    honesty leads to trust which leads to love.

    maybe that's why your girlfriend loves you so

    because she knows that you'll be honest with her and express your true emotions

    and because of your truthful nature

    you wouldn't hurt her without telling her

    what you feel.

    Be honest. Nothing wrong with that. In fact if everyone were a little more like that we wouldn't have so many people thinking, "I wonder what he really means by that?"

    No, that is a wonderful quality..if that is how the relationship started...keep it going!!! Once you lose honesty, you'll see the relationship slipping....in my heart, anyway
