'She keeps me honest' - what does that mean?

[Anonymous]

I overheard my boyfriend chatting to a friend a few days ago talking about us and our relationship. He told her I keep him honest.

I've never heard this phrase before so I was wondering what everyone thought this meant?

Means she makes him better and not feel the slightest urge to flirt around or do things that shouldn't be done in a relationship. It can also mean she's controlling. Depends on how it was said.

You make him not stray off from the right path. Or that he doesn't look for other girls when he's with you.

You keep him in check basically.
