Is it always necessary to be open and honest with your partner because YOU would feel less guilty?

My opinion on this

If you done so messed up, that you feel guilty and it's hard to talk to them.

You must have did the nasty with someone. You deserve what you get

[Jaximus-Lion]

Is it necessary? Yes it is.

because I would feel less guilty? No.

It's necessary because that is what it takes to have a secure relationship and it's communication which is the key to a successful relationship. It has nothing to do with guilt, not in my relationship. I want/need to be secure and relaxed to give my all

If you lied all the time I would assume the guilt would be overwhelming if you are a good person. Being open and honest is always a good thing as long as it doesn't come off like complaining all the time.

No way. There was a question asked once about what our SO does that drives us crazy. I said It's the way he stirs his coffee. It makes me climb the walls, but it's so petty (on my part). I'd never pick on him with such ridiculous junk just to make myself feel better.

Preach it sister!

Thank you for the MHO ❤

No. If it brings no value to the relationship and might hurt them.

It's okay to keep it to yourself.

But also helping your mental health is also a good reason to share it.

Honesty is very complicated

[SnowedIn]

No. Not if you're going to cause pain, damage the relationship, or not solve something. If it's just unburdening yourself, find another way.

[TrueConfection]

Agreed!

[SnowedIn]

Thank you!

Always be open & honest with your partner about everything. All relationships are built on trust & if you're not 100% open & honest then that's not much of a relationship. If your partner leaves you because you were 100% honest then that is their problem, not yours.

[NathanDavis]

I will be open and honest out of love, trust and commitment...

not because I feel guilty nor implying that I would do something that wrong to them...

[exitseven]

I try to always be honest but sometimes the names are changed to protect the innocent (me).

[Jhunitor]

I never lie and I expect the same. I say "I don't want to talk about it" or "I don't want to tell you".

Some things are best left unsaid.

Honesty is the best policy
