Obviously honesty hurts a man. I don’t think I can be 100% honest

Generally people won't cooperate with you when they find out you lied to them. You don't need to lie when you don't do anything people close to you will despise. Especially in relation to them, some small lies about who ate my cookie or drank my strawberry milk will be forgives without repercussion but when you cheat or steal money it's over with benevolence.

No. A lie is like a sickness that will eat away at the foundation of a relationship. It's OK to state something diplomatically rather than harshly, but that's it.

Well, there's honesty doing the right thing and there's honesty for the sake of honesty... If what I'm honest about can't bring any good for my girl, then what my honesty achieves is just about me, me honouring my taste for honesty, at her expense

I think you have to be honest but maybe try to spin the truth so it doesn't hurt your partner unduly.

My aim on GAG is to decode relationship drama and make love a little less confusing and a lot more fun 😏

Brutal honesty can feel like emotional sandpaper. You don’t need to lie, but you do need tact. Think soft honesty, not blunt-force truth. White lies about surprises? Fine. Lies to avoid accountability, cheating, or red flags? Relationship poison.

Be honest, but filter: timing, tone, and kindness matter as much as the truth.

100% honest, i have been like this since childhood, no one doubts my decisions and everyone believes me blindly, even my haters believes me

[Sickworld]

You think it’s ok if your girl friend to tell you that she is watching porno on the phone while you are at work and she tells you what she did with an escort customer

[TonyMetal___1986]

Nope it's not okay, i thank her for her honest than i tell her to vanish from my face!

[Sickworld]

So you don’t like the honesty

[TonyMetal___1986]

Ofc i like the honesty but i don't like such actions, it means this woman doesn't really loves me...

[Sickworld]

You cannot be honestly flirt with other women in front of your wife either

[TonyMetal___1986]

Ofc not, if i was married i won't flirt with women, not in front of her and not behind her back, plus i don't flirt with women even when i'm single...

[Sickworld]

Men lie too. They say they love but they don’t they want to marry a woman with rich family. You never say that to your wife bullshit

[TonyMetal___1986]

They and they, idc about they, i'm speaking about myself, if you don't believe me than it's your problem, it's not like i won't sleep tonight if you don't believe me 😂

[Sickworld]

I heard of that so many time and saw men complaining about it in front of me. Your action can't lie

[TonyMetal___1986]

Right, but where did you see my action? 🤔

[exitseven]

its sad but true. Some things are better left alone.

[Sickworld]

Yes men get hurt so bad

[Sickworld]

Honesty is not working 😢

[jahaims]

The opposite. Never lying is necessary to keep a relationship healthy.

[DarKnight36]

Anyone who lies to me gets out the door.

[Anonymous]

No. It creates a faulty foundation.

[MasterKS]

You can't. be diplomatic.

[Sickworld]

Telling everything honestly ruined my relationship
