I'm all for the truth always, stating it without remorse for whose ox is gored.

However, being discreet in how often and how direct the truth is told to whomever you're in a relationship with goes a long way in making that relationship productive.

Depending on who you're rolling with, there are ways to state the cold truth without hurting anyone's esteem.

of course Yes. Lies keeps you going... But telling lies is bad anyway, the truth is bitter, you have to lie in order to spew sweet things.

If telling the truth will spoil a relationship, why not avoid those things that could make you lie.

Nobody has the right to tell the truth except it is spoken in love. If the truth hurts another person, it is not spoken in love and it id wickedness.

The bible admonished us to speak the truth in love.

Am healthy relationship is not based on lie how long will you based ur relationship with lies somethings d truth pay always telling the truth make ur partner truth u
Re: Telling The Truth: Can It Hurt Relationships? by mecussey(m): 9:09am On Nov 16, 2013
Funny enough, but lies shows respect. Telling the truth bluntly, shows no regard. Truth goes with righteousness, every truth must be positive.
Re: Telling The Truth: Can It Hurt Relationships? by Rejoice5000(f): 1:26pm On Nov 16, 2013
Its good to tell the truth in the other words to let ur partner know ur past, ad who u really are.but my advice don't try it when the relationship is still young.when the love or what u feel for eachother is not stable.when u do u are heading to HEARTBREAK COS THERE'S NO LOVE YET.
Re: Telling The Truth: Can It Hurt Relationships? by Lolaabokoku(f): 4:26pm On Nov 16, 2013
Mr Aboki: Its a really tricky question...


Somethings are best left buried deep down. #Fact!

However, some buried secrets do have a crazy way of resurfacing..



My advice:: I always advice that people tell the truth and darn the consequences.. When you bury the truth, all you have done is postponed a problem that you could have dealt with today.

Now!! Imagine a Man/woman who goes to his/her wife/husband and confesses infidelity... Its bad!! True.
So.. Imagine the Man/woman discovers the infidelity of a partner on his/her own.. This is definitely worse.

Reason being that the former carries an element of regret/remorse, the other doesnt.




NOW!! The down side to tellin the truth is that some partners would forever use it as a weapon against their other half.. Thats where the real problem lies.


SO OP!! There is no yes or no answer.. Just a right and wrong! Right being tell the truth..
That's true... †ђξ
Real fact!!!!!

Truth can save or destroy you.
Lie can also save or destroy you.

Both have equal Advantages and Disadvantages.

I'll choose one only because it represents Positivity and that is the Truth.

..wonder y girls always say dis.
There Is NO middle ground with d truth. .either that or u lie.
U may feel u r helping/saving d person getting hurt, but eventually u end up wit d person worse off.
Tact is wat d emphasis shld be on.
Except ur partner doesnt want t know
