it is prefarable to know the truth cus and such can make the reationship to be stable

N O !

There is noting as hurtful as guy telling is girlfriend this; BOY: u know I love u. GIRL: really? Tell me more? BOY: I don't think our relationship can last till this moment if not because of the SEX with do have. GIRL: what? So u only love me because of sex? Oh my god! So so so ( the boy cut in ). BOY: no oooooo, I don't mean that oooo, I'm just addicted to sex

Its OK to tell WHITE LIES....BLACK LIES are bad!!!!

[size=14pt]Depends on timing and Delivery. if presented well the truth will not Hurt.. it requires skill and tact to handle sensitive relationship issues.
Most times we just say things the way they appear in our minds, no careful consideration of how to tell the truth.. therefore it leads to hurt. it maybe there fore easier and better not to say the truth if you know you can't present at well enough at the point in time..[/size]

its not compulsory to talk ,sometimes just keep quiet and smile cause not all truth is useful and truth with intent to hurt is as good as a lie

In all things use common sense.

You wont tell your partner you were eyeing another woman lustfully

Not really but somtimes it does,so the betta tin 2 do is just 2 lock up and not say anytin

Truth can hurt relationship.I once told a truth that ended my relationship.tot I was doing the right thing abeg my ppl now I know better. Tell some n keep some.

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..

The secret of every successful relationship is lies and deny.....Omo ara aye ko fe otito, Olorun oba ko fero. You should have no reason to tell lies to each other if you both fear God(I mean GOD, the creator of all creature)

bia mods take time

Bros no offense. Are you addicted to criminology?

Mr Aboki: Depends on who you are in the relationship with..

Simple!

Some people want to be lied to...
Some people wanna be told the truth... Sometimes
Some people wanna hear the truth always... Even if it will hurt.

Treat each person according to their preference...

I don't tell the truth,and I don't lie either,#They can't see me coming#

Telling the truth will hurt the relationship..the best thing to do is stop whatever u did...or ur doing that can affect the relationship. Because the truth always hurt no matter what... Best thing keep quiet and make amendments whatsoever

I like to say things the way I see them, I don't know if I should call that the truth, but what I get in return is ' u no Sabi talk' especially from ladies, I guess I shouldn't expect less from a society where the 'truth' is widely considered the enemy!

Am having the problem now with my babe

Somethings are better left alone #my thought though#

HELLO IN NIGERIA GIRLS AND LIES ARE BOUND TOGETHER.................

YOU CANT JUST HELP IT.......... [/size]

some times keeping mute is the best tin to do.

Very clear and somewhat concise write up which when followed can be a blessing to relationships.

In most cases, it does, but it is the best medicine.
Truth is like bitter medicine that heals the wounds.
The sooner you know or tell the truth the better.
But you need wisdom to address those who cannot bear the truth.
Only immature and insecure people are always scared of the truth.

D best tin eva in a relatnship 'TRUTH'

U LIED 2 KIP RELATNSHIP HEALTHY

When I was in the university, my gf had an affair with another guy and told me the truth. I was so logical to forgive and accept her back but the moment I had an affair with my fellow corper member and told was the day my relationship with her crashed. Saying the truth doesn't hinder anything rather everything depends on individual and Ĥ♥̸̨W̶̲̥̅̊ to handle the shock that goes with the truth.

mascot87: Let us not deceive ourselves,80-100% truthfulness will crash a relationship.We have to tell some lies so as to keep the relationship interesting & happy.Ọmọ,if you tell the truth always in a relationship,it will always be full of sadness,disappointments,fights and finally breakup.Some lies are meant to spice up relationships men.But HD lies breakup a relationship very fast

Really you don't need to lie to save your face in a relationship but choose a comical way to tell the truth. I have done it so many times.

If it likes, let it kill d person. As long as its d truth, always say it! Truth pays u knww, n only d truth can stand d test of time!!!

[size=64pt]Yes! Yes ! Yes![/size]

Trust is the glue that gums a relationship together and it begins to melt apart immediately lies come in-between.
Don't allow a repetition of NSCDC drama to happen in your relationship. It's more noble to admit to your faults than trying to be clever - even when You've been caught.
Be wise.

Yes-No.
