Would you always want to know the truth?

not always, sometimes I even hate the truth, but truth is the truth and you can not change it.

Yes, I would always want to know the truth even if it hurts. If my hubby ever fooled around with another woman I would definitly want to know. I think this is the lowest a man can go, cheating, and I wouldn't want to be with a man that did it because it would mean I don't mean very much to him. Not enough anyways, that he wouldn't have the respect for me that I insist on, no cheating. I would never cheat on my hubby because that would be nasty and I have too much respect for him and myself. The truth always comes out sooner or later, so no sense trying to hide it.

The truth is essential to have trust in a partner, there is no other way, if your partner cheated on you, he could bring home all sorts of diseases, and problems of course I would always want to know the truth, the same as I need to breath to stay alive

I think i would always want to know the truth no matter how it hurts. I don't want to be kept in the dark and i don't want also to live a lie. As they say, the truth will set you free but its up to us on what to do with that truth.

Although in general I would prefer to know the truth sometimes it is really painful to have that truth. ANd sometimes specially when some time passed knowing the truth will not add anything to one's happiness. Regardless people - me included - tend to prefer to have it - the truth- over not having it at all. In the case you describe I am a bit divided. At first thought I think I would still want to know the truth. But thinking again, I"m not really sure. WOuld it make any difference at this time? Would it change any of what happened? WOuld I be in a better place by knowing? Probably not. I would like to know right at the time it was happening but if it happened a long time ago, I"m not sure if it would be something that important to know.

well, it is hard to say.the first thing i would say is that i always want to know the truth even if it would hurt me.coz i am not going to live in a world full with falsities.on the other hand i ,however,think it would not be a good way to force somebody tell the past story of him or her.that is just belong to themselves.not asking the stories is to show ur respect to them.what i care is what they are doing now,even though the truth is acceptable uneasily.

yes i would want to know, as I believe not being told the truth is being made a fool of, to me truth is everything. And most thing get found out somehow anyway so best you know from the start i think, just my way of thinking though.

truth is always the truth, it hurt same what you mention,but we cannot do anyhting so much better to know the truth arlier than to know it in the last moment.

I would always want to know the truth. No matter how much it hurt. I need to know what is really going on in my partners life, so that I can decide how to handle it. If it were just my boyfriend. I would probably decide that he was not the right one for me. If he is cheating before we get married, what will stop him from cheating after we get married? His commitment should be to God first and if he can not commit to God, how can he ever commit to me? If he is my husband, it will hurt me very deeply inside. We will have to have a serious talk and possibly go to therapy to work out whatever problems we are having. I do not believe in divorce, so I would do my best to forgive him and work things out.

Using your example of a cheating spouse, yes I would..Some diseases don't show up for many years, including AIDs, so yeah, I would definitely want to know.. It could affect not only myself, but if we had children too, we would all have to get tested for STD's..

Hi berryliciousme, Yes, I believe that I would want to know.It would get things out in the open, especially if a few years had passed. Blessings.

No, I don't want to know this kind of truth that is no longer a truth. It would be ridiculous and denigrating to argue with somebody for something that it's over. Especially that we can't change anything about it. So, forgive, forget or forsake, but don't question somebody about their mistakes.

I think honesty is more important than anything else. My son's dad was cheating on me...if he had told me the truth, i could have forgiven him. but since he lied to me about it, I couldn't get past that.

I would want to know. If the guy is cheating...or woman I guess it doesn't matter, That means they are not happy. I would not want to Live or be in a relationship with someone who was not happy to be in that relationship. I would end the relationship. I would feel hurt but i would not want to stay with that person for the simple fact that The person is not happy they should not be with that person.

sometimes its not always good to know the truth.

Yes ofcourse i want the truth,only but the truth. even its hurt i will accept.if he did that way i can respect him only to tell me the truth and thats the truth we set us relationship free. and im free from all problems hehehe...Im lucky i found out then i know to handle next.happy posting!

I know that the truth is relavent to all my relatives..if they still want me to support them in the future they better lie their butt off in front of me or i will kick them to the curb..i already fired over 75 % of my wife family and 100% of my family except my wife...and he is the el President for Life..like Marcos or Amin or even Hitler..she is number one..always

ignorance is bliss..when my father passed away..some people would come up to me and tell me the dumbest stuff about my father..i knew he was not a saint but this was too much information for me..but i just smiled and said .."OK" but if i heard my wife doing something behind my back i would be much surpriseed as she has always been open an frank with me..but anything is possible in human nature..but i would not care one way or the other as we all have our own conscience to live with.. i know what i did in the past..and when people would question me about if i did this or that..i just smile and say something about i must have done this when i wa in a black out..and let it drop..my cousin told the most silly stories about me..but i never told his nephew the difference..that is not my style..believe what you want..as you will anyway no matter what i say.. so we are all going to know the truth when we die anyway..that is my belief..but i know we will then have the understanding to deal with the truth...as all truth is relative....amen

Though I know if I know the truth, I will feel terrible and lose the trust to someone, I still will want to know it. For that can help me to make right and resonble dicision. Sometimes truth tells me that life is not so perfect, and people are not so good to me. But truth can tell me what they do, why they do it and what is the most important things to them. So that I can change myself to meet the world, and make most of us can live in a confortable environment. Everyone has his/her own benefit, what they do to protect his/her goods is can be accept, so that I can feel that they are not too hard to deal with, and be friend with them.

some doors are better kept closed, something are better kept unravelled. the truth sometimes hurt; how would u want to know that ur said father aint ur dad...how are u sure he is...wat if ur uncle is ur dad? wat if ur grandfather is ur dad...i av a friend who discovered his grand father is also his dad...his mother's dad slept with his daughter. stop wanting to know the truth..live the life and die thats it
