I tend to think before I react! Then no ones feelings get hurt with things you do not mean. When I do speak I do say how I feel and can be pretty blunt and straight forward. I hold back nothing!

You know, there's a time and place for everything. At times, you'll no doubt have to be careful about what you speak, considering the pros and cons of what the consequences can be of your words. But there also arises some situations when the harsh truth needs to be uttered, otherwise you yourself will suffer later for not saying it at the correct time. Your pent-up emotions need to be released and I feel that is what your hubby does, he lets it all out, relieves himself of the emotional burden. That's not advisable at all times, but playing on the defensive everytime can also be damaging. You yourself have to be the judge of your words.

I am just like you. I think before I speak. I have been the victim of people who says that they just say what comes to mind and I think that shows lack of self control and can be down right mean. I don't like hurting people's feelings. I would rather keep something to myself before I do that.

Hi there! For me I think we should think first what to say to a person so as to avoid hurting other's feelings. It should also avoid misunderstandings in conversations that sometimes might lead to a fight.
But being straight forward isn't bad also especially in cases where one really needs to express their emotions and when they feel that it is important to let the other person know the truth or to send reality check in certain cases.
Ciao!

I think you should be straight forward and true to people who are very close to you. You should give your sincere opinion to your loved ones. But to succeed in the world one has to be a little diplomatic with other people. Hence one has to strike a balance.Have a great day. Keep smiling.
