Half-truth is it ever ok in a relationship?

I would always like to know the truth even if its bitter and i choose my friends by that way only..i dont chose the people who just lie in front of me and speak bad of me behind and thats the reason that i have only a few as my friends and i really dont bother about that and i think that also stands for my relationship since i dont like anyone to lie to me even if it may sound bitter to me and i think more importantly i need my partner to be true because she is the one who is going to live with me very closely..happy mylotting..

No, it's not ok. Sooner or later, white lies will become a habit and that's not healthy anymore because one lives with trust and the other in deceit. Relationships should have a foundation made up of trust. Full trust. That's the reason why we love someone because we're ready to accept them no matter what or at least we have the strenght to endure something if it's the truth.

It really depends what you're fibbing on in my opinion. If you were to cook something for your other half and they really didn't like it I think it would be forgivable for them to say it was OK. If you had one particular piece of clothing or jewellery that you loved but but the other half hated I think it's alright for them to tell you it looks great. As long as the little white lies stay little and white then they are harmless, and I think almost everyone does it. However I don't agree with the adage 'what people don't know can't hurt them', that just means they'll be doubly hurt when they do find out.

The truth may hurt, but I think it's important to be honest with the people you love. The pain of the truth makes your relationship with that person stronger in the long run, because you're able to bear it together, and support one another. If it were me, I'd wanna hear the truth no matter what.

i dont think so .............. you got to be 99% truthful you can hide anything if it hurts her/him........ but you cant hide it forever you got to tell the truth someday.......

I wish I could speak white lies and listen to complete truths while enjoying complete trust of my girlfriend. Then I would never have a break up and we would live happily for ever.

This is my standing, I would like to enjoy the truth even if it means of hurting my feelings. Once it's said as THE TRUTH, normally I will gain happy ending. I used the word NORMALLY in my second sentence because of two (2) reasons; "Actions Speak Louder Than Words" and "Bend Over Backwards". My conclusion; I'm working towards happiness and not for the other way round, my concise statement. [b]My Quote For Today; "Be good to ourselves and take good from it". [/b]

Little white lies is still a LIE. Well in my opinion theres no such sucessful relationship when theres a lie.For me, why not tell the truth? the truth can set you free remember.It is better that you will be the one t tell the truth to the person that you love rather than someone will tell it for you. It will just get more comlicated when that day comes.Anyway, if you really love the person you dont have to hide something to that person.

Half thruth = Lie I keep it simple.. If the truth will hurt somone then I dont mind lying..According to me if a lie can help someone then it is better to go ahead with the lie.. Make sure that every lie is not for personal gain.. That's what I follow.

Yes. I prefer to hear the truth. Little white lies are not doing any good, and keeping silent to tell the whole truth is an ugly thing to do, I think. Because sooner or later a person will hear the REAL TRUTH from somebody else, and when this person will remember the teller of white lies, the disappointment will be the HUGE one. I know what am I saying. Seriously. :(

Well,the things between a relationship is hard to say,and sometimes the truth means the harm and make things go worse,but everyone wants to know the truth,you don't like yourself to keep in blind about your partner.

Its no way wrong to hide truths while building up a relationship , As it will carry more and more intimacy , As the days pass by you dont have much to be spoken with your partner and in that time he / she will be coming to know about the truth about you which you have hided , it will start with a clash but ends with a kiss , But white lies is accepteble while red lies are not entertained , As there is a saying in our tradition "You can say 1000 lies to get married"
