how honest are you with your partner?

The foundation of my marriage is trust and respect so my husband and I couldn't have that if we weren't honest with each other. He knows how I feel about certain things and I know how he feels so we don't cross each other's boundaries. If my husband wanted to do something that I objected to, I would be honest with him about my feelings and vice versa. What we won't do, in the honesty department, is to embarass each other in front of other people. If we disagree, we'll discuss it in private.

I share almost everything with my partner. I can safely say I am honest enough to tell him what he need to know and keep to myself what he needs not know. lol.

I am always honest with him, always. Why lie? We love and respect each other si why would I jeopardize what we have with a lie?

i'm pretty honest. it's so hard for me to lie so as much as i can, i don't. in any relationship i've ever had, i'd be very open in telling my bf (for example) about other suitors bothering me at work even knowing i already have a bf. if i'm going out with a group or travel to far-flung areas, i'd tell him who i'm going out with, who i'm meeting, where i'll be going and for how long. since i keep notes, it's easy to recall those stuff. if he asked about the gifts i receive (flowers, stuff toys, mementos etc.), i don't try to hide the fact even if it came from a male friend. i can't hide my emotions too so if he asks me how i am that day or what are my thoughts and feelings about some stuff or incident, i'm quite straightforward in saying whether i'm excited, happy, disappointed, angry or even frustrated. my friends and family often tell me i'm so transparent that it's so easy to read my moods and when my mood changes. when we were going on a rocky stage i turned to my ex-bf for some relationship advise. i needed someone to talk with. and i was still friends and very close to my ex-bf at the time. after that rocky period, i told my bf about my talk with an ex-bf and how he had helped me thru and gave me advise. when i went to bali last year for two full weeks, i came into contact with a guy i had a crush on before. since it was a seminar and there were only about 3-4 filipinos at the seminar, of course we have bonded and almost together for 16-18 hours a day, staying at the same hotel, have our meals together and some of our course topics too are the same, strolled on the beach as a group and even on the bali tour we sat alongside each other on the car/van. should my bf ask an account of what happened during that two weeks, word per word, i could do that. he even knew i had a crush on this guy because i met him years ago in the philippines... about 2-3 years before i met him again in bali, indonesia. but he also knows that for whatever it's worth, a crush is just a crush, nothing else is involved except for a certain admiration. if someone asks me to lie, he'd be very disappointed because i can't. i'd rather not say anything than to tell a lie. i can't even bluff during a poker game. so they already know if i have a good deal when i said so. -lol-

In any relationship with people there are some subjects it's best not to bring up, you are not being dishonest you are just not introduction that particular subject into your relationship because it will do nothing but bring pain to another. I can tell that my husband doesn't want to hear about any of my other boyfriends so I never refer to them. I don't mind him telling me about his girlfriends so he tells me. But unless I ask a direct question he never gives me details. It kind of don't ask don't tell on painful subjects. Just make sure that one of these avoided subject doesn't come up and bite you later on. Be wise in how you conduct your relationship and use your common sense. When my husband knew he was going to be caught with another woman he told me and didn't let me hear it from someone else. Of course i threw him out of the house. But given time we worked it out, I'm not sure I could have if I had learned from someone else first. Good Luck

I believe being honest to your partner is very necessary if you are sincere to your partner and the relationship between the two of you. I mostly share my everything honestly with my partner and he does the same. Sometimes when he don't understand a few of my problems that gets me worried coz than I don't know if it;s better to share or to hide the situation you are in.

My wife and I have a pact to be 100% honest with each other. Sometimes this is not easy, but we usually end up telling the truth anyway. As a therapist, I can see how this makes for a strong relationship, and trust is one of the strongest aspects in any relationship because each partner knows exactly where he/she stands. - Derek

My girl friend & I are completely honest with each other, to the point where we've been told we were nuts... There's nothing I don't tell my girl friend, at least on purpose... There are things I just forget at times... There was one time when me & a buddy of mine went out for a drink & we ended up talking to this group of girls... They were sitting next to us & buddy of mine just struck a conversation with them & we all ended up talking to each other the whole time we were there... Towards the end of the night, one of the girl hands me a small piece of paper with her phone number so I called my girl friend & said, "Hon..!! I'm little drunk & this girl handed me her phone number... I'm not in any condition to remember phone numbers let alone names..." And I started reading off this girl's name & her phone number... My girl friend told me not to be so weird & take her number politely... Don't get me wrong... My girl friend & I aren't involved in group thing or anything... My girl friend trusts me enough that if I won't ever cheat on her... If I'm to look outside of our relationship, I will have enough respect of my current relationship with her to break it off first... She has made it clear to me as well, that she will not ever to look out side of our relationship & if she ever has the need to, she'll break our relationship off first... I think that's only fair...

honest no absolutely in relationship i think.we are human it is hard to be honest always.just try to be honest and be good each other.

well,generally I would not like to be a liar or to cheat someone,but sometimes i have to make some white lies because i want to keep them unworried or unbothered or because i just want to keep a safe privacy for myself. i think it is natural and normal for a human .

So honest I can tell him about everything that's happening to me, all my plans or decisions, about my past, everything! I guess when you've got nothing to hide you won't have any problem initiating a conversation or a story or even answering all his questions. I believe I deserve same amount of respect and honesty from him.

I am honest with my partner even he is away working, I always texted him where I'd go or what I did for that day. I want him to be honest with me too. He also texted me whenever he wants to go out with his co-workers.

Being honest is something that needs to be present in a relationship. If you cannot be honest with the person it only means you dont respect the person that much. We all at some point have something we dont want to say but we all have to exercise being honest at all times so that we in return will have our significant other honest to us as well.

i am one of the person that really support a honesty. it's really need in this life because if we honest to someone, they will honest with you. i am not always honest to my partner because i see what person the are firstly. if they are not a nice person and they like to cheat people maybe i little bit nicely to him/her.
