As Stated by Oscar Wilde, "A little sincerity is a dangerous thing, and a great deal of it is absolutely Fatal". In relationship to this theory, lovers would often lie to each other to avoid issues, which is common to couples since some issues are not dealt with right away. Ignorance can be very blissful. No one could stand to hear everything and deception is required since it allows people to share lives with each other without having to discuss difficult issues. Do you think a little Deception is required in all relationships? Or do you think the Truth will set you free? What's you're take in this Theory?

Truth also hurts. That's why a lot of people would prefer not to ask, or not to know about anything at all. Some would even search ways to escape the reality. But it wouldn't also be unfair not to know the truth. The truth always sets you free. Everyone just has to accept that reality will bite. I guess it would also depend on everyone's manner of telling the truth. In times of confrontation, a high toned voice and intonation wouldn't help at all. It's better to remain calm rather than be outrageous. Relationships require a lot of patience, when one speaks about the truth, one would react to it. And sometimes our reactions would mostly be indifferent. In all types of relationships, I believe that there's always a silver lining on what type of truth should one person know. You just have to think of the other person too, if he/she deserves to know and if it's better to let the other person know as well. Would it help build the relationship and the person? It all depends you.. I hope this helps. ;)

I see your point. "our conscience eats us up at the end of the day". However, I would forever cling to the phrase, "what you don't know, won't hurt you". In the end it is really up to you if you'll tell the truth or not. Thanks.

That's correct. The decision really depends on you. Somehow it depends on your manner of putting up things into place so they won't get too disarranged. Well, best of luck then! ;)

Truth might hurt but so are lies. I think one should be honest always.

That is very much true. In the end, we would need to find the person who can handle both and love us enough to forgive our mistakes.

I am with Oscar Wilde on this one, I think there are things that should not be brought up now, or ever in life if you want a healthy relationship. You have to know what your partner can, and can't handle! Sometimes telling them that you used to go out with their best friend might be good, but in others it could be absolutely fatal to the relationship and friendship.

I agree, though I'm a very tactless person, I should know what my partner is capable of dealing with. This is probably the reason why most relationships fail. Some people just can't keep their mouth shut. I for one. LOL
