Can You Handle the Truth????
Time and time again we want people to be honest with us, we want them to keep it 100! Take a minute and think about all the things that come along with this honesty… How is it going to affect you after they’ve let you have it? Will it change your opinion of them as a person? Will this truth ultimately change the Dynamic of your relationship with this person? These are only a few questions you should ask yourself before you demand to hear the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help you God! In terms of starting, exploring, and building relationships how honest and up front should you be? Does your answer change as the relationship progresses or is it the same no matter what? Do you think it’s best to lay it all out there in the beginning or is it better to keep some mystery and not divulge everything at once? It’s that time again….SPEAK ON IT!!!!

Ok I’m going to give my opinion 1st! I’m all about being upfront and honest and there is nothing I despise more than a Liar! With this being said I have realized that if you aren’t ready to acknowledge how the truth will affect the right now then it may be better off to wait to hear it. I guess with me it all comes down to the situation. In the beginning of a relationship I believe honesty is key but I don’t think full disclosure is a must that early in the game. As time progresses and the relationship grows I believe more things can be divulged. But for the record I do think honesty is the best policy! Tell me the truth and allow me the opportunity to decide what I’ll do with it!

I agree that there are some things that you just don’t talk about in the beginning. There is no need to spill your guts about everything under the sun…it’s great to leave a little mystery, but not lie! I believe that after a certain point there are things you just should know. But most of all, it depends on the type of person you are. Don’t ask questions you don’t want to answer. And don’t tell your secrets and think that the person you’re dating is supposed to do the same. Expecting for your partner to be as open with you at first may not be the best practice. Others struggle with how much to in the beginning as well. Communication is key though. Honesty is the best policy, but so is boldness. If there is something you wanna know, then ask…just beware of the answer you may get in return. You know what they say…”when you ASSUME you make an ASS out of U and ME! lol!

We all say we want the truth, but I can personally testify that it’s not always easy to take and it doesn’t necessarily sit well on the stomach. But what medicine does right? My current partner challenges me to be a more honest and open individual by way of being that himself. I’ve never had a relationship that was built on so much honesty. Being open and naked in front of someone and having them do the same can feel a bit uneasy in the beginning. But I can say that honesty only builds transparency in the relationship, which in turn, creates a closeness and trust that’s fundamental for success. But then also I think having real honesty shows you if you really need to be with this person and vice versa. And sometimes you may discover that the relationship isn’t in either of your best interests, and you both can move on to someone or something more fitting for yourselves. Either way you can’t lose. “Honesty is the best policy”.
