I'm pretty comfortable when it deals with myself. From the first weekend that we met, she asked me some questions that were very difficult to have to answer honestly. But I knew there was something special about her and I made sure to answer her honestly, even over a couple of things that could have send her running. I'm so glad that she didn't.

Yea I can definitely be honest about myself to you. Actually, the more I've gotten to know you, the more difficult it's been to ask you important things that I may not want the answers to.

Depends but I'm usually a little too honest and I need to change my tactical approach, that way it doesn't put anyone on the defensive.

Usually I try, but some things, you have to say with tact to avoid hurt feelings.

Im always concerned about hurting his feelings or him taking something the wrong way. That being said, I am and always will be honest. It's such a key to a healthy relationship

Sometimes I'm too honest but being honest is good

I have no shame being "brutally honest" with anybody.. I think my husband & friends love me for my "no holds bard" honesty.
