Honesty, lying only rubs salt in the wound
Combo. I do it continuously.
I have learned that lies are like cheap vodka in a pretty bottle....looks great, price is right but ultimately it justs crap. I'll pay the price with honesty sometimes, but ts better in the long run. To keep myself from being tempted to lie, I try to do my best to not put myself in a situation I would feel the need to lie about. Problemo solved
The truth
I struggle with this. Although I prefer the truth, not everyone wants to hear it. Sometimes, I think people find me too blunt and sometimes I just don't want to hurt someone,, so I'm trying to balance truthfulness & sensitivity. I'm usually pretty honest with him, but it sometimes takes me awhile to get to it.
I have to answer both. Sometimes I dont want to create an arguement and go with the flow, other times I'm a little rudely honest.
Pleasing my Partner...i hate making decisions,so i feel if i let her make em well be happy
Speaking the truth. For instance when I told her that I moved across the country with her for the wrong reasons.
Making him happy I speak the truth regardless
They're both. I'm so lucky to have someone who really does value the truth more highly than a pretty lie. It is SO amazing to be able to say true things and not be afraid.
A bit of both. I like to compromise, but I'm not going to compromise who I am
A bit of both, I love to please my partner but I will speak the truth!
Both i try to please her all the time and tell the truth

Pleasing my partner...not always easy to do...precisely why I change my mind a lot :o)
If its a nothing thing that won't matter then I would rather her be happy. If its important than its the truth
I never have to lie to him so it doesnt hurt him
