Speaking the truth.

They are not mutually exclusive.

I struggle with this - I try to speak the truth as often as I can... but there I times when I know that he doesn't want to hear what I have to say... so I'll please my partner so as not to ruffle any feathers. It's not good, I know... but it's compromise.

I like speaking the truth no matter what,

When is not a big deal i just wanna make him happy but if its important issue I think he respects my opinion as long as its respectful and thoughtful.

Because she is so wonderful the truth is always pleasing for her to hear
Male, 41-50 years, Engaged, IA, US • • Comment

It's a little bit of both. I'm not going to viciously lie to him, but I'm also not bent on being right so much that I'm willing to shred his feelings along the way.

Because i am his partner, i should be the most honest person with him when it is a matter of advise. Rather being honest then being facke.

Truth

Definitely speaking the truth. We don't hold things back in our relationship. We would rather be hurt by the truth, than telling a lie and getting caught.
Female, 31-35 years, Engaged, PA, US • • Comment

I don't lie...I learned my lesson about that a long time ago...When something he's doing is upsetting me he usually knows about it before I can even think about telling him though

I think it's a delicate balance of both but truth comes first. Like telling him I really don't like the music he listens to... =/

Speaking the truth keeping my partner in mind and not being hurtful. Not always the easiest thing to do.
