Speaking the truth
Speaking the truth as easier as it is to just tell her what she wants to hear not speaking the truth can bite you in the ass
speaking the truth, it is the only way to please your partner in the long run.
I'm in the center because I love being honest the most but at times I enjoy just letting her have her way even if I don't fully agree with it.
Speaking the truth. I'm not gonna sugar coat anything or lie if its what he wants to hear. But I always give good reasoning behind my honesty. But I do try to please him as much as I can too.

The truth is always best....
At first DEFINITELY pleasing but now I am honest and, while it causes more disagreements, he is happy I am telling him how I feel :)
Both...

The truth... And it should be pleasing to her.
I think that's a bit of a tightrope you have to walk in any relationship. There has to be a balance. I think for several years I've just said what I wanted and was selfish. Lately I've tried to look at what's best for her, me, and our relationship which has caused me to keep my mouth shut more. For the most part it's been good.
I have shared my perspective on the true causes of poverty and the true barriers to overcoming it. He has never, to my knowledge, lived in a gang infested neighborhood or gone without basic medical care or had zero help from family. So, I have tried to gently deepen his understanding of the true barriers to climbing out of poverty. I think it isn't possible to know how hard it really is to get out of true poverty unless you have lived it. I have tried to be honest about this.
Always speak the truth
The truth.. Well after all it's the only thing that sets you free
Both pleasing my partner and speaking the truth, cause if u speak the truth most of the time you will please your partner
Speaking the truth has always been my number rule. I'm grateful Christine and I are on the same page with that.
Both. The truth is important. I enjoy pleasing her though. Though I'm sure this question refers to not telling the truth so that it doesn't hurt her feelings. Tell the truth as often as possible, that way you don't have to remember the story as much. Lol. Openness is beneficial even if it hurts for moment.
Both I please himbecaise I love him i tell him the truth because when to people can not be honest you should not be together.
