Speaking the truth... that's true love.
He's so direct that gives me the freedom to do the same, before i was more thoughtful while saying things but realized he doesn't detects delicacy..
i speak honestly, trying to avoid conflict doing so.
i enjoy pleasing my partner but i don't need to lie for to do it. so i guess i can do both... for example: some times i'm tired but i do not care because i enjoy talking to to him and i tell him i'm tired, but he know that we always can talking few minutes more and i enjoy it.
Wow that's a toughie. I do REALLY care about pleasing my Dear Hubby, but I also know that if I don't speak the truth it can build into resentment. I guess I see if I can change my own perspective or make a choice to see it differently, and if not, then I speak the truth.
speaking the truth.. I know I might make him mad, but it has to be said
That's a super-hard question. I think I care more about pleasing my partner than being right and speaking my mind; I don't want to lie, but I might bite my tongue or bide my time. What I like best, is pleasing my partner BY telling the truth; the two shouldn't be oppositional.
I always speak the truth, if I don't like something i tell her.
Speaking the truth, even if it sometimes sucks. Luckily, I always think she looks pretty.
speaking the truth, because that is pleasing.
I try tbh but I don't like upsetting her.
I wouldn't say i'm a liar though.
I wouldn't say i'm a liar though.
To tell the truth and please at the same time, by being tactful in what I say..
Pleasing my partner until I can't take it then I speak the truth...
Speaking the truth as diplomatically as possible if it is not pleasing enough
I speak the truth no matter how hurtful it may be.
