I believe it's a fine line. Little things that aren't fundamentally crucial to a relationship I want to please her, but the truth comes first with commitment.
I usually care about pleasing my partner, but if the issue at hand is a crucial matter, I will speak the honest truth, always. She knows I love her and am always looking out for her;)
Pleasing
Speaking the truth but now I know sometimes you have to thread carefully
Neither. The truth is what we want from each other.
My honey may think that I speak a little to much truth, but I do think its important. Choosing your words carefully so that you do both is something I'm trying everyday
I like finding a balance between the two. While I know I may not always say what my honey wants to hear I always want the truth to come from a place of love so she knows that what I'm saying is not to hurt her but to help her/our relationship.
I'm for speaking the truth, like if I disagree with an important decision he makes.
I speak the truth first, & if he doesn't understand or the response he gives is hurtful then I switch to pleasing him instead. Nobody enjoys being belittled or laughed at so I do my best to play it off haha! Straight Pleasing is way easier! 🎲
Speaking the truth does a lot more than pleasing cause a relationship is built on trust
Usually the truth does please my hubby because we usually see things the same but there are times when he needs to hear things from a different perspective and I am not afraid to share that with him. He eventually will "get over it" or take a few days to think about it and realize that he should make an ajustment to help our family. He does the same for me and that is what makes us better people.
I did both because you can't about somebody he deserves the truth. Once a while I tell some white lies
Sometimes both. Not everything that comes to ur mind needs to be said. It's called having tact
speaking the truth- we have learned not doing this only makes each other worse
Doesn't really matter, I can't help but blurt out the truth.
