Depends on the circumstances....you need to be up front with your partner in terms of your likes and dislikes, what you're uncomfortable doing, and so on; or you're partner's going to end up doing things with the best of intentions that are going to keep p!ssing you off to no end (ordering red wine when it gives you a headache, buying you a perfume you can't stand the smell of, etc.)....
But if you've done something immoral or stupid, and you're looking to confess to your partner to relieve your own feelings of guilt at his expense, then you need to ask yourself: "Will the relationship be made better or worse by my 'honesty'?" And if the answer is "worse" then you need to buck up, keep your mouth shut, and use those feelings to keep reminding yourself "Never again"....

Yes , i think honesty is the best policy because it will keep the relationship in good health and will be long-lasting relation. Trust, believe all these things are necessary to keep the relation. In this type of policy both the
the girl and boy will support each other ,when no one is there to help.

i think that honesty and trust is the number one thing in a realtionship. Also commmunicating with them is good to . I didnt communicate with my ex or give him much honesty and trust so we aint together now more and it really hurts. so remember to communicate with them and tell them the truth.

Yes, I do the truth may hurt sometimes but being as honest as you can is better for you and the other person in the long run.....the truth comes out in the end anyway

You better believe it. But the first person to be honest with is yourself.
To do that, you must be realistic with who you are-weaknesses and strengths. Be realistic in your surroundings and your goals. And you must see things for what they are, not it's potential (potential is what you do with it, not what you expect it to do).
Once in place, you can measure up (not judge) what benefits (spiritual and mental) are in a relationship that's right for you, Sorry I have to make it sound like it's like going for a job interview, but the investment that you make in a relationship has to be worth it in the long term for both.
Remember: Start with YOURSELF.

being honest and open is the best way to go. no one likes to be misled. remember sex is not a foundation for true happiness.
if sex is the only attraction, one should not lead the other to believe that it is any more than just that. if one feels the need to lie about one thing then they will lie about any thing. no one likes to be used, and it will destroy the relationship

If you want to help a relationship grow then YES be honest. If you are breaking it off and you know the truth will crush him, then spare his feelings.

Yes. If you are keeping secrets then it can erode the relationship from the stress of having to keep lying.
