I have been told I am 'brutally honest'. I tell it how it is.

I tell the truth in all instances except a rare few when the truth would hurt someone else more than it could help anything else. Sometimes the balance just weights more to saving a person pain than getting the weight of the truth off your shoulders. Your question doesn't hint to what this may be in regard to but a hypothetical situation....let's say you cheated on your bf or husband. I think it would be best to break up, allowing him to move on without having to live with the long lasting hurt that knowledge of infidelity would cause.

I feel some things are better left unsaid, otherwise we can say things that can hurt someone's feelings just to be cruel and use being honest as an excuse. For example, if my love one had bad breath, I would gently tell him the truth rather than for him going around with the embarressment of having bad breath. But if he didn't look his best for lack of sleep, then I would not tell him he did not look good. Some truths have not bearing on telling if nothing comes from it but to only hurt someone else's feelings.

Honesty and trust are the most important concepts in a relationship. Sometimes you have to tell someone the truth, even if it hurts them. It could be better in the long run. Honestly, I am an honest person...and I would be honest no matter what.

I am pretty honest, and yes, I will tell the truth even if it hurts my closest friends. I'll even tell the truth if I stand to face the possibility that I will be hurt as well...

it is always best to tell the truth rather than wait and let it make a huge mess later on and the more hurt the person you love becomes when he/she finds out you knew all along about it.

I am what everyone calls brutally honest, I try to not hurt peoples feelings on purpose but I will not lie to anyone about anything.
If this person is important to you and you are important to them then they should understand when you are honest with them, even if it means hurting them.
