How honest, you think, people should be in relationships?

I'm into brutal truth BUT some people can't handle that kind of truth. it would depend on the man. Can he handle it? If something can come back and bite you in the butt later, it's best to just get it out and deal with it. I'm sure your partner would rather hear it from you then someone else.

Personally, the first thing I see when I meet someone isn't their brain, I see their exterior. So when someone gives you a list of all of the things they want their significant other to be and they don't include the physical, they're lying. Everyone wants someone who is attractive but very few people are honest enough to admit it.

Nothing. The relationship should already be enough to do that.\n\nIf you don't believe that the person is commited to the relationship, either talk to the person to correct these insecurities or consider leaving them.\n\nyou'll save yourself a lot of heartache in the end.

People aren't honest because they need to present a good face.  God knows what their marriage is really like or what their spouse would say.\n\nThat's me being cynical, I do know happily married couples though, but I know alot more people who swear their relationships are perfect in one breath and then proceed to complain about their spouse in the next.

Of course. That is healthy. Some, like friendships, can be dropped if not healthy or they've been outgrown. Others, such as marriage, will take work to keep healthy instead of using it as an excuse to fall back into our own selfish habits or to selfishly say that we aren't "in love" and leave.

Honest, faithful, supportive, loving, level headed the list is long. I do think that men should also possess the same, it is not a one way street. Honest - honesty is the best policy, we do not want a relationship where one party just lies to the other, which will lead to the next, being unfaithful. Faithful - do not think I need say anything on this, so difficult for some. Supportive - in any relationship one party may experience difficult periods job, family friends and they may need their partner for just a hug or kind words of encouragement. Loving - Show affection, surprises (lunch at work, nice tex or phone call, chilled bottle of wine etc). Level headed - needs someone to make decisions and give suggestions, in other words have a positive input in issues that affect the family.

No the only way to have a lasting relationship is for both people to be completely open with each other. If their not open it shows lack of trust and their is no relationship unless their is trust.

Live & let live is what I say. Everyone should be allowed to do whatever pleases them with regard to relationships, as long as you are both consenting adults, it's none of anyone else's business!

Honesty is the best policy however sometimes it's needed. This theory could be used in an incident that happened to my friend. Here it goes. She hooked up with a friends ex boyfriend shortly after they broke up. A year later after that guy died in a terrible accident a mutual friend told her that they hooked up. That was something that would have been better left unsaid!

I think communication is really important.  Obviously you don't want to scare anyone off, but its nice to be able to talk and see where both people are at in a relationship.  Depending on the people I think its good to find out what each of you want, without planning anything or making any real committments

Well that is a tough question - if you are serious with someone - no one should come between you. However, just because you are with someone does not mean that you should not have your own friends - actually you should still maintain your own friends because even in a relationship that it rock solid - you need down time or personal time. You still need to be you. However, you should not put them before your man or girl. \nHope that helps

Honest. I try to always be honest and frank with people and this is not always well received.\nI think it is important to be honest with people. When people ask me for my opinion I have learned to say, "Are you sure you really want to know?" Some people admire it and some hate it.

all people lie; but if you really love someone and feel totally comfortable with that person, you will be able to open up and share things with them that you don't with anybody else.  Evaluate your relationship and if you're letting him express himself without there being a sense of rejection or judgement, if you are creating a safe environment for him and he still lies, he probably will always lie to you and trust is a cornerstone of a healthy relationship.

Yes.  I think is cool.  We are all human and find certain things appealing about one another.  As you said, you don't cheat so that would not be an issue.
