Author	Thread: Honest but messed up!
Admin	Honest but messed up! Posted : 15 Dec, 2011 06:47 AM What can you do when the person you are dating tells you the bitter truth about his/her past? Will you condemn them? Or will you distance yourself from him/her? I asked this question because some people think that "somethings are better not said". This bothers me because i have always thought that honesty and transparency are very important in a relationship. Does any body think the same? Post Reply
PaulC View Profile History	Honest but messed up! Posted : 7 Jan, 2012 05:55 PM I can see that being good practical advice. But it's kind of one of those gray areas, where it depends on the person (I guess). It's always most important to focus on the present. But I am who I am now because of who I was. Right? Post Reply

View Profile History	Honest but messed up! Posted : 27 Apr, 2013 06:12 PM If you love someone you will love who they really are. You are deciding to love all of who they are, including their history. There is no need to apologize for the time when you were no there. Now if you can't agree to receive the good and bad of a person, for whatever reason, that is fine. It is better to be honest, instead of laying down a weak foundation to a relationship. This will only set you up for failure, because it is a conditional kind love with what is comfortable or "good" about that person. I am sure there is more to this statement, so I hope I am able to learn of its origin... The truth can be a great dependable friend that can help heal, liberate, become wiser,teach compassion, and show character. Post Reply
