How to be honest with your girlfriend

Why is honesty so important with a girlfriend? Its because they're so skeptical and suspicious about men, that if you make the wrong move, you are a burned potato in her eyes.
What does that mean?
It means you're basically not a qualified man to her and you can say goodbye to the relationship.
Now that you understand why its important, lets talk about how you do it.
Tell her everything, no lies or hiding things. I would even honestly tell her about your past relationships, how much money you earn, how high your salary is, where you live and who lives with you - parents, brothers, sisters, etc. How many friends you have and whether you finished college/high school or not.
I remember when I didnt tell my girlfriend something related to my education, she was like "why didnt you tell me?". Well, as it makes sense, I was like "but you never asked about it". And THEN, she was like this - "YOU SHOULD HAVE TOLD ME ANYWAYS. I DONT NEED TO ASK."
That surprised me a little bit, that she expected me to tell her things she never asked about, and calling it "honesty".
But, thats honesty in a girl's eyes and thats what to be expected from a man.

 

need more context about what was actually said to pass judgement . i bet there's another side of the coin

 

The only other side of the coin probably was, as I understand it - that she had simply failed to be clear about her intentions and what she wanted to know about me. Do I seriously need to guess what my girlfriend wants to know?

@Don voted for yes WTF?

 

I have to tell my bbygirl the truth, man..

 

No matter it is girlfriend or boyfriend, any parties in a relationship should be honest to each other. SMH

 

nid to find one first to be honest to one another

 

"Does this dress make me look fat?"

Yeah, that's when you don't be honest. Honesty is the best policy, but sometimes being truthfully honest will bite you back.

 

I would rather suggest telling her that it makes her look fat. Because if she is not fat, but something makes her look fat, then you help her with that feedback to choose a better style. If she is fat and is unhappy with it, she should not abuse you cause of her weak character anyway.

 

Disagree entirely. I rather somebody be honest than delude me. Sometimes that outfit does make you look fat, or skinny, or looks like shit, or makes you look like a hoe. If you really only ask questions like that with the mindset that you’ll only be happy hearing a positive response that’s your own fault and not that of the person telling you the truth. If anything it shows extreme immaturity—good luck dating anybody like that long term.

 

Sometimes your SO wants white lie. As strange as this may sound but sometimes they love hearing lies instead of the truth.

 

You are a player , respect

 

Sounds like a mature, stable, and mentally healthy individual to me.....not. Expecting somebody to lie to you and taking offense when they do not is not normal or reasonable at all.

A "HEY BILLY DOES THIS MONKEY COSTUME MAKE ME LOOK LIKE A FLOWER?"

B "UH NO IT MAKES YOU LOOK LIKE A FUCKING MONKEY"

A "UR SUPPOSED TO LIE TO ME WHAT THE FUCK BILLY WAHHH!!!"

Like what in the actual fuck am I reading...you're supposed to lie to to your partner..and it's reasonable to expect your partner to lie to you when you ask them something? No no and no

 

If you actually think this is not reality then you must be living in utopia lol.

 

Maybe in your foreign land. This is anything but sane and normal behavior.

Edit: I think you’re misunderstanding. I’m not saying nutcases like that don’t exist, I’m saying that they’re not to be used as a standard as their expectations are utterly insane, unrealistic, and likely indicative of underlying mental health issues. It it not at all reasonable or healthy to expect your partner to lie to you, and especially not for you to lash out should they not do so.
