Seven Things You Should Never Tell Your Man…

July 30th, 2011 - By Rashana A. Hooks

Ladies, I know trust is the number one thing in relationships and that open and honest communication is needed to have a successful and meaningful one. While this may hold true in the overall sense of love and happiness there are times when honesty isn’t always the best practice.

Let’s be real, men cannot handle sticky situations like we do. They are a lot more sensitive than women when it comes to bruising their ego and they often have a difficult time being phony or straight faced when it comes to pretending they don’t know the truth about something or someone. This is why it’s important for you to know what not to tell your man, no matter how much you love him.

Grab a pen and paper and take notes..

    I don’t agree with this me and my fiancee of 3 years have a wonderful relationship based on honesty and we have been going strong ever since and we will continue too because without trust and honesty there won’t be a relationship and of course communication !! Love is not based on lies or to decieve your partner the truth is always the best way to go because lies willl catch up with you no matter how you say it . Now its best to not go tell your friends secrets in the first place to anyone !! A secrect is a secrect and your not being a good friend even if its your man it was told in confidence; Gossip only causes trouble don’t be the root of it because the rath it can cause can sting . Everything else I think honesty is best you can find so much more about a person that way !!

    I hope no ladies are taking this advice. Honesty in a relationship fosters a true bond. If the truth were every to come out from another source, you can forget about having any trust in the relationship and it will probably be domed.

    About #4. Why should I be encouraged to lie to my boyfriend? Shouldn’t I be open with him about things? 

  • Dr. James

    Jesus, who writes this stuff? Honestly, "lie about anything and everything when you need to" is hardly good advice. That includes hiding the truth or mixing truth with lies, too – this is why in Court we must utter "The Truth, the Whole Truth & Nothing But the Truth", so conniving scoundrels won't be able to weasel their way out of being honest. Why not just come out and say that the Biggest Winner in Love will be she who is able to best lie effectively? To be honest, that may be true, but what a sad truth it is.

    1: Out of all the women I've dated, I've only met one that was completely honest about this any way. The rest had good reason to not say why they broke up with their last boyfriend.
    2: If your friend is out sleeping with a bunch of people she is "loose." You can try to justify however you want but facts are facts.
    3: If you don't like a gift your guy gave you, TELL HIM. Unless the gift was deeply personal (he made it) he doesn't want to waste money on something you'll never wear or use. Just be nice breaking it to him you don't like it.
    4: If you already lied keep lying? Wrong. The truth will come out and if he finds out you lied and then kept lying to him it will only compound the breach of trust and he will be even more upset when (not if) the truth comes out.

    Yep, what woman doesn't lie??! I just learned to LIE too!! Men can tell when something isn't adding up!! I've mastered that skill over the years!! Women and Honesty is like oil and water-it just doesn't mix-lol!!

    seriously, what the hell was this author thinking? or what kind of relationship have they held? seems like this is the list of how to break up real quick. I have never been the type of women to take love/relationship advice from articles, sites, magazines, and other people because they all seem to say “beat around the bush” & “coddle your significant other” into this pseudo love that takes too much work to try to pretend it’s real. my husband and I have been married for about six months and been together three years prior; we’re open & honest about EVERYTHING! we appreciate each other for who we are and love the person that has come from the lives we lived before we met. there’s nothing more beautiful than the feeling of complete freedom, having nothing to hide from the one person who you plan to spend the rest of your life.
    I stopped reading at number two because I was about to puke up a really good dinner.
