Should one be 100% honest...

Should one be 100 % honest in a relationship with a partner - spouse , boyfriend / girl friend … or is it better to hold back truth or even lie if need be .

One theory is , “lets start a relationship by telling 100 % truth about the past, so that there is no misunderstanding !!”

Another theory is " Too much truth or information( say about the past) can be detrimental to a relationship… therefore its better to tell a WHITE lie or hold back information about the past that can hurt the future !!!"

What do you think?

Depends on your past. And if you're a serial killer.

Re: Should one be 100% honest...

Honesty in relationship not require hundred % truth or expose him/herself, its depend and self decision of a person, he /she has to decide , which part of his/her past good/bad experience /mistakes should be knowledge of his /her partner.
Being a human mistakes are part of our life, If you made any mistake in past and feel sorry of ur mistake, and you think it may affect your current relationship, it’s always batter to hide it.
A very famous Saying ,” if you will hide mistakes of others, Allah will hide your mistake.
