How will you handle a situation that you need to be honest to someone you love and does limitations exist in this matter?

Ever since childhood, I've said that the Golden Rule should be, "Do unto others as they would have you do unto them," for that very reason (although I didn't know I had asperger's back then, but I knew that I often wanted things very different from what I observed others seeming to want.) As an adult, I would modify it to, "so long as you are not harming yourself in the process, do unto others as they would have you do unto them."

I think you REALLY need to know and trust the person you are sharing EVERYTHING with and even then you may or may not want to share it ALL. After all, there are situations when the things you share are later used against you in an argument or in some other hurtful way. We must be honest with ourselves but also not say too much sometimes.

..being honest most especially to the one you love is very important for me because I believe that when you are honest, then you can gain the trust and confidence of the one you love.. It is when you become honest to each other that you are able to understand each other's situation.. For me, there is no limitation regarding honesty.. Maybe, it is in confiding everything to your love one that has a limitations.. Because I believe that there are things which we don't need to confide to our partners most especially if it would just ruin the relationship.. Or if the thing has nothing to do with the relationship..
