Is there a time limit in relationships for complete honesty?

Question

when do you know if you've crossed the timeline?

Answer 1

Everyone lies, so no way.

The timeline is death.

Answer 2

Why would there be a time limit?

Answer 3

everybody lies, and it would be hypocritical to say we dont lie coz we do. there should be a time limit for honesty, what we need is conscience and how much our conscience can take. if you are lying too much that you no longer know yourself or you are being lied to tremendously that you no longer know where to stand in the relationship, its time to raise the white flag and leave.

Answer 4

It depends what you feel you need to be honest about.  Most things come out rather quickly.  But, if there is something serious, rape, for example then there is a time and place to discuss this.  It won't be the first thing you tell a prospective lover or mate but before the first time you decide to have s*x you need to talk about it.  If you are one who has chosen to delay s*x until marriage then as soon you accept the proposal you need to discuss it before wedding plans are being made even before you tell your parents.  Other things like money and child care may be things you discuss when marriage is in the air.  

If you don't like fish and your first date is at a Long John Slivers the time to be honest is right away.

I'm not sure there is time for complete honesty.  If your hiding your significant other's christmas present and he asks what you are doing are you going to tell the truth?

But bills, s*x, religious beliefs, should all come out in time.

Answer 5

I think honesty should always exist in a relationship .. but - there are some things that are private and could be some things that a person just does not want to tell.

Answer 6

Yes... you never lie, but you don't want to begin a relationship with all your cards on the table... give it a little while... a month or two before you pour on the crazy!

Answer 7

No.

There is no time limit because a true relationship is infinite in its duration.

Answer 8

Yes! Right away. If you find out they have lied that's your time line.(Kicked to the curb!) ♥
