When you ask for the TRUTH be prepared or don’t ask…
When someone asks you a question and you can’t find it in your heart to tell them the truth, just say, “I don’t want to talk about it right now, this does not mean the answer to your question is a YES or NO, I just need time to think about how to respond to you.”
“I don’t want to lie neither do I want to hurt you so please respect that.”
The truth hurts and sometimes it may cause you to lose friends and/or damage relationships beyond repair but it is far better to be truthful considering lies hurt far more than the truth when things are finally revealed.
Betrayal does something to your soul when you gave a person your trust. The truth may hurt but you will be respected once they get their emotions in check.
For those who can’t accept the truth then that’s their problem if they prefer a liar instead.

i personally want the truth. it is like that moment when you have to rip a bandaid off you skin – hurts like hell, but then the initial pain begins to reside. In this case the pain does take longer to reside, but it will in time. it is worse when he says nothing – at all – then finally, but is still not clear.
