I've read over the responses so far to my question:
how HONEST are you willing to be in a relationship, particularly
if you feel that being too honest might threaten the relationship
itself?

I feel like the responses have somewhat missed the mark.  My question
was not intended to be a theoretical question about the merits of
honesty in a relationship -- I'm assuming that honesty, in most cases,
is positive.  (I hope most people agree with this assumption.)

The question was intended as a specific concrete question to each of 
you:  when it really comes down to it, how much are Y-O-U really
willing to go with honesty even if it is threatening to the 
relationship?  Theoretically it may be real nice to be honest,
but sometimes that's not exactly the easiest path to travel and
really may be quite a struggle to do.  I'm very interested in
hearing about peoples' struggles with this.
