     I think this is an excellent topic for discussion.  I was first
enlightened to the subject of honesty when I read "LOVE IS LETTING GO
OF FEAR" by G.Jampolski. 

     In direct responce to the topic I must first access how willing
I am to be honest with myself.  In the past I was not 100% honest
with my partner or myself, for fear of loosing the relationship,
being rejected, and feeling lonley when it was over.  After practicing
dishonesty however,  I've discovered that not being honest ended in
similar results. 

     After being involved in 9 or 10 relationships (ranging from 2
months to 2 years) I have found honesty to be the best policy.  I'm
not claiming to have achieved 100% honesty, but attempting to honest
with yourself and your lover will be the best environment in which
a relationship can grow (or disolve) with as little delay as possible.
