personally, I'd want honesty .... when I get an honest reaction ... even if it isn't what I want to hear ... I react very nicely .... everyone is entitled to feel the way they feel .... but if I'm lied to then I can be hurt by learning the truth down the road and although I'm still very passive in my reaction ... I won't like either of us very much for a time ... and I probably won't ever like you again. Honesty hurts briefly .... lies hurt longer - at least that's my opinion!
