Why You Should Tell A Black Woman The Truth
When men keep secrets from their women, their actions usually differ from the norm, which gives their women a feeling that something is wrong. In this situation, as the natural nurtures that they are, women’s first urge is to find out what’s wrong in order to try and fix it. Afraid that their woman will find out their secret, men usually withdraw even further when they are asked “What’s wrong?” ...
When a man harbor secrets, such as affairs, issues of trust usually arise. They start to wonder if their woman is also guilty of infidelities. They may become extremely jealous and begin to question their partner’s whereabouts or the friendships they maintain with the opposite s*x. If you're in an established relationship and have decided to move on, or if you've dropped the ball somewhere along the line and truly want to atone for your actions, you should be truthful as soon as possible...
"A woman can handle almost anything if you tell her the truth about it," she [Iyanla Vanzant] says. "But if you lie to her, you will undermine her faith in herself, and ultimately her trust in you. Tell her the truth. Let her work it out. You can damage love and love will repair; but once you damage trust, you've got a rough road to walk"... Most women want honesty, even if it hurts. Remember honesty is the foundation of a good relationship. A lie needs support, but the truth stands alone.
