Being open and honest with your partner is silly. Just lie and protect them from the ugly truths in life, tell them what they want to hear and let them be happy. Ignorance is bliss.

Someone’s been caught cheating before.
You know what fuck it. After my last relationship – upvote
Unpopular opinion, yes. Common practice? Also yes.
Lol, this is a terrible opinion. Have an upvote
Really depends on what it is. If it’s something that’s going to grow into a problem it’s best to deal with it early. If it’s just typical work or life bullshit, just say your day was fine and set that shit aside. If it’s easier to forget it, do that.
I feel sad for you. I have told my partner everything and I mean everything. The good, the bad, the ugly. And vice versa. The bond we share in having actually seen each other fully is the most comforting thing because despite it…we still choose each other everyday. Legit best friends.
Travis Hunter’s wife, is that you?
This is actually a good advice, but you need to be careful how you use it. No upvote for you sir.
Definitely an unpopular opinion.
Also piss-poor advice.
Or is it – Bliss is ignorance?
This isn’t unpopular it’s bad advice
*check subreddit*
Well done.
Firstly, this isnt unpopular. There is a reason for the well known quote you put in your subject. Secondly, you are missing the point entirely. No one disagrees that it is blissful to be unaware of things that will upset you, but regardless of how hard it is to hear, the truth is ultimately more important than the bliss.
Give me the reason why the mind’s a terrible thing to waste
“Understanding is cruel,” the monkey said as it launched to space
I know that I’m gonna be your dangerous side effect
Ignorance is bliss until they take your bliss away
Tell me you’re a cheater without telling me you’re a cheater
Those are lovely bumper stickers, OP, but what ‘ugly truths’ in particular are you talking about? Because in healthy relationships, people talk about the hard stuff as well as what’s on TV. Not all the hard stuff. Not the inconsequential stuff. The little white stuff. But when something is important to one or both of you, a grown up has a conversation.
To an extent, and topic dependant. The longer you hold onto it, the worse it’s gonna feel if and when you/others get enlightened. Also, being disingenuous is just bad for the soul and hurts your ability to connect to life and humanity IMO.
Let me translate this post:
If everyone lied, no one would have to be held accountable or have integrity!
You wouldn’t have to have hard conversations or harsh truths that can help you grow as a person!
Deceive the people closest to you so you can avoid all consequences in life!
So blissful to be a narcissist.
What you don’t know can’t hurt you.
Wise words from the thrice divorced.
In my field we say : ignorance is bliss until the world is on fire, then ignorance is just ignorance
Unpopular opinion and will end relationships fast but okay, upvote for you
Yeah and when you eventually tell the truth it’ll come out in a flurry of emotions and mess the whole thing up. But upvote anyways
Ever relationship i get in makes me think this is probably right, a little more than I did before.
Depends on what the thing being discussed is. If you’re talking about things like whether you like your partner’s new hat, sure. If it’s about, say, whether you want kids or not, you need to have an open discussion even if it’s uncomfortable.
I hope you’re okay OP
So what are you trying to hide?
For many things, yes. Being considerate of your partner’s feelings is a must. Humans have fragile psyche. They can’t handle the truth.
I’m jotnsating you need to be honest to such a fldegree that life revolves around what is essentially a never-ending list of nitpicking, but as a firm general rule, inconvenient truths are better than pleasant delusions any day of the week
Ignorance is bliss is more like not knowing that only one type of plastic can be recycled while all the rest gets put into the landfill. Or not knowing that there are methane deposits melting out of the ice caps creating a positive feedback loop that no human can ever hope to stop. Stuff like that. Ignorance is bliss
Some things are better be untold
Absolutely an unpopular opinion. If you can’t love me at my worst you do not deserve me at my best. I feel sad for those who aren’t able to have tough conversations with their partners. Every tough conversation I have had with my partner has brought us closer together and to a better understanding. We haven’t had many, but the ones we had have been enormously helpful to our personal discovery and to make our relationship stronger.
Wanna date? Then i can fuck your friends and just keep it secret and that’s all good with you
Are you my ex?
I don’t think that it’s an unpopular opinion because people clearly choose to live their life this way I just think it’s obviously a very faux part negative way to live that people keep it a secret. Nobody likes a liar and a secret keeper. Nobody wants to be in a relationship with somebody who behaves this way so people just don’t talk about it, but it happens all the time.
It’s definitely unpopular in my world though. If you wanna do whatever you wanna do and be whoever you wanna be despite what anybody else thinks then don’t be in a relationship. Being dishonest about who you are or how you feel or what you’re up to because you know I’ve heard the other person is despicable and if the other person would be that unhappy with you, then you guys shouldn’t be together that’s my thoughts on it.
It depends on what lie you’re telling them, most of the time you probably shouldn’t be lying to your partner
that’s too much work for me, I’d rather be honest
This is a highly manipulative mindset to have. Seek help
So, what just happened in your live life?
This is giving off real dick stuck in a tube vibes
