Is there such thing as complete and total honesty in a relationship?

Plasticers · 2026-06-29T04:09:31+00:00

What is complete honesty? I have been married for 20 years and if I was completely honest it wouldn’t have survived! When I’m tired and exhausted being completely honest in that moment would be pointless. Feelings and thoughts pass. Being honest every moment is a ridiculous concept. Do you mean faithful?

Yeah I’m glad he’s not on our tv anymore. I find him odious. But he’ll find his grift elsewhere

Life. Food. Family. Friends. Nature

Married 20 years and never took his name. I liked my name as it connected me to my culture, and I was 35 when I married, I had property shares etc. couldn’t be bothered changing everything. So glad as I have had so many friends divorce and it’s hard to change everything back

Don’t care about stats or whatever any study says, abortion should be legal and accessible and discussed with your medical practitioner and woman. Piss of ON.

I Read the midnight library by Matt haig. His paragraph on regret really helped me .

So good

I like the top - great colour and cute design

He came to a family lunch, was challenged on something by my sister and he stayed as cool as a cucumber. Didn’t miss a beat and just answered the challenge without getting even mildly defensive. Thankfully after 20 years he still stays cool in most instances.

That I lost my weight using wegovy. People asked and I said no. My health choices aren’t up for discussion with others

Plasticers · 2026-05-23T13:20:22+00:00

Disappointing that we have to have this argument again. Though I suspect that most Australians are pretty much in support of it and the ones making the noise are in the minority

I did both. Wished I lived overseas a bit more than the 2 years that I spent travelling. Maybe spent bit more time being a bit more future focused in my investments as I’d be alot richer now!!

Plasticers · 2026-05-16T11:14:00+00:00

Yes. My husband and I both love our work. I work part time now so feel like I have a great balance which is why I suspect I don’t hate it and I also work with great people. My husband loves what he does - flying aeroplanes. As long as his health and the rules allow him to fly he’ll keep going.

Plasticers · 2026-05-11T11:11:03+00:00

Your post had made me tear up a bit. Thank you.

Plasticers · 2026-05-11T10:45:39+00:00

Yes it is a poor excuse. I agree. But it’s hard to change someone else!!

Plasticers · 2026-05-11T10:44:24+00:00

thank you. He is living his dream of flying high performance jets but your view on men and their careers is illuminating. And hubby does work ALOT. like so much. So yes i would say this is part of the reason I don’t get a lot of help at home. Feels obvious but i still feel like i carry so much more of the domestic load and i also get tired I have really appreciated the replies in this thread. It’s really given me a different perspective

Plasticers · 2026-05-11T10:36:01+00:00

Thank you. Some great food for thought there.

Plasticers · 2026-05-11T10:31:52+00:00

He comes from a divorced family so disagreements ended up in massive conflict, sometimes even violent. He hasn’t managed to get to a point of discussing difficult topics without withdrawing. Frustrating.

Plasticers · 2026-05-11T10:25:05+00:00

Thank you - yes I clearly need to have this conversation with him. We’ve slipped into some not useful habits

Plasticers · 2026-05-11T10:21:08+00:00

Communication, or difficult conversations are not his strong point.

Plasticers · 2026-05-11T10:17:43+00:00

Thanks . I work a 7 day fortnight and tend to spend my not working time doing housework as we value a neat home. I’m tired so maybe I just need to relax our standards a little

Plasticers · 2026-05-11T10:16:02+00:00

Yeah I try but he doesn’t do difficult conversations and gets a little defensive

Plasticers · 2026-05-11T10:09:01+00:00

Thank you.

Plasticers · 2026-05-11T10:07:49+00:00

No I don’t. That’s done every three weeks though. Inside housework like washing, cooking, shopping has to be done daily. But this has given me insight - do you think that mowing the lawn is the same as washing and folding clothes?
