Stefan MolyneuxIf there is no honesty, there is no relationship. The only degree to which there is a relationship is the degree to which you are honest. Expressing your clear desires does not make you a dictator and you telling what you think, feel, and what you want or donโt want, is just called being honest. It doesn't control him at all. Youโre trying to control others by withholding information by not getting involved and by not being honest. Withholding information is a form of manipulation. It is dishonest and itโs destructive to a relationship.
