How does not being totally open with the other affect a relationship? Where should the line be drawn in terms of sharing thoughts or expressions?
Open communication is essential to the success of the relationship. It displays trust and strength between the two of you. However, you have to watch how you phrase your conversation as it may result in hurt, anger etc.

it really depends on your partner. What they can take. and what you want to tell them.

Communication is bery important in any relationship. You should be able to tell each exactly how you feel and the moment you feel it. I have been with my husband for nine years and we have yet to have a screaming match because we always let each other know how we are feeling. If we get to a point that things are getting heated we talk a walk to cool off before we talk anymore. Remember the key to communicating is not yelling or screaming at each other and always keep the line of communication open for each other.

4 years ago I thought my spouse could handle my thoughts and honest feelings
we have argued about that, the fact that she was hurt by my honesty, and the fact that she no longer trusts me now that she knows how I felt at the time during a new experience and temptation
I think there should be boundaries…some things you just don't tell for any reason

Very important and very mistaken if you are a man. Don't tell her that you think about your Corby trouser press quite often and are in favour of war with evil China, for example. There is a middle way.

I have never believe total honesty is good in a relationship. FOr instance, if he's not good at interviewing for a job, are you going to tell him he's no good? Going to share what's wrong with his face? Certain things are personal and shouldn't be spoken. Guidence in above situation is better. If you don't like his sister, and he loves her, are you going to rant on about it? Likewise, I don't think you want to hear it. Honesty in how you feel about him and what you like about him is necessary. We all have a life we cannot share with anyone…it's our very personal and private side, and if forced to share it, we become resentful of the person who is nagging. Where he WAS last night? You have a right to know if it's a live-in relationship. But one must respect another's privacy in some matters. If you spent too much on an outfit, better not to say so. I think the line should be drawn where each person is comfortable with what they are sharing, and if the other person can't live with that, then it's not a working relationship. It's possible to know too much about another person. Relationships, like any friendship, needs breathing room.
