I fully endorse this product and or service.

Really.

While I've never been into 'radical honesty', I'm far more likely to tell the truth than most people. This of course makes me an asshole at times, but I've learned to not care all that much.

The only person I'm truly radically honest with is my wife which is why we have perhaps the strongest marriage I know of. It started the first month we met and has continued since.

That first month had one of the hallmark holidays in it and I knew she was expecting something from her new boyfriend for this made up holiday. Well I got her some candy and when I gave it to her I told her something like 'I got this because I knew you were expecting something for this made up holiday but its the last time.'

I kept that promise and never have done anything for any of the Hallmark holidays, nor has she for me. Likewise when she did the first 'does this make me look fat?' question, I told her yes because it did. She did the expected stereotypical girlfriend thing but when I explained that, unlike her friends, I was the only one who was going to be honest about it, she came to her senses and now when she askes me how this or that looks she knows when I say it looks good it does.

Then years later when she WAS getting fat, I told her that too. I know this is the horror of horrors to some women out there, but fuck it, if you are fat you are fat. I've know at least one marriage that was bjorked because the husband couldn't tell his wife he was no longer attracted to her phyically and I'll be damned if I can't tell the truth to my wife.

Now the wife has become a gym rat, and while my telling her she got fat had little to do with it, real exercise motivation comes from within, shes comfortable with my assessments. Just so you don't think this is a one way mean Mr. Ustwo, she does the same for me, and when my love handles get to big, she lets me know.

Personally I'd love a day where everyone were forced to be radically honest, some people really need it. If you don't know you have a problem, and no one has the guts to tell you, how do you know to change?
