Well put, Stephen. My wife and I often debate the matter. Our test is: to what end will this truths telling lead? Needless pain or contention? Is it to satisfy our anxieties or for an enriching improvement? More often than not there is no need to say anything. Forbearance is a neglected virtue indeed.

Such a tough one. I ran into that conundrum yesterday with the Mrs and opted to speak a truth rather than simmer, cause I my simmering is way worse.
