Is honestyalways necessary for a healthy relationship, or can some lies actually protect the people we love?

This week on The Untanglement, we unpack the complex role honesty plays in romantic, platonic, and even family relationships. From white lies to intentional omissions, we explore whether full transparency builds trust — or sometimes damages it.

Our listeners sent in voice notes sharing personal stories about betrayal, protection, boundaries, and emotional safety. Their perspectives reveal how complicated “telling the truth” can be in real life.

In this episode, we explore:

•      The psychology behind lying in relationships

•      White lies vs destructive lies

•      Emotional intelligence and communication

•      Trust, vulnerability, and boundaries

If you've ever struggled with whether to tell the full truth or protect someone’s feelings, this conversation is for you.

Follow The Untanglement and subscribe to stay updated with weekly relationship conversations designed to help you grow, reflect, and connect.
