My lessons: 1) Trust is one of the basic requirements of any relationship. 2) Transparency plays an important role when it comes to trust. 3) All kinds of relationships need a certain level of transparency. 4) When it comes to being transparent, think from the other person's point of view. If its important to them then its important to you as well. Remember to share that information. 5) Don't neglect to communicate small things. If you neglect, you might come across as someone who is not transparent and emotionally distant.
