Well, honesty in the big things is important....now, honesty isn't ALWAYS the best policy....sometimes little white lies are called for. For instance, if your best friend says, "isn't my daughter cute?" and you think the child was hit with the ugly stick, you don't SAY so. That's needlessly cruel. There's no point in being needlessly cruel.

But when it comes to major things like faithfulness, I would prefer honesty. It would imply to me that the person is willing to own up to what they did and then we could start talking to find out what to do next.
