The Honesty Policy is for Rookies

This is for all the people in the world who like boring the shit out of me with this "honesty policy" talk.

The Honesty Policy: The idea that you can be 100% honest with the person you're in a relationship with.

#KNOWBETTER V.I.P QUOTE: “Practically all the relationships I know are based on a foundation of lies and mutually accepted delusion.” Samantha Jones

The Honesty Policy is part of the collective literature they pass around at the weekly ROOKIE meetings about what a relationship "should" be. It's passed along with the other ones: The 3 month rule, The "you CAN turn a hoe into a housewife/husband" testimonials, I love the real you despite bad sex and/or disease... and all that other bullshit. It's cute because no matter how many meetings they go to, they seriously think the honesty policy is a true and working system.

#knowbetters who only attend one annual meeting where we touch bases, implement new laws, and move on are sincerely trying to help Rookies all over the world understand a few things this year. We can't guarantee it'll take though, you rookies sure can be stubborn.

Rookies, if you cheat - don't ever ever ever confess to your lover about it unless you are ready for the relationship to end. I understand Rookie, you feel Guilty. It's a big burden to bear, but I can't help wondering what you think is going to happen when you confess to someone that you cheated?

Listen to your instinct Rookie.
Only one or maybe even both of the following will occur:
1. You will never be forgiven - so you'll break up.
2. You will forever be punished if you stay together.

And No, you will never be trusted again.

You have to understand that when you tell people you cheated, it's exactly like asking to break up. People who confess up don't get this. They think some Fairy God Mother of The Honestly Policy will wave a wand over the cheatee and they will be touched by the fact that YOU told them, and YOU included the fact that it was killing you that's why you confessed. You think they'll take that into consideration as they remember the day you left them hanging to fuck someone else. You think they'll care that you feel terrible now when they imagine you doing your sex tricks on someone else huh? cute.

One day you will find out that there's a relationship in "Theory" and a relationship in "Actuality"... When thinking about the way you "Want" things and the way they "Are", mind the gap.
