When is honesty the best policy?

I think honesty is the best policy when you are in a relationship because in order to keep a relationship long and happy you must tell the truth about everything. For instance if you suspect your spouse is cheating then you ask them and if they lie about it then it will eventually will catch up with them in the future. Also I think honesty is the best policy when your applying for a job, and your filling out a application you should have nothing to hide. And if you lie about something and you get the job and if they do a background check on you and find a lie most likely you will be fired immediately.One last example, honesty is the best policy when you are in trouble and your parents confront you about the situation its always best to tell your parents the truth even though you may not like the consequences. But in the future if your parents think you did somethiing but you didn't and you tell them that they will beleive you cause you told the truth in the past.
