Today I had an exchange with another user that wanted to know if my SO's honesty with me (about my appearance) ever 'hurt' my feelings. The question did make me laugh, but I think it's also a really good question RPWi!
Can your man be honest with you about things without hurting your feelings or causing problems? Are there topics that he either ignores or skims over in an attempt to avoid causing problems? Are you honest with him? Have you ever hurt his feelings by being honest?
Some people think that it's kind to be gentle, or minimize obvious issues. I know that (generally speaking) women will lie to their friends about certain things so as to spare their feelings. One tactic that I have learned is that when a friend shares something they really like, or something that works well for them (but your own personal opinion is either "I don't like that") you can say: "That's perfect for you" or "that really works with your personal style."
Are you honest with friends and family? With your man? Is he honest with you? Have you learned from past experiences?
