Honesty may not be easy at times, but for him, it's essential

 A true man is honest, and he does not hide anything. No matter what is asked of him, he will not hide the truth. 

A man knows that if a person is honest with you, then trust will begin to build. 

A man knows that honesty is always the best policy, especially when it's hard to be honest.

He respects you and himself when he's 100% honest. 

He understands that trust is gained through being a real person and not a front.

 Though the truth hurts at times, he feels it's better than the comforting lie.

In return, honesty creates a bond where two feel free to be themselves. No guessing, no doubts-only trust. 

This makes a man in reality: someone who doesn't fear the truth and values the relationship enough to keep it real. 

Honesty may not be easy at times, but for him, it's essential. He knows that trust grows when two people feel seen and respected for who they really are.
