this is the problem most people who are inexperienced in dating run into, they suck at communication

they make the wrong assumption that "telling my partner something my partner doesn't like = my partner will hate me and will break up with me, so I better lie or keep it secret", and then sooner or later their partner catches them on their lies, finds their behavior inconsistent, and breaks up with them while calling them a lying bitch

or alternatively they think "my partner told me something I don't like, wow it means we're actually not compatible, guess it's over" and break up over dumb shit

whereas people who are more experienced in dating know that your partner is not going to be an absolute clone of yourself, that the reason you got together to begin with is because you happened to have enough similarities that it is fun to be together, and that the more time you spend with another human being the more you'll be exposed to their negative aspects, but that's fine and doesn't change the fact that they have positive aspects you like, so if they tell you something you don't like it's not a deal breaker, and you're allowed (and should!) tell them everything about you, so that they know what to expect, and you don't end up pissing off each other constantly by doing stuff the other person doesn't like without being aware of it
