What does half the truth plus half the truth equals?

The term 'half the truth' or 'half-truth' refers to a statement that is in fact 'part-of-the-truth', so that we may never reach THE WHOLE TRUTH. Dr. Alfred Whitehead, a noted physicist and philosopher stated, 'there is not such thing as whole truths, they are all 'half-truths', treating them as whole truths plays the devil..." The Truth is not as simple as we often say it is. There are many truths we do not know, see or hear, or that we can never know.

Some women are honest, while others are not so be very careful about 'I'm going to be completely honest with you.' She may tell you the truth; a half truth; or she may lie. She could have done anything from cheat on you to perhaps falling out of love with you and she wants to breakup, or, she may feels she has a past she would like to discuss with you and start your relationship with honesty. You will just have to wait until she sees you and discusses what she intends on being honest about.Essentially, it means "I may or may not be about to tell you the truth, but I want you to think I am telling you the truth." In other words, it's effectively meaningless. Ignore this particular phrase and focus on the rest of the conversation.
