Sometimes I keep on wondering why people aren't real in life,they tend to behave like movie stars of love ,where everything is perfect.Is it bad to show my weakest side in a relationship.For example, showing a little anger, criticizing my partner greatly etc.what is your take on this?

Criticism can be good if the other learns from it and doesn't get all offended....for instance, your post would be easier to read if you followed the rules for correct punctuation!

The person you should show in a relationship is the person you really are. Not who you pretend to be - or not to be.

If that is really you...then yes.

Don't surprise them with it long into the relationship when they are in love with that fake front you cleverly offered.
You should always be yourself. Be honest.

Why would you NOT be yourself in a relationship?

The longer people are on good behavior in a relationship the better. Bad behavior begets more bad behavior in a realtionship.

This

If you are someone that likes things just so and your SO to act just so, show them that early on. Don't hook them onto a lie or person they think accepts them for who they are at all times, all the while you cringe with their behavior. IMO you would need someone with thick skin who won't take BS because other wise you're sending someone into a world of hurt trying to please you at every turn in hopes that they won't hear your "criticism."

I am exactly the same way offline and online. I can pass a lie detector test for this statement.

I cannot be somebody else even if I try to. I've shown all sides of myself and all my vulnerabilities. If people cannot accept me for me, the real me, well, they are not the match for me. I won't change myself for others. Too tiring.

Space bar. It's the really long button on the bottom of a keybopard. Look into it.

If you're angry, show anger. Keep in mind that the way you show the anger will say a lot about you. It will be worse for you, your partner and the relationship as a whole if you bottle up your anger and then just explode. I also don't know what you mean by "criticizing my partner greatly." That sounds like you mean to go overboard on him or her. What are some examples of this?
