Failing to spare someone's feelings is a small price to pay when they get far more hurt when they discover you lied to them and they can't trust you anymore.
I personally trust someone way more if I know that they won't shoot their mouth off. That's true trust - knowing that someone has your best interests at heart and will not say anything that would put you in a bind, even if it's "true".
