Are there any questions you don't really want to know the answer to?

Most of the time transparency, open communication, and free exchange of information seem like good ideas. But I can imagine situations in which I would kind of rather be kept in the dark—for instance, if bob_ thinks I’m fat, I think he should just keep that information to himself.
Or, I have heard of this arrangement in situations that involve, as the biologists say, extra-pair copulations—that some couples have a “don’t ask, don’t tell” arrangement and they would just rather not know the truth.
What do you think? Are there circumstances in which you’d rather just not know the truth? Or do you think honesty is always the best policy?
