In order to answer this question I believe it is necessary to clarify the meaning of fair, which according to Merriam-Webster Dictionary it's something "marked by impartiality and honesty: free from self-interest, prejudice, or favoritism". Thus, if what the book is asking is that if I have ever presented a relationship as if there was no sign of favoritism, self-interest or prejudice, even though I knew that it wasn't like that; then yeah, I have done this. The last relationship I was involved in, communication was always the missing piece, and because of that I had a very different way of viewing the relationship than the one the other person had. I would try to ignore all the bad attitudes, disagreements and emptiness, and pretend everything was ok with the simple excuse that it would "get better". This is what usually happens in relationships that aren't fair, all the feelings and emotions that emerge from it sooner or later blind the person, and won't let them see what is really happening.

''It would get better'' is the best excuse people has when they want to hold a person from going away. We pretend that everything is gonna be okay, and we are not honests with ourselves and the other person. At the end, that lack of communication ruins the whole relationship, and that person becomes only someone we used to know.

Exactly, it drove me crazy. The thing is that most of the times, you don't realize about these issues until you have already hurt someone or until you already got hurt, and then it's just too late.
