Is there a Chinese word or saying equivalent to home truths? (I told her a few home truths)
Is there a Chinese word or saying equivalent to ' home truths' ie: I told her a few home truths and she didn't like it.
Just to be clear home truths is not used in a positive way really. home truths refers to telling someone things about them as a person that they wont like to hear and maybe wont believe or will get cross about.

埋藏在心底的不满、压抑在心里的真实想法、憋在心里的疙瘩、肺腑之言、等等。有很多很多的表达方式。根据语境应用。
I told her a few home truths and she didn't like it.
我把压抑在心里的一些对她的不满（意见/看法/真实想法）告诉了她，她听了很不高兴。

我同意kaly "老生常谈",or "陈词滥调"
by the context , I guess, what you told her was that maybe you have told her for hundred times ,so it sound like a cliche and she was tired of listening to you. is that right?
in that case, I think a Chinese four-word-phrase "老生常谈"/"陈词滥调" will be the best expression for it.
sample :
他的话就是老生常谈，没有点新鲜玩意儿，大家都听烦了。

there might be.
for your example, it could be expressed as '逆耳之言'
there is another saying for this: 忠言逆耳
btw, 'home truth' should be translated into chinese according to the context.
sometimes, it is equivalent to '真理' or '至理' or '铁定的事实'
