She says:When I was younger I lied about stupid little things....mostly for acceptance, to dodge being grounded, etc. Even in relationships I remember telling half truths to keep the peace. But I had an epiphany in my mid-20s where I vowed to never lie again! Or at least die trying. Since then, I've been pretty truthful even if it means potentially hurting someone. I read in a book somewhere that "it's better to get hurt by the truth than comforted with a lie". Compelling statement, right??
So lies and relationships.... What compels a man to lie? Especially when it comes to another woman? I mean, I know we get a little crazy when another woman is mentioned, but why lie about it? For example, the jerk I was dating. He told me for some unknown reason that he was going to dump the other girl he was dating...no pressure from me. In fact, in some weird sadistic way I was used to the arrangement. Yeah, I'm lame and weird.....I know I'm not the only one though!! So he tells me he's dumping her. He apparently dumps her but a few weeks later I find out that he lied to me. WTF?? His excuse? She came back a few days later sad and depressed....boo hoo...so his guilt took her back. He claimed he didn't have ANY feelings for her. So what was the point here? I didn't pressure him to break up with her, he offered that one all by himself, then lied about it. Is he STOOPID??
A word of advice to men....there are bright women out there who KNOW when you're lying!! We've been blessed with a simple tool called "intuition". We all have it, now whether we choose to ignore it is another story but we eventually snap into reality. So you think you're slick and you think your chick believes every word that's coming out of your mouth? Well, guess again!!
