If you’re one of those who think it’s okay to tell a lie and live a lie while in a relationship, then this piece is for you.
These 6 things truly define partners who feel comfortable with telling a lie:
1. YOU AREN’T READY TO HAVE A GOOD RELATIONSHIP
Nothing kills a relationship more than lies and deceit. Once you bring these two into your relationship, you’ll definitely kill the trust that should exist, and once trust is broken, the relationship will go downhill from there onwards.
2. IF YOU CAN LIE, THEN YOU CAN DO OTHER THINGS
Lying is a trait used to cover an action; lies don’t just come on its own. So if you’re telling your partner lies, it’s because you are doing other things that your partner isn’t and wouldn’t be proud of.
3. YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF TRUST AND HONESTY
If you don’t deem it worthy to tell your partner the truth and feel it’s safe enough to tell lies, then it’s a clear sign you don’t know the importance of trust and honesty.
4. LIES ARE A SIGN OF DISRESPECT
Believe it or not, lies are a sign of disrespect. When you deny your partner of knowing the truth, you have disrespected that person without knowing it.
5. YOU DON’T CARE ABOUT YOUR PARTNER’S EMOTIONS
It feels okay when you are the lying partner, but try turning the table around and you’d see how it really hurts.
The truth you are withholding might hurt for a while, but a lie hurts for a far longer time. You might think that the truth will hurt, but the lies will hurt more.
6. YOU’RE IRRESPONSIBLE
The hard truth is that if you are a lying partner then you are an irresponsible partner. If that act was bad enough to make you lie about it then you shouldn’t have done it in the first place.
The worst thing about being lied to is knowing that you weren’t worth the truth.
