Hello folks, how’s your Sunday going? Welcome to another edition of Elcrema Sunday Love Special, an interactive segment where we discuss about regular things bothering about relationships; as you all know, you should feel free to chip in what you think; we all can learn.<\/p>\n
Today’s topic is ‘can you tell a lie to save your relationship?’ This is a normal scenario that happens in most relationships; a little white lie just to keep the relationship going or even a major one that you would never want your partner to know of.<\/p>\n
Drama and I (Shawn) would be going heads on to reveal our mind on this one. I know you have your opinion on this topic but click below to read what Drama has to say.<\/b><\/p>\n

Hello everyone, I am thrilled to be here again with you and my man Shawn as we discuss yet another important topic.<\/p>\n
The general belief among people is that lying is wrong, and there should be no excuse for lying, but you look at the people who uphold this belief the most, and you see that they themselves have had to tell a lie at some point in their lives, and they did have a good excuse to back it up. I agree that lying is wrong…but only when there is no genuine reason for doing so—for instance, if your brother commits a crime known to you, and would be killed upon your testimony, would you testify against him or would you tell a lie to save him? We can relate this to the love relationship thing between two people. If you do something wrong, and feel that telling your partner the truth about it would do more harm than good, then it’s better you conceal it, and save the relationship the trouble because the likelihood is that someone will definitely be offended by the truth. What is important is making sure you avoid a repeat of the crime or offense that brought you to the point of having to choose between telling the truth and lying. Personally, I’d rather you lie to me than tell me the truth about certain things, like cheating, for example, as long as I never have to catch you in the act. Even if somehow, the truth eventually comes out in the future, it wouldn’t hurt the relationship as much as it would if it had come out earlier because it happened long ago and they’d believe you’re a changed person.<\/p>\n
I know that someone reading this would think I’m twisted, but think about it. How many times has the truth really saved a relationship from falling apart?— Instead, it wrecks it. If you cheat on your partner, and tell him\/her the truth, they’ll definitely be disappointed, and that disappointment will lead to them avoiding you, which will lead to other things till eventually, the relationship is over.\u00a0 That’s why it’s better to tell a lie and save both yourself and your relationship from falling. There’s also the trauma which the knowledge of your offense can cause your partner. I think in all, it’s safer to keep certain truths concealed if need be. Of course, this is not to in any way, encourage utter dishonesty or untruthfulness in your relationships per se, all I’m saying is as a mature person, sometimes you need to use your discretion to do what you feel is right for both your relationship and your partner, even if to the neutral person, your actions may seem wrong…because sometimes, right is wrong and wrong is right.<\/p>\n

I’m sorry to disappoint you; a lie would never help your relationship, no matter what you think. You may think I’m being too overly righteous and judgmental but that’s the truth.<\/p>\n
It all starts with a little lie and then there just might be another little lie to cover the previous and yet another one; and it keeps going on and on till you have told quite a number of lies.<\/p>\n
No relationship can stand on the foundation of lies. Whether you like it or not a lie means betrayal. Relationships should be built on trust and honesty; when a little lie comes in between that trust and honesty, so many other evils would as well follow and the lie you told could probably be the thing that would destroy your relationship and you wouldn’t even know.<\/p>\n
Let me ask a little practical question, what if your partner you told a lie to finds out the truth later on? How do you hold your head after that? How do gain back that trust after that? The fact you told a simple lie today doesn’t mean the truth may not come out tomorrow. If you can tell a lie to your partner, you can as well do so many other things; it always starts with a little lie. Nothing should be too big to tell your partner; if you feel it’s too big then it’s best to avoid the act that would lead you to tell a lie. By the way, how would you feel if your partner told you a lie? You would feel hurt and betrayed; do unto your partner what you want your partner to do to you; that\u2019s the essential to every successful relationship.<\/p>\n
