Hi friend,
Faith on each other is very critical in any relationship. If you start telling lies then the faith which is very importnat in relationship, will be lost when truth will reveel itself, and thr relation ship will be ruined. And remember truth will always reveal itself, if not today then tomorrow.

When it comes to kids and Santa Claus, or the Easter Bunny, I still stick to the truth. When my children asked if Santa was real, I never said he was or wasn't. Instead, I turned it around, "I don't know, what do you think?" I wasn't lying, and they made the assumption he was real because they find presants under the tree. : )

what abouty telling a child Santa Claus or the Easter bunny is coming? I think we all tell little lies, whether it's to spare someones feelings or making lame excusses for our own short-comings....

I won't lie, period. I don't like to be lied to and I believe that what you put into this life will come back to you, so everyone knows- don't ask unless you want the honest truth. That's just how I am. I don't tell half truths, to me that's the same as lying, and I NEVER make excuses. I'm human and I mess up sometimes, it happens, and when it does, I accept whatever the trickle down effect is because of my own mistakes.

That's a very strong stance, so your saying if your partner was to make you special dinner one night and it turned out horrible would you lie when they ask you what you think?

Nope, I would laugh as I told them the truth and if it were really going to be upsetting I would remind him of something aweful that I made.

When I and my husband was still dating, we often argue about me telling white lies because I don't want to argue on things that is not worth arguable. Before believe that as long as you are loyal to your partner its okay to tell lies to avoid arguments, but I realized being honest in all things makes the relationship stronger. Because it will gain trust to both of you especially when you are in a long distance relationship.

Yes, as much as possible, I want to be honest with my partner in life. Telling white lies just to save the relationship is not advisable, although in every rule, there is an exception. But remember, if you have succeeded in telling white lies, you never when the truth will re-surface again. So, try your best avoiding telling white lies. Honesty is the best policy.

Good advise...if you live in never-never land! (Joking) we all want to be honest people because we hope people are being honest with us right? Lying is a part of human nature and a little white lie isn't a deal-breaker.

well, making white lies wasn't that kid of an evil thing but it's like lesser evil or simply bad. But I guess making lies out of your partner is not a good thing. Well, I think that those bad, playboys and inborn liars were the ones who really need to use it to save their relationship. I don't like lying at all because I don't want to experience the time that I'm the one being lied at.

To be honest i dont think u should lie as a relationship is built on trust and trust is built on honesty and then look at it in a different view if ur partner/husband told u something that wasn't true and later u found out how would that make u feel as the truth always comes out in the end but on the other hand if u feel u need to lie to ur other half then maybe u should think about changing ur relationship
