Is it better to lie than break a relation?

I think it depends on the facts involved. Truth they say will set you free, some say that honesty is the best policy. In reality, there are times that the truth is hurting and painful, but when the love is true, real and sincere, that love will prevail.`Hence, true love involves understanding and respect. In other words, why should one keep a secret and lie to the person you love? If that lie will make your relationship break, then the love and understanding is lacking. It is more hurting and painful when you keep the secret and the lie for a long time and known. When you consider telling the secret or that you lied to your better half will make the relationship more stronger because it builds trust. While, when you keep the secret or the lie, it destroys the trust and may lead to break up. The same thing. Telling the truth will or might hurt the other person for a while, but will not last long whereas keeping the secret might lead something worse or even tend to be more hurting and painful when becomes known.

I know what you mean. People say lies ruin a relationship. Obviously you have never been asked the question "Do these pants make my butt look big?" or something along the lines of the same thing. That's when the white lie comes into play for some. Personally I've made a rule to pretend my mouth is full and walk away very quickly.

A lie will destroy a good relationship.Little white lies can even come back to haunt you. i have always been 100% truthful with my man. I can tell you at first I would tell him the truth and I would wait for him to say . " I can't handle this" and leave. but he didn't. He tells me things and says" don't laugh but...." I Never laugh! Why on earth would I lie to him? if the truth is going to be embarrassing, I would pull him aside and tell him as gently as I can.but lie? Never!

A lie is still a lie,if to save a relationship,it is still depend on what kind of lie it is. How can we tell if hiding the truth can save a relationship forever. What if,time will come that the truth will come out,what will be the result? Being honest in a relationship is still the best to save it. Happy Sunday

No Ajay, no lie, no cheating in any kind of relationship, one should be fully transparent. if one hides facts, or lies, it will come out one day, be sure, and at that time every thing will come to stand still.. Thanks for sharing. Welcome always. Cheers. Prof

For me, being honest with one another is still the best way to save a relationship...LYING with your partner can make your relationship worst when the truth was revealed.

As much as possible, I would be transparent with my girl, I don't want to lie with her. I always want to tell her always nothing but the truth. That is also the case with her, she don't want to lie to me and she let me know everything. Being true and and being sincere is one important aspect of our relationship that we keep with us. I have a thinking that if we will be comfortable telling a little lie, later on, we will also be comfortable telling big lies. So for me, we should always tell the truth.
