we really hate those people who lie to us. but sometime we lie too make our partner happy. sometimes to give her surprises sometimes to make her smile. sometimes to to stop her from crying. sometimes to hide or cover up her mistakes. see we all lie someday for our partner. so when was the last time u tell a lie to ur partner or for ur partner?

i have done this before, lie to my boyfriend for good.. it was 2005 when i discovered him having a third party, that was really painful for my part, i dont know what wrong have i done to him, then i started avoiding him. i wanted to forget him for that... and that was the time i met a guy who i started to fall in love with. but i did not let this guy notice my special feeling, i wanted him around, i wanna see him everyday to make my day complete. then my boyfriend started begging me to come back, but i said no.. i said no because i love the other guy, i just tell him that i cannot accept what happened to us.. but he doesnt stop begging.. until the time i accept him again, during that time he, was asking for the real reason why dont i accept him earlier.. but i never told him.. not anymore.. it's for the better, right? now we're together, living with happy relationship....

Sometimes we really need to tell a lie for someone to feel good. For example, we don't want our pregnant wife to feel too big or stout that's why we comfort her by saying she's still sexy. In that way, you're making her feel good and confident about her figure. It really depends on the situation. We should know when to be honest though because honesty is vital in a relationship

White lies, we do them all the time. Not only to our partners, but to our familes and friends as well. These are lies we make out of good intentions, so as not to hurt anybody from hearing the truth. But no matter how hard we coat the truth, it still reveals itself in the end, and sometimes, the person whom we lied to gets double the pain when he/she realizes about the deed. Maybe we can do it sometimes, sparingly, but if done on a regular basis it confuses one from what is and what's not.

i will never lie to a person that i love or i close to... so, i never lie to my hubby and he does lie couple of times to me over small things which he had to pay dearly to me now... i didn't trust him completely anymore and he had to build up his trust in me again which will not be easy because i am not an easy to convince person... i hate people who lie to me and that is the reason why i never want to lie to people...

i will lie to my partner if it makes them feel better. Unfortunately, i think it is one of the secrets of a long-lasting relationship. However, i also feel you have to be sure when to do it and when to tell the truth. If my wife asks me, does her bum look fat, even if her bending over will cause an eclipse, im sure not going to tell her the truth, not ever. Blessed be

White lies are something we all use at times and I see noharm in them if it is to protect the other person from beeing sad or angry. I am a very bad lier, even when it comes to white lies my bf usually picks up on them =)

It is really hard to tell the truth especially when you know it'll hurt the feeling of the person you love most. I did it once, but still I told him the truth after a few days. I realized that it'll be harder and painful if he knows the truth from other persons.

Myself and my partner have never lied to or for, each other. We have open lines of communication at all times because that way, there's no room for confusion or miscommunication. Why would we lie to the one person that we love most in the world? Eventually they're going find out anyway and it's going cause a whole heap of problems you could do without, such as trust issues. Don't lie just to make someone happy. They'll respect you far more for telling them the truth.

it is really hard to say if there is a right time to tell a lie.. does the end justify the mean as they say.. little white lies may be insignificant to one person but another may consider it a big thing.. but not considering any other factors it is definitely not right to lie to a person.. but i think everybody is guilty of telling a lie even just once in our life...

I will do my best to treat my partner, and i will do anything to make my partner happy and cheer beside me. If lie is the only way i can come up, i will do it. It's something princple we grip, it's up to person. We know that lie is not something wise men would do, i so think like that, but how should i say, it just normal be that way. :) i'm not lying.

It has been said white lies are fine. I also feel it is fine provided it is done for a real cause and not hide any misdeeds. Mistakes are acceptable, who does not make any. Yes, temporarily it may make your partner happy etc, but the partner who knows you well enough will know whether whatever you do is a lie or not. He/she may not tell you he knows it is a lie but certainly will remember the lie forever if it hurts.

Unfortunatly, all the lies in the world will not make your partner happy weather they're right or wrong. Happiness comes from within! if we are unhappy we need to justify it and rectift it. I understand that we some times try to make every thing better in a relationship but you can't cover every thing up! some times we need to be sad and cry! We all tell white lies eg; You look great, no you don't look fat etc. But when it comes down to it to feel is devine and to error is devine.
