Whats your opinion about lying in relationships and if you were in a situation that could make or break your relationship, would you lie to keep it going?
I agree! Lying is so disgusting and if you lie about one thing, than you're going to lie about another thing. If there's no trust, there's no relationship.
Its all contextual, lying is pretty bad, but thats not a moral absolute...so really it depends on whats going on in the relationship and how each person feels about the other.
well personally, imma pretty blunt person...especially when it comes to relationships...i feel no reason at all to lie and im too lazy to keep a lie going. when in a relationship with someone, u should be the one person that your partner expects the truth from at all times, good or bad. im a strong believer in whatever is done in the dark will come to the light, and yes the truth may hurt sometimes, but its only temporary; however a lie is permanent and can hurt just as worse in the long run
I definitely do not support lying, and neither does my girlfriend. We joke that if we ever told each other a lie it'd be time for dumping, but we know at the same time _some_ lies are acceptable -- but only if they are truly positive. Sure I lied about what I was getting her for Christmas -- but I wouldn't lie about something painful. In my mind it's better to be open and have someone accept you for who you are, rather than have them care for someone who isn't real.
Lying can be a way of delaying problems. If a lie keeps a relationship going but hides some sort of essential "wrongness" with it-- that's bad. It's not going to work out in the end.
There are lies to protect people, though. It might be better to lie about something that would not effect the relationship itself but hurt the other person. For example, lying about someone else's opinions. Why tell someone you love that their parents/siblings/etc. confessed to you that they hate them? That's only more pain.
LMAO yeah that would be a little messed up...however i still would tell my signigicant other that piece of information sooner or later...it may cause tension but they would still have the right to know someone else close to me hates them....then maybe they could do somethin to fix the situation in my opinion the truth does hurt sometimes but only temporarily, but a lie is permanent pain...honesty in end, no matter the situation is always best...unless of course it has absolutely nothin to do with the other party...in this case silence is golden lol and some things are better left unsaid
nope!
ReplyDeletei don't ever feel the need to lie.
i would nip it in the butt if the lie looked like it was going to get out of hand.
