What’s the point? What good could possibly come from a lie?
I understand omission. Some things are better left unsaid.
BUT
If I ask you a question… point blank… even if you think I might be better off not knowing the answer… don’t fucking lie to me.
Guess what?
I’m going to find out anyway. Somehow, I always do. Maybe because I’m a fucking genius. And definitely because you’re a fucking moron.
Don’t worry… I won’t call you out. Maybe you’ll think all is forgiven. But I will know. I will always know. And apologizing doesn’t erase your act of dishonesty so don’t bother. I will remember.
Forgiving is possible. Forgetting is not.
I hope it was worth it.
My goodness. I don’t know what happened, but you certainly didn’t deserve it.

Thanks. I may be being a little dramatic… But it’s sort of a general, non-specific thought, too…

Well, if that happened to me, that’s the kind of thing I’d be screaming in my head.

I hope it was worth it.
When someone I love has lied to me, I’ve always said to myself……I wish I was worth it (the truth). In retrospect, intellectually know that person had his/her own baggage and reason, but emotionally, the chunk is missing. Takes a lot to get it back, if ever.
I’m so sorry if you’ve been hurt by a lie. Hugs and love to you.

Thanks Kay. I am much too quick to forgive (though I don’t forget)… And I kind of curse myself for the quick-forgiving because it just happens again… and I hate to lose people so I become a doormat…

I suppose I am too. I hate to lose people, too, and also feel terrible for possibly making another person feel rejected or abandoned. It’s crazy. Lol. 💜

I’ve come to realize my wife rarely asks a question that she doesn’t already know the answer to. I’m guessing most women are similar. I’m with you though, lying is shitty, and erodes trust quicker than anything else can.

Yes it does. And though I never forget, I think I need to stop forgiving as easily as I do because then it just keeps happening and I’m a doormat…

It was good once I got past the bursting into tears in the beginning with my mom and sisters. It was low-key which was good for me. The cake was perfect… I always figure box cake mix is good and there’s no need to make it from scratch so I haven’t done it in a long time, but it was so much better.

I have a hard time seeing my family lately. They all have their shit together, some more than others, but all way more than I do. It’s not them… it’s me. They love me… they’re not doing anything… it just hurts to be around them sometimes because I’m such a failure.

Failure/success is very subjective, it shouldn’t be measured the same way or scale for everyone. You’re not a failure!

You are not being overly sensitive or dramatic. Lairs are horrible! I can tolerate “white lies” like “hey omg are you throwing me a birthday party?” “oooo nooo totally not? It’s your birthday? Gawwwd I hate you…” *hides guest list* type lying. But other than that there’s no need to lie to people. And I will go angry ginger on their butts.

Yeah I totally get it. I’m the exact same way. It’s so much better to hear the truth than a lie. A truth I can move on from, a lie I have to deal with your dishonesty AND the truth
