Dishonesty in Relationships
How many lies does it take to destroy a relationship? Three lies? Four lies? Or is one enough? Some might say it depends on the lie. A little white lie may not carry weight, but a more serious untruth could bring down the rickety house of cards your relationship is built on. I’ve recently been spending time contemplating dishonesty in relationships and how it affects my life and the relationships around me. Have you spent any time thinking about it?
Relationships are such an important area of my life. It occurred to me one day that I am my friends. I had heard the phrase before, but I never really understood it. When I finally got it, it changed a lot in my life. I want to live a life with friends that I don’t lie to and who don’t lie to me. If I lie, or they lie, what it says is crippling. It says there is no trust. Without trust, how can you expect to see your way forward? Yet if you stick to your guns, and never lie, that’s the new world you build for yourself to inhabit. Those are the types of people you will find yourself surrounded by. Is that such a bad situation to find yourself in?
Relationships require trust. If you’re here, you’ve probably read some of our dating site reviews and you’re looking for that next great love. Shouldn’t the person you love, at the very least, be your friend? If you’re dating your friend, doesn’t that bring your relationship to the next level? If I don’t lie to my friends, there’s no way I should lie to the one I love. This has been the sort of internal discussion I’ve been having with myself about dishonesty and relationships.
Ending
a relationship is bad enough, but when it’s happening because your
relationship
failed due to a lack of truth and trust, it hurts our collective soul. Say
no to dishonesty in relationships and you’ll build a brighter future for
yourself and everyone else that comes in contact with you!

The number of lies cannot be counted- it depends on a person. Everyone has his own limit.
When it comes to telling the truth we usually are confused as in many cases we didn't want to hear that.
I think that sometimes we should keep silent.
