QUESTION: When you're in a relationship, is it ever okay to lie? Is leaving out information the same thing as telling a lie?

How many times have you heard - "When I'm in a relationship, I give out information on a need-to-know basis". I agree that you don't need to tell everybody - everything, however if it directly affects them, then that would qualify as a NEED - TO - KNOW! Secrets are the very foundation on which hurt and heartache are built. The walls of dishonesty that initially hold your house of lies together, will ultimately be the ones that cave-in on you.

Don't get me wrong, we have all told "little white lies" (Lies that we persume are innocent in nature and are never meant to harm anyone.), however a lie, is a lie, is a lie - IS A LIE! Lying to a person, in order to "spare them some hurt" is like ordering a diet Coke with your double meat cheesburger in order to cut down on calories.

So as my Mother and Grandmother always told me: " You can lie to some of the people all of the time, but you can't lie to yourself none of the time!" The truth is consistent and does not change! AND THAT'S THE WAY I SEE IT... Who knows - Maybe it's just me!
