Lies That Will Ruin Your Relationship

Finally in a great relationship and afraid of blowing it? Wondering why a previous relationship failed? Even if many individuals don't realize it at the time, being dishonest is a surefire way to ruin any relationship. We are not talking, however, about little white lies that someone may tell to avoid hurting their partner’s feelings. Instead, we are talking about lies an individual can tell their partner and lies they tell themselves. Relationships can last a little while after telling these lies, but as soon as even one of them is told, the clock is ticking and the relationship is on a timer.

“I Don’t Know That Person.”

Lying about one's relationships with other individuals paints the word “guilty” across their forehead. An individual can act differently towards strangers than they usually do towards others they know. While some others will act awkward around individuals they pretend they do not know. For those in a relationship, they should come clean and mention the context in which they know others. Statements such as “she hits on me at work,” or “I went on a date with him before I met you,” are not very detailed or revealing, but let one's partner know they are not hiding anything. Of course, the method of delivery for statements like these does matter. If one partner is worried about jealousy, they should keep in mind lying will only make it worse.
