Lies That Will Ruin Your Relationship

“You Don’t Have To Worry About The Money.”

Financial lies are one of the top causes of breakups and divorces. When it comes to finances, it is truly the business of both partners, especially if they share a home together or other investments. Therefore, if one partner tells their significant other they do not need to worry about money, it really means it is none of their concern, which is not fair as finances, especially shared, affects both parties equally. It can also be construed as “this is privileged information” or “I do not trust you with my money.” Essentially, it is a flat out lie one partner does not have the right to know about shared money, as they do, especially when it affects both partners and other financial investments both may have a stake in.

“I’m Sorry You Feel That Way!”

Simply put, no that partner is not. If a significant other truly was sorry, they would be saying a lot more than this. Although this lie is not as pungent as some others, it can slowly lead to the demise of any relationship, as it reveals a person is not able or willing to empathize with their partner or view things from their perspective. They are not considering their partner’s feelings, thoughts, and perspectives about a certain issue. They simply are not sorry. Repeating this lie chips away at the foundation of a healthy relationship or the ability to relate. If a partner cannot relate, they are not really in a committed and healthy relationship.
