Be serious in your answer. How many times would your lover/spouse have to lie to you before you got up and left the relationship?

Not all lies are equal.

Not all lies are equal.

Shit. Where was I when they covered this point in school? Or, life, for that matter.

So, I'm somewhat of a child in this area I think, can you explain this? That lies aren't all equal, not that I'm a child.

Depends what about. I have already been the liar, so I can see clearer on the matter from my perspective and prioritize it.

If my partner lies about something seemingly "small" like using tobacco or buying lottery tickets (which btw, aren't small to me because they would still be lies and tobacco is icky) ... How would I be able to tell if they are lying about the commitment of the relationship or cheating?.

It also depends how far into the relationship it is. 2 weeks in and you find out they smoke then that's not as bad as a year into a rel.


If they're lying to you regularly it doesnt necessarily mean they're not committed or cheating on you, but theres definitely a problem in the rel.

Everyone tells white lies occasionally.

I've never told a lie!

I have a friend who has been married for,like, 7 years. They have the strangest relationship imo. Hubby has this thing where he is is always checking on her and he seems to doubt she is telling the truth. Sometimes she does lie. But mostly by omission. "Yeah. I'm at MacGirlver's. She has some clothes her kids outgrew that will look cute on Ivy." What she omit is that, while on the phone, she is in the garage with me smoking a bowl. If she tells him she's smoking with me, he will pout about it cuz he wasn't there.

Now her hubby could have just come with her, but he chose to stay home and drink while grandma had the baby for the weekend.

Its like, risk getting into a fight with a hubby who is maybe drunk when you get home and ruin your baby-free night or omit that you were hanging out with a friend smoking, go home and have a nice baby-free night?

I can't say I blame her for her choice.

One time she comes in the door of my place and hands me the phone. "Just tell him hi and that I'm here."
"Uh..ok. hey K. What's up?"
"This is...?" He asks
"MacGirlver. How's it going?"
My friend then takes the phone. "See I told you! Of course she is gonna think you're retarded!" Geez!" Then hung up. "He told me to 'not make him look retarded' but shit!"

Another time she mentioned her and her hubby are a lot like Doug and Carrie on "King of Queens". I think she is right. They are a more real-life version of those characters.

I've never told a lie!

Liar.

Not all lies are equal.

This. Also, points for phrasing that correctly. But then, you are a Brit.

You're lying!
