Is it neccessary to lie in a relationship?

hello?

sometimes

question

This is a pretty tricky question and it has different sides to the answer.

To begin with, it's not right to lie in a relationship but there are some truths that hurt more than some kind of lies.

I'll advice that if it has to do with serious issues like, infidelity, fertility, health, family history (including family relationships) then, stick with the truth and don't even try to paint it.

But if it's trivial issues, like there's this perf you've been dying to have he thinks you shouldn't spend so much money on perf, and he says, 'hey baby, how much did that perf go for?' and you go 'emmm, . ., not so expensive, and he says 'I say How much? I need a figure' you could do some calculations in your head and tell him the figure you think he wants to hear!
That doesn't really hurt, you could tell him the truth sometimes later when he complements it or when his friends do, other wise, just keep your lips

No lie, no peace

u can run but u can't hide 4rm it lmao

I don't agree to lies in relationship, whether black, white or blue lies

Once started, it continues & there is no room of escape

And no matter what, there will always come a time when u will have to tell the whole truth u've always kept. Especially,when it eventually becomes a "solid relationship", u may even not know when the truth pours.

Point: never start with what u may refer to as "cheap lies" so that it doesn't become too "hot to handle".

@topic, i quite agree wth JK. . . i always say that lie has a wide extended family, at the moment u invite one into your household/r'ship, the rest of it all will follow.  One lie leads to many lies cus u will always lie to defend the previous one u told. . . which when found out may blemish your image or the trust your partner has in u

in short, lies are not good!!

@yimi, tell granny am coming over for the xmas break/holidays. . . abi u're satisfied now

Most times for the sake of peace, the truth is not the best answer

iice:

I agree with Yimiton and jkpretty. . .lol
Depending on the person. . .sometimes it is better to withhold info. . .sometimes not.
Li'l white lies that you know will not escalate to big things. . .

Personally. . .instead of lying, i just tell you, i ain't telling. . .and you can take that to the bank

I actually prefer not to say anything at all than lying. Especially in my relationship o, to ur casual friends cheap or white lies could be used

Don't support it. _{I prefer the truth even if it hurts}
