Truth In Marriage

[sbk]

anyway, unless you are planning on marrying the person giving you directions, does it have that much to do with genuine honesty in a relationship?

Little white lies are far different than some major dishonesty that goes on, IMHO. We all do it, yes "that looks great", "good job on the repair there dear", "you look terrrific in that outfit".... This is a different kettle of fish than cheating, stealing or other such dishonesty that doesn't have a whole lot to do with culture but rather varies from person to person.

My wife finally agreed to marry me when she found that I was too stupid to be able to lie to her successfully.

(Fortunately, I have been bright enough to realise it was no good trying.)

Some things should be left unsaid, aren’t they?...well it's what is left unsaid that destroys marriage! Some people will lie for the sake of peacekeeping or to preserve harmony but without realizing that “little lies” only buy peace on the surface, but underneath there might be some hidden hurt feelings, troubling questions and hidden hostilities just waiting (sooner or later) to erupt. Sometimes we lie because we’re afraid how the truths will jeopardize the relationship. What relationship? A relationship without the truth is no relationship at all. You want to be married to a truth teller, not a peacekeeper. I rather try to find the way to confront the truth constructively than way to avoid telling the truth. I believe only the truths glued the marriage, not lies, because lying is a costly price to pay for a cheap peace with far greater consequences along the road.

Telling the truth — what are we afraid of?

[DragonQuest]

everybody lies, its human nature. we dont admit it sometimes and we hide it, sometimes we wont say anything, but we know the facts.

And that's the truth.

Hog shed, eh, Terry? Laughing at my dental package, still? Payback time. And just so you won't get lonely, I'm lumping Tutsi in there with ya.

Tutsi and Terry trussed up by ex-wives in a tree,

Along comes a white chick out to take a pee,

Looks round, sees no-one, strips and squats to wee.

Tutsi and Terry strain to lookey see.

Tutsi says to Terry, "Think she'll set us free?"

"Looks like my ex-wife, probly charge a fee."

The lady completes her comfort task, looks up in the tree.

"EEK, I bet you boys were ogling me!"

Terry says yes, Tutsi says maybe.

2021, and still they hang in the tree,

Tutsi and Terry, the honest wannabees.
