re: Why Do Men Lie to Women? |

No doubt this article was written by a man Leslie?? Right.
Carla's post enumerating some probable reasons why men lie is so on target - and I suppose that is this thread's main topic of conversation.
As Sandra stated, there are a few different subtopics entwined - the one which I highlighted is, Why the need to lie in a relationship?
I go back through my years and honestly examine all kinds of relationships with people, i.e. family, romantic, work and friendship - and I don't see one instance where a lie (that was found out ofcourse) helped the relationship! In fact, just the opposite. Remember, almost ALL lies come to the fore at some point and time - even if it is years later.
I maintain that there are ways of avoiding hurting people by being "too" truthful and also by lieing to save our skins.
If I catch someone in a lie - well, I'm forgiving if they want to preserve our relationship - will give them the benefit of the doubt - even more - depending on the circumstances - but my trust is shaken and the relationship has been damaged - it is impossible to repair completely.
