Sometimes these white lies or distortions of the truth are not harmful to the relationship, say when you want to avoid an unnecessary fight over something really insignificant. But there are also those lies that can be very damaging to a relationship.
There are four types of lies you should never tell because they can destroy even the best of relationships.
No relationship is perfect, but a good and quality relationship is based on honesty. So avoid lying about the things below and try to build your relationship on trust and respect.
1. Lying about loyalty
Unfortunately, it is very common in partnerships, as it only worsens the whole situation. You may lie to yourself and say that you want to protect your partner in this way, but in reality you are protecting yourself. Whether it's cheating or flirting, staying silent or lying about loyalty is not the right way to communicate. A lie has short legs and in the end it always, remember, always, comes to the surface. And if your partner catches you in a lie, you will hurt him even more.
If you were brave when you decided to be unfaithful, muster up the courage now and be open with your partner. Admitting infidelity will not always lead to the end of the relationship. If you make an effort, and if your partner wants it, you can find a way to regain trust and intimacy.
2. Lying about your feelings
To avoid arguments, people in relationships often say that everything is fine, that nothing is wrong. However, covering up your feelings can be just as painful as lying.
If your partner has hurt you, tell him. Hiding your feelings will not bring you anything positive. Lack of openness and trust will only cause anger in your partner, which can lead to insurmountable problems in relationships.
In a quality relationship, partners want to know why the other party is upset and do what they can to improve and fix the situation. So be honest with your partner and tell them how you feel, even if you don't really want to talk about it.
3. Lying about financial situation
When it comes to a long-term or serious relationship, lying about your financial situation can be very damaging. If you've received a raise or taken on debt, your partner has a right to know.
4. Lies in sexuality
Research showed that 87 percent of people climax at least once in their lives during intercourse. Of course, sex isn't always perfect, but you really don't have to lie about whether you enjoy it or not. The reason is simple. If you don't tell your partner that what they're doing isn't working, how are they supposed to know that something isn't working?
Many women shy away from climaxing because they fear it will hurt their partner's ego, but the truth is that his satisfaction comes from your pleasure. The best approach is to be honest about your wishes. Tell them which moves you like and which ones you don't. You can gently whisper to him to try something different, or use your hands to guide him in the right direction.
In any case - don't lie! Neither of you benefit from this.
