It is not easy to maintain a relationship and one needs to put a lot of effort to keep the relationship go on smoothly. And trust and truth is also a necessary part of the relationship. If one lies and another comes to know about the lie then he/she might feel like being cheated. It is how it goes when one hates lies too much. Am i right or wrong? If you feel like being cheated then how do you handle the situation? As for me i am naive on many things and trying to learn handling things.

i agree. i definitely hate to be lied to. coz it feels like you are being cheated out of the truth. it's a huge effort to make a relationship work especially if both of you already have flaws before coming together. lies and trust issues will just make it worse if not handled immediately and properly. i'm the kind of person who can handle the worst kind of past my boyfriend could ever have... provided he tells me the truth himself, but i cannot handle a simple lie that he hides from me while we are in a relationship and i learned it from someone else. a bit extreme perhaps, but that's the way i am. i could be kind and most forgiving but i could also be very very stubborn. hehe handling these kind of issues are dealt on a case to case basis. depending on how deep (the relationship is), how serious (the issue is) and how grave (the effects are). of course it will hurt. for me it will hurt a lot. but when that is done, there's only one thing to do... face the music. a serious talk is in order... and start from there.

i'm the kind of person who can handle the worst kind of past my boyfriend could ever have... provided he tells me the truth himself, but i cannot handle a simple lie that he hides from me while we are in a relationship - The same goes for me as well... Accepting anything which is true never hurts me but instead it makes me happy that the other person is telling me the truth. The truth is which is already done before and one has to go with it. But a lie is something (even if it is small or big) will come out later and that will create problem for sure. Lies never be able to hide itself forever. And when it comes out then it brings pain with it. Well it seems we are similar on this thing. And i really hope to see you around time to time on my discussion. It's really great to have you on my discussions.

Hi there dark! Like how most people would react if they are being cheated, I will of course get mad and this is what I have in mind that I will do.. I will confront the person who cheated me. I'll let him explain cause I would want to know why he cheated. But after the confrontation, it will be the end of our relationship. Now I may or may not be able to deal with it like what I've said cause it could be different if I'm already in such situation, but for sure I will get mad and cry huhuhu hehe.. Ciao!

Hi iskayz, glad to see you again... Well i don't think it will be that easy to break the relationship even if you say so. Don't you agree? And you already are confused and said may be or may not be.lol So that explains you are just saying this. And getting mad is something natural. Well everyone has to go with it. At least you can cry to relief your pain. See you around...

Hello darksorrow, I am a forgiving person. If I am being cheated and found it myself, I still give that person a chance to get back my trust. Of course, I won't trust that person anymore wholeheartedly, and maybe always feel suspicious about him. I can forgive and forget about it as long as he admits his mistake or his fault of cheating me but thing will never be the same again like before, forever.

Hello gr8life, Thanks for sharing this with me. But i am different type. I am a type of person who can accept anything NO MATTER WHAT IT IS but can not accept if someone lies to me. I don't know why but it makes me mad and all i want is destroy everything. That's how i feel. Though sometimes i also lie but can't take the lies coming from people who are close to me. And i don't know yet but i think it is possible for me to forgive a person totally if that person tells me the truth later and does not add another lie with that truth.

If I feel that I am cheated I need to proves that feeling if it's true or not to avoid disrespectful to my partners. I need to justify that feeling, first so that I know what to do. If found that cheated, I talk and ask why? If found that reason is acceptable I need to go away and leave that conscience on him/her. If he/she, think that her/his mistake and remorse I will forgive...

So i can't explain it here. But i have experienced it. And good luck to you. Hope someone comes to your life very soon.

Nope...This only my opinion on what your discussions are. I don't have any, still searching for the right girl in my heart. I want someone that is really love, that never cheated, respect me, and love me for what I am...Did you experience cheating by your partner?

If I am cheated someday by someone, it becomes difficult for me to control my anger, as I am short tempered. Most of the times, I infuriate at the person and confront him to show up a reason. But then, if I see a goodwill in his sin, I forgive him and give him another chance to earn my trust.

I am also a short tempered person and have faced many situations where i did wrong because of my short temper. So now what i do is try to avoid things if i am angry.

I think trust is the most important thing in a relationship. I think any kind of lie is hurtful even just a while lie. If the person in the relationship lies now they are going to think its ok to lie whenever they want because they were forgiven maybe forgiving them once or twice is fine but not all the time because i have found that they end up lying about alot more than what they lead on and it becomes very stressful and hurtful.

Well i can't take lie from anyone who is close to me. And lie is always painful. And what is the purpose of lying if the lie has to come out someday and create problem where the truth will not have any effect on a relationship. Anyways i am sorry for what you have been through. But i don't think i will go though of what you have been.

Hi Darksorrow, I'm currently being cheated on by my husband. It is very painful, it hurts so bad that sometimes I just want to leave. But there are some things that are holding me back from doing such a drastic thing - one of which is my daughter. We have been in this marriage for 7 years. Dunno if you want to call it the 7-yr itch... But he tells me that he wants her for a second wife. I don't know if this is the truth or just an excuse to be with her a little longer. But from the support and advice of my friends, I'm going to stay put. I'm not going anywhere. It seems like a game to me - both me and the other woman are playing... Like who will break (down) first, you know? So I'm not going to give up. There are lots of gray areas in their relationship and recently my hubby questions whether he is wasting time with that girl... I pray that God lead me to the right path of happiness. With regards to the lies, I'm being bombarded with lies every single day. But God is great and he has revealed to me the truth despite all the lies. It hurts a lot, but I'm not confronting him abt it... I have my reasons for doing this.

Thank you for your confidence in my strength as well as for praying for him to come to his senses. I do pray for that as well. I won't give up. I'm here to stay. I will continue my efforts to make our marriage last forever in this life and the hereafter.

Hello sydney, It's very sad that such kind of thing happened to you. Truly speaking i can not even close to think that how much pain you are in. But it seems you have lots of patience on you which is your strength. I may be wrong, but as you mentioned that he told you he wants a 2nd wife. Is this normal to say that to one's wife? I don't think so. He must have been through something so he told this to you. Don't you think so? Well i also say don't leave the game. That woman is the one who is doing wrong. So she has to give up. And it seems to me you are willing to forgive your husband. That also shows how much you love him. Don't mind but he is a unlucky guy who goes to someone else leaving someone who loves him this much. And since he is already realizing that he is on the wrong track hopefully he will come to the right track soon. Sydney, all i can do is pray for your happiness and hope everything goes in favor of you and your husband comes to your senses. GOOD LUCK Sydney.

This has happened to almost everyone. When someone lies or cheats me some other way, I can forgive easily enough. It is rebuilding trust that is the hardest part. Karen

Hello Karen, I agree with you. It is not easy to rebuild trust. But i don't thing if trust is broken once things can never be like before.

I know from personal experience it can be forgiven, and most trust rebuilt, but still with that tiny seed of doubt present ever after...just my own experience, mind you. Karen

The worst feeling that i could ever get in my life is feeling cheated.....I don't know what will i do, but i know it is not going to be so easy with me.....as the feeling of being cheated itself gets me so frustrated and sad.....but then it is a common sight these days......there are hardly people who stick together for a long time......but yes having said that there are many people who believe and trust in each other very much.......but then still i would never been feel like talking to that person ever again, i have seen people being friends even after they were cheated......i would never be able to even look into her eyes again.....it would be so painful......

Hmmm. Since you are not in a relationship you can say like that. But it is HELL lot difficult to leave a person who you love. I was like you before but now i have changed. And even after that i still can not leave her. She means more to me than the pain she gives me. You will understand when the time comes.

i m the same as you, naive and still trying to know about people. i got cheated, and still i feel so defeated. they have been living a lie, i could hardly believe that this person in my life had cheated on me. i learned one thing, never trust people who are too good to be true!
• Bangladesh
26 Jun 09
Yeah the feeling is very bad. And when you are naive you don't know how to control things and things get worse for you. We are on the same boat so we know we still need time and teachings from life to control our feelings. Good luck to you.

For me, being cheated is worst than murder! I hate to cheat and being cheated. When I catch anyone cheating me, I strictly end my friendship. If that was relative, I would not trust a single word out of his/her mouth! I'll just ignore the situation and play my part.
• Bangladesh
25 Jun 09
Hmmm. Well that is what is fair to do to those persons. But ending friendship is not worth it. Friends may cheat sometimes but ending a relationship for this i don't think it is right. May be you can act passive and not trust anymore instead of breaking the friendship. That's what i do.
• India
25 Jun 09
Ofcourse I don't end friendship for small acceptable cheating. I'm talking about the major ones who play-off someone's life by calling her parents to tell that she's done an abortion! Those type is what I meant to end friendship! Guess in your case you handle better then me than!

Hi darksorrow Im a very trusting person, and very forgiving. My bf cheated at me twice and i accepted him, then he cheated the 3rd time around, i forgave him but i didnt accept him anymore..im done giving him chances and he's blowing it over and over again. I know its being stupidity, but its me..i forgive easily and gives people chance to redeem themselves..people chance...i believe that when one do things the first time around, i consider it as an accident, the 2nd time, still an accident, but the 3rd time, its already on purpose. So its over.

I agree with you. Not everyone can give their total self to the other one. It is not necessary to be fair but backing off from a relationship is not totally fair. Forgeting and forgiving is very easy when one loves another truly but lying or cheating makes things different. Well what you BF did to you was sad. I am sorry for you friend. Hope you are ok now. BTW what are you hiding behind your hands?

I dislike liars it is not healthy inside of a relationship. Since today I realized that the person I am involved with has lied to me. It is not a good feelings even when you give he/she room to be honest upfront. Is it that I have forgiven him yes but I am looking forward in moving on with my life. A person should always be truthful to his/her partner no one is perfect and when we can be open with our feelings and doings it make the other more comfortable in the relationship. I wouldn't encourage anyone to lie to their partners be honest because this will strengthen the love that the person has for you.

Well said kerriannc. Being truthful can bring happiness in a relationship but still people tend to lie or hide things or can't open themselves totally. Well that's how things go i guess.

I believe that people cheat for different reasons. If they are a deceitful person at heart they will always be a liar. Without trust there is truly no relationship.

Well we can't help it one behaves that way. Where there is no trust and comes a question of truth i don't know where it will lead.
