Have you ever had someone tell you that they didn't want to hurt your feelings after you found out they lied to you. Is this really a good excuse for lying to someone? I have. My response was didn't you think that it would hurt me even worse when I found out about it, plus knew that you lied to me.
I was just watching "Everybody Loves Raymond". I think that show was hilarious. What about you? Did you like that show? Do you still watch the repeats? Anyways, Raymond and Debra told one lie, then it ended up turning into a big bunch of lies.
It seems like that is what always happens. Then how are you going to keep all of these lies straight? You know you are going to get caught.
If someone tries to get me to lie about something with them, and I'm not talking about pulling a prank or joking with someone, I usually tell them something I heard on a show one time. It was "I only get two lies a year, and I'm not wasting one of them on you". How can anyone argue with that? LOL

Lying just shows your total disregard for the other persons feelings. Although small lies might be ok so as not to trouble the person (like saying you are ok when infact you have a cold) but lies that affect the trust in a relationship is absolutely not acceptable. You will eventually get caught, then yuo drop in the eyes of your partner and can never recover back the position of trust that person had in you. It's not worth it, it never is...

I hear you, and I know exactly what you are saying. It also makes it where you will wonder if they are lying to you all of the time, and if there is ever a question about something, you will be suspicious. If someone isn't doing anything wrong, why would they ly in the first place, right!
Thank you for your response in this discussion, I hope you have a wonderful day!

I don't believe in lying because no matter how good your intentions are someone always ends up getting hurt. Also i believe that if i do something that i would have to end up lying about i shouldn't do it. I would rather tell the person the truth now and have them hurt now, then lie to them and possibly hurt them more later. To me lying is in excusable no matter what.
