Relationships can be complicated in some cases, so it’s not always an easy choice to be completely honest with your partner at that moment. Some times we speak little white lies from time to time, but when it comes to our relationships, sometimes we try to stretch the truth a bit further according to the instant situation. Here’s a list of 10 things we often lie about in our relationships:
How Much We Like Their Friends: Even if you don’t like your partner’s friends, you may not tell them. We don’t want to hurt our partner’s feelings, so it’s easier to just pretend we like their friends even if we don’t.
How Much We Care About Their Hobbies: Most of us have hobbies that our partners don’t share. We might say that we care about their hobbies when we don’t, just to make them feel better.
How Much We Miss Them When They’re Away: We may tell our partner that we miss them more than we actually do. We don’t want to hurt their feelings, so we’ll often exaggerate how much we miss them when they’re away.
How Much We Like Their Family: If you don’t particularly like your partner’s family, you might not tell them. You don’t want to hurt their feelings, so it’s easier to just tell them you like their family even if you don’t.
How Much We Like Their Gifts: It’s not always easy to tell someone that you don’t like the gift they gave you. So, instead of telling them the truth, we often tell them that we love the gift even if we don’t.
How We Feel About Their Job: If your partner has a job that you don’t particularly care for, you might not tell them. You don’t want to hurt their feelings, so you might just pretend like you’re supportive.
How Much We Like Their Appearance: We may not tell our partner that we don’t like the way they dress or the way they do their hair. We don’t want to hurt their feelings, so we just tell them that we like their appearance even if we don’t.
How Much We Spend Money: We may not tell our partner how much money we spend. We don’t want them to think that we’re irresponsible with money, so we might lie about how much we spend.
How We Feel About Their Decisions: If we don’t like the decisions our partner is making, we might not tell them. We don’t want to hurt their feelings, so we just pretend like we’re okay with their decisions even if we’re not.
How Much We Love Them: We may tell our partner that we love them more than we actually do. We don’t want to hurt their feelings, so we tell them we love them even if we don’t feel that way.
These are just a few of the things we lie about in our relationships. It’s not always easy to be honest with our partners, but it’s important to be honest if we want our relationships to last.
