Don't Tell it Like It Is

No matter how much of a saint you might purport yourself to be, you probably find it hard to resist telling little white lies to your friends and lovers. “Yes honey, your butt looks fabulous in those jeans” or “Oh yeah, your kid could totally be a in a Gap ad.”

According to a new survey published by Harlequin Enterprises—the folks behind the romance novels—you’re not alone. Out of 2,000 men and women surveyed online, 63% of men and women said that lying in relationships is sometimes acceptable, usually when someone else’s feelings are at stake.

Nearly half of the survey’s respondents reported lying to get out of a date and 61% of men and 50% of women approved of lying about the dreaded “do these jeans make my butt look fat?” question.

I made a promise to tell my testimony all over the globe once my man come back to me and my husband came just as DR abaka told me when he helped me. I made the right choice to have contacted DR abaka the great spell caster who is capable of helping you solve your problems. My man left me to suffer and i never believed that he will come back to me again but when i contacted DR abaka he assured me that my man will come again. he gave me some list of items to buy but i could not get them in my country and so i sent him the money and he bought the items and prepared the perfect love spell. My husband ran back to me in 3 days time begging for forgiveness THIS IS SO REAL AND GENUINE. NO SCAMS. I was so surprise that the spell worked just as he told me. This is so amazing and i want you to believe because DR abaka is so real and i urge you contact him now on his email so that he can also help you the way he helped me. email is Drabakaspelltemple@gmail.com and you can also contact him with his phone number on whats app +2349063230051 you can also check and contact him on htpp://Drabakaspelltemple.blogspot.com

Lying is one of the most horrible things people can do to each other. The closer our relationships are to certain people, the more honest we have to be towards them.
The truth may hurt, but lies hurt much, much more.

Lying is a means of control, and i totally don't approve of it.. If i don't look good in an outfit i would hope my SO would be honest and tell me no. If he tells me yes even though i don't then what's that say about the relationship?? It's bogus. people need to stop being so sensitive.
