I'll allow someone to lie to me three times before I withdraw my trust. For some people, one lie can destroy a whole relationship. I'll allow three because most of us tell little fibs for innocent reasons, or because we can't remember details. But three --significant lies-- is my limit. One of my friends has a five lie limit, thankfully, which is why we're still friends. I'm on lie three with him. It's important to set a limit on how much dishonesty you can tolerate in your relationships. Stick to it.
If you don't have a lover, it's a problem. If you do have a lover, it's another kind of problem. Lovers don't solve problems. Rather, they add layers of complication and difficulty whether they are absent or present. Dont kid yourself. All lovers are unpredictable shadow-warriors capable of snapping your soul like a matchstick.
