I’ve seen this scene
play out in real life countless times–from issues of cheating, to being unable
to commit, to lying–and it’s ALWAYS left me shaking my head. If you knew what your relationship is/was
from the beginning, why overlook the truth?
Do you
think when people get into relationships…can they really handle the
difficult truths? In relationships, do we REALLY want the truth?
Going in, it's rare that you dont have at least some clue as to what the difficult truths are; whether or not you choose to acknowledge them is another story.
ReplyDeleteAlthough it's nice to live in a Fool's Paradise, eventually the TRUTH is going to come back and bite you in the ass and usually at a very inconvenient time.
I just told a friend of mine that I made a promise to myself years ago that I would never keep the truth about what my relationship is about from my partner.
DeleteIs it really a relationship without truth? I think if you deliberately ignore issues, hoping they will go away you aren't really building a relationship, you are playing " Let's pretend".
ReplyDeleteMany of us LOVE the 'let's pretend' aspect of a relationship.
DeleteI will add your link to my blog, thanks for asking.
ReplyDeleteThe truth isn't always pretty. Some of us prefer pretty little lies. Denial isn't just a river in Africa.
ReplyDeleteOne.
I am trying to remember my pretty little lies I told over the years.
DeleteI think most of us have conditioned ourselves for anything but the truth and we tend to just play the game. Instant gratification and having someone to call our own is all that seems to matter in this forever changing world. Yes I'ved told a few of those lies along the way.
ReplyDeleteWe all told a few lies, but one would think that as we age we would seek the truth.
