Let’s be clear: I’m not talking about the big, ugly, deal-breaking deceptions—lies that, if exposed, could destroy a relationship.
I’m talking about the fibs and feints and little white lies that serve as a social salve and help a relationship run smoothly. You know what I mean.
And you know that even in the best marriages and romantic relationships, we sometimes fail to tell the truth. After all, we have plenty of reasons not to.
