Mark Twain had some of the greatest notions about lying. (Well, when it came to a wit with words, topping Mark Twain will always be a major challenge!) Two of my Twain favorites are:
<< Note that venerable proverb: Children and fools always speak the truth. The deduction is plain: adults and wise persons never speak it. >>
"On the Decay of the Art of Lying" by Mark Twain
<< The highest perfection of politeness is only a beautiful edifice, built, from the base to the dome,
of graceful and gilded forms of charitable and unselfish lying. >>
"On the Decay of the Art of Lying" by Mark Twain

I don't think after our fight last night there will be resurrection of anything. too many things have been said,by him to justify his running around/lies and by me in my pain. tryng to hurt him back.It's OVER and thats that.
There's a running theme weaving throughout these boards: The consequences of lying to a significant other. Whether it causes a relationship's demise is a function of multiple factors: how far into the relationship the lie occurs, how extreme the lie is, and whether the partners are married/collared/deeply committed.
Crap-tastic moments occur in all established relationships.
- In some cases, there might be a lie that one must deal with as a learning experience. Whatever prompted the lie is worked through, and the relationship continues. Example: partner has a secret affair, where his secret is discovered, or he feels the need to confess. There's pain, but with a great deal of effort and communication, the partner's lapse is resolved and the couple blazes a new shared trail. I gather this was the sort of issue you faced when the lie monster first reared its head in your relationship.
- In other cases, the lie is extreme and/or super hurtful and/or becomes an escalating behavioral pattern. The wounds it causes are too deep. Healing will occur, but only with a scar left behind. I sense this is the place where you feel you are. As devastating as this experience has been, in time you will be able to gain perspective. You will be glad and proud that you found the inner strength to realize you deserve a partner who cherishes you. Once healed, you will also be able to look back and smile about: (1) moments you enjoyed together, and (2) what you learned from the relationship.

I think the ice cream was ben n jerrys,lol.
You must be thinking of the ever popular Cherry Garcia. That, however, was not the ice cream I meant. Haagen-Dazs has a brand new lower fat line: Cherry Fudge Truffle, Coffee, Dulce de Leche, Dutch Chocolate, Mint Chip, S'mores, Vanilla Bean. I'm attaching a screen shot. I don't know how they did it, but the "mouth feel" is the same as the regular line.
Since I opened with Mark Twain, I'll close with another of the great word masters:
<< Men always want to be a woman's first love. Women like to be a man's last romance. >>
~~ Oscar Wilde ~ Ti ~
