ORIGINAL: RealSub58 How can anyone quantify lies as deal breakers or not deal breakers.One small lie that is not a deal breaker can snowball into something so huge !! Many lies that are not deal breakers says the person is a lying machine ~~ but its all good?? Nope. This says to me, a liar tolerates a liar. I don't quantify lies at all...........I tell lies sometimes and can often understand why people tell lies. Despite what people say over and over, for ME, all lies are NOT equal and I try to understand *why the lie*. It's got zilch to do with tolerance and a lot to do with a sincere desire to understand. The *why* of a lie has much more bearing on how I feel about them, frankly. My sprogs tell lies to me sometimes, I told lies to MY parents. I don't live in fear of being lied to, I accept that people do lie, for reasons of their own and if I had nothing to do with people that lie........I'd be pretty isolated. agirl I think this is the most realistic thought on the matter. We all lie and if you say you don't, your lying. For me it depends on the whats and whys, not the black and white, lie or truth. Then you decide to either create a situation where the lying is not necessary or you either live with it, or not. If someone lies to me by saying they think I still look gorgeous first thing in the morning, after being sick with a nasty head cold for two days......chances are I am SO not going throw them out of the house. I will smile and thank them, then tell them to get me some juice and tonic water, a box of fresh kleenex.
