Books On Relationships-”Love-Lies” Why Do We Lie To Those We Love?
Sunday, December 12th, 2010
Our romantic relationships are seldom
what they seem. All of us want a relationship that’s built on openness, intimacy, and trust, but the truth is, our relationships don’t invariably work that way. Generally, our intimate relationships involve secrecy and deceit. Actually, if you wish to look for deception and betrayal in your own life, where to start is close to home. Husbands and wives, boyfriends and girlfriends, often lie about their true feelings for every other, the emotions they have for other people, and their commitment level. Indeed, it’s reliable advice that individuals save their biggest and many serious lies for those they love.For better or worse, our romantic relationships are
filled with paradoxes which we try to overlook, downplay and ignore. Typically, this strategy is effective. Until the day comes when it doesn’t, and with little warning or preparation we have to confront face-on the truth our close relationships are not precisely what they seem to be.
