Lies That Will Ruin Your Relationship

"They're Just a Friend."

"They're just a friend." That's a big, messy statement when it's a lie. Sometimes individuals say it when they've already acted on their feelings for the third party. Sometimes they say it because they're denying their feelings exist, or that they matter enough to act on. It's natural for you to experience attraction to people other than your partner. In a healthy relationship, you can acknowledge it and move on. Your partner can also acknowledge it and move on because they won't feel so possessive or jealous that your feelings for another person are a threat. Some couples even practice a system called ethical non-monogamy, which is where partners pursue multiple romantic or sexual relationships while being totally open and transparent with everyone involved. But if you were doing that, you wouldn't have to lie. What unhealthy dynamics are driving you to lie about this situation? Do you doubt the strength of your own relationship? Do you want a relationship with the other person more than you want your partner?

Uncover the next lie that can ruin a relationship now.
