These People’s Partners Lied To Them For Years, So Clearly It’s Better To Stay Single
Depending on who you talk to, there are plenty of people out there who would say that it's okay to lie to your spouse or your partner in a relationship. Those people, though, would definitely clarify that it should be little white lies, not monumental things.
You can lie when your girlfriend asks if you noticed her new haircut, because it's better for the both of you. Where do you draw the line, though? We'd probably say things like lying about how many children you actually have or how old you are would be crossing the line.
Someone Needs To Work On Their Counting Skills
It's not even about the fact that the person they're with has three kids instead of two. It's that they lied about how many children they have.
How do you decide that one of your children just doesn't matter enough to mention?
That Sounds Dry AF
Ignorance truly is bliss when it comes to the eating habits of your spouse. There are just some things that don't reveal themselves until you live with someone for a long time.
By this point, it's too late, and now you're stuck with the knowledge that your wife doesn't know how to make a proper PB&J.
Stroganoff Secrets
If there was ever a sign that two people were meant to be together, this feels like it.
Stroganoff can be a polarizing food, but it brought these two closer together without them even realizing it. They've lived 10 stroganoff-less years, but no more!
He Must Have Aged Well
They don't specify, but would it matter to you if they were nine years older or nine years younger than the age you thought they were?
We're assuming he said he was younger than he actually was, but who knows? People do crazy things sometimes.
She Just Wanted To Find A Little Common Ground
She would not be the first woman to go on a date and fake an interest in something because she wants to connect with the person they're dating.
However, lying about having a dead mother is very different than feigning an interest in his favorite hockey team or googling information about what "bouldering" is when you go to the bathroom.
Not Every Screen Should Be A Touchscreen
There would be no "almost" if our S.O. was doing this. We'd definitely lose it.
Imagine the fingerprints and smudges that you'd discover on that screen on a sunny day.
Why Not Announce It Before It Happens?
People who talk through a burp are bad enough, but to talk through a burp just to announce that they're burping? That's too much.
There is definitely something wrong with her, though we're not sure what.
We'll Be Double-Checking Driver's Licenses On First Dates From Now On
These posts are making us think that we need to start doing full background checks on anyone and everyone we come across in a romantic capacity.
It might not be grounds for divorce, but anyone who lies about their age for that long is probably going to do some other questionable things.
We Could've Predicted This One
This is a glaring red flag of toxicity that everyone should be aware of in a relationship.
If your partner suddenly starts accusing you of cheating despite having absolutely no evidence to back it up, it's probably because they're a cheater.
You're Both Better Off Without Him
So both of these women can walk away from that relationship with the knowledge that they are much better off without this man and his bad energy in their lives.
Maybe they'll even find a friend in each other thanks to it.
That's Not How This Works
I mean, you could probably argue that this man wasn't lying, he was being quite honest with his partner—too honest, even.
On the other hand, this isn't a desire that you'd just suddenly develop. He's been sitting on that one for a while.
So He's A Monster
Has he just been silently eating chocolate ice cream while brimming with disgust for years, or did his wife just never notice that the carton of Neapolitan always has the strawberry & vanilla eaten out of it first?
Still, she's looking on the bright side: it just means more delicious chocolate ice cream for her.
A Pleasant Surprise
This would be at the top of the list of things that we'd be okay with our partner hiding from us.
It seems a little weird for her to put her culinary skills on the back burner for so long, but maybe she liked the extra treatment from her boyfriend!
Seems Like A Weird Thing To Lie About
We'd be very curious to know what the rationale behind this line of thinking was.
What does he accomplish by saying that his girlfriend was dead? Why not just say you broke up like a normal person?
Liar Liar, Pants On Fire
If you start catching someone in little lies about things that don't matter, you're going to want to get the heck out of that relationship.
Anyone who chooses to lie about the little things is almost definitely lying about the big things too. And no, not everyone lives that way. Most people's lives are rooted in truth.
The Missing Piece Of The Puzzle
Clearly, the fact that his wife eats really slowly was some deep-seated pet peeve that he'd been sitting on for years.
Now it's still a pet peeve, but at least he has an idea of where it stems from.
Excuse Me?!
Oh absolutely not.
No matter how much we loved someone, we would not be sticking around to deal with the fallout from a big reveal like this one. That's a hard no. No questions asked, because we also don't want the answers. Just get outta there.
This Is Grounds For Divorce
If he was still willing to marry her after discovering that she picked off all the toppings from her pizza first, we have to question what's wrong with him.
They're definitely lucky they found each other.
This Probably Isn't A Life-Altering Issue
Luckily, this is one of those things that we wouldn't exactly call a life-or-death situation.
In fact, this is one of those white lies we were talking about before. You can live your whole life without ever coming into contact with grape soda, as long as you stay clear of any birthday parties for 6-year-olds.
How Wholesome
We just wanted to end this off on a strong note to prove that these are the types of little lies or omissions that we'd love to tolerate from our partner.
Any of these other liars though can stay far away, though.
