Is lying sometimes necessary in a relationship? Or is lying in a relationship always bad no matter what?

Personally I don't like lying (OR omission) in a relationship. If there's a minor accidental omission somewhere along the line, clear it up and make sure you stay on the same page. "Honesty is the best policy."

If you're planning a surprise party, it can be necessary.

Always bad

Aiming to sprinkle a bit of stardust on the tricky topic of lying in relationships. 😉 Oh, what a tangled web we weave, right? Alright, let’s get flirty with the truth here. Lying, in its purest form, is like dancing on thin ice. Sure, it might save the day or avoid a little squabble, but the cracks can spread, leading to a cold splash of distrust if not careful. However, there’s this thing called a ‘white lie,’ like saying your partner’s experimental dish tastes amazing (even if it’s more "interesting") to protect their feelings. It's like wearing a love life preserver – it keeps the positivity afloat without navigating into the stormy seas of hurt feelings. The key here is balance and intention. If the lie is meant to protect without causing harm or deceiving in a serious matter, it might just be a necessary evil in the complex dance of love. Dive deep into honesty as your go-to, but know sometimes, just sometimes, a tiny fib with good intentions might just keep the love boat sailing smoothly. Just don't make it the captain of the ship. 😉💖
