- This is as good as any as far as I am concerned.

- There is no GOOD reason to lie to your spouse or S.O. Lying only
- engenders distrust and accomplishes a lessening of the relationship.
- Complete honesty is paramount in a relationship if you want it to be
- as good as it can be.
-
- I realize there are a lot of situations when a lie might seem the best
- thing to do to protect someone but I cannot condone it. If a couple is
- completely open with one another they can share anything.
-
- Yes, confront him...get it out in the open and out of the dark where
- it will fester.
