Here is a situation: your partner lies to you and you find out. Can all lives be forgiven? and what crosses the line?

Depends on the lie? Can you give details?

I think if it’s a lie about where you are going and it ends up being a surprise party that’s a great lie. Or a lie about a gift you bought and you don’t want them to know. If it’s a lie about money or the relationship itself it’s more serious. I think another bad lie is if you said you loved them and you didn’t. You shouldn’t lie about that either.

No you can’t. 100 truth and full disclosure.

It’s better to be honest with your partner with everything. The way your question is phrased makes me think that you love your partner but something has crossed the line in your mind. Can you give more context? Is it a single lie or many? Subject?

This seems like a loaded question to be honest. I don’t think lies are good in any way, shape or form. But, the intention of the lie is key.

I’m in the same situation.

I’ve discovered that my husband ( >20 years of marriage) was sexting other women.
I confronted him and he admitted it. Seeing how I reacted (although for him it’s nothing, just a game, a pass-time, so he says), he told me he would stop.
But he didn’t….

I’m emotionally unstable since then: is it my fault? Didn’t I pay enough attention to him/his needs? Is it cheating ( although only virtually)? Should I close my eyes? Should I do the same? I have all those questions in my head.

Any opinion/ advice?

It depends on the number of lies they have told you and the most important thing that on what topics they lied to you.
