A Lie by omission…is STILL a Lie

Do you consider not telling someone something, yes rather important something, a lie? I do. I have experienced a lot of lies in my life. Bold face lies, little white lies and those lies by omission. If someone lies by omission to you it still hurts just a much as if they had lied straight to your face. I’m not talking about those little things you don’t tell someone that in the end really are not a big deal. I’m talking something big. Well to be honest with you, I’m about getting sick and tired of these lies by omission. To sit down and discuss something with someone regardless of the outcome or the consequences is what being a responsible adult is all about. Not doing this, in my opinion, is not acceptable. I can’t think of a valid way to worm your way out of lying to someone. My next question is why the hell do people do it?? Why? When in the end all they are doing is hurting. Do they get something from it? Do they think they can get away with it? Sorry to tell you, a lie will always come out in the end. What then? The hurt has been done. So, here I sit hurting, again!

Honey, I’m so sorry. If you were still here we’d be meeting by the fountain right now. I assume that hubby lied by omission again! It just pisses me off to no extent. I don’t get it! He knows how much this hurts you, yet continues to do it! Doesn’t he get that this doesn’t show you love at all? I could just strangle him, sometimes… but what else is new? I love you and hope the new job is going well. Call me soon.

What did I lie about now? I’ve tried to be more honest then ever. Even if I know I’m going to get hammered for it.
I love how I’m the one that looks to get strangled, yet I don’t feel the same in return. I love how my wife has a great support structure of friends that would love to do this to me. Yet, I stand as an island. No close guy friends to support me.
Thats cool though. I am truly glad that she has such friends. She needs them.
