November 11, 2007Reader success story ~ I know why he doesn’t trust you

Filed under: Reader Stories by merylrunion |

This week’s success story is a post on a previous post – blame it on tivo. The post talks about how lying undermines trust in relationships, even if the lie is relatively minor. Here is the post.

Nicely put. I have tried convincing people of this many times. My favorite was my sister who ordered a coffee of the month club so she could get the free coffee maker. She had it shipped to my house so she could tell her husband we gave it to them instead of admitting she spent $20. And then had the nerve to complain that he doesn’t trust her. I told her if you are willing to lie about a coffee maker, what happens when something comes up that is even harder to tell the truth about.
