Just what lies can you concoct to cover up the end of your relationship?
The moment a cheating wife made up a story that she had been abducted and raped by strangers rather than admit to her husband and young child that she was having an affair she drew attention to the fact that so many couples are embroiled in a deep game of deception that begins with themselves and then extends, naturally, to just about every other aspect of their lives.
The story reported in the London Times highlights the lengths cheating partners are capable of going to in order to hide their infidelity and continue the sham of their relationship and the question it so obviously begs is why? Why go to such incredible lengths to prevent the truth from coming out? Why create such elaborate stories when it is easier to sit down and face the truth?
The answer lies mostly in the fact that a lot of the times couples go into great lengths and live complicated lives just so that they will not have to slow down and think analytically about what they really want, what their relationship is all about and where, exactly, it is heading. While it is simple for a relationship counsellor to say that the truth has to start with yourself and that in order to achieve an honest and open relationship you first need to be honest with yourself it is also one of the hardest things to do.
The reason for this is that the moment we face the truth in ourselves and the way we live and what we want to get out of our lives we have to do something about it and therein lies the issue. Taking decisive action in our lives with the aim to clearly define what we want is something none of us are really very well geared up for. This is why it becomes so seemingly easy to do anything other than what is necessary and right. Obviously and thankfully not all of us go to quite the same lengths but many fail to be truthful and honest and this then leads to relationships which get more and more complicated and convoluted.
If you are really committed to finding happiness in your life and having a relationship which is truly satisfying you need to begin with a simple, doable and direct approach which is exactly what my self-help relationship guide is all about. The advice is straightforward and the results will be worth it.
