- who you were with
- and why the person didn't tell the whole truth
I’m going to tell you about a time I was really upset about someone lying to me.
As I
whole-heartedly value the truth, I feel very disappointed when I find out
that someone has lied to me, especially when it’s someone
close to me. So, I'll
share this situation with you.
I had just started dating a new guy and felt that I really liked him. I was 24 at the
time, and he had said that he was 30. He appeared to be a bit older than that,
so I tried to clarify his age twice, which he insisted was exactly 30. So, I decided
to believe him. I was chatting with his best friend one day who was 32, and he
made a comment saying
that he was younger than Manny, which I was
confused about at first.
Later that day, I
called Manny out (confronted) about
that over text, in which after several lies finally confessed that he was actually
33 years old. I knew it wasn’t the most terrible lie someone could tell, but I felt
that my trust in him was tested. I thought, “if someone lies about simple personal
details, what else do they lie about?”
He never stated his intentions about his lie, but I would imagine that maybe he
felt he was too old for me. I guess that he was afraid to lose me if I knew he was
33, which wasn't a problem for me. Furthermore, maybe he was struggling with
accepting his age himself, so he wanted to keep believing that he was 30. I’m
sure it was related to his insecurities one way or another. Anyway, whatever
his reasons were, I decided to give him another chance although I wasn't happy
that he was dishonest.
