Trust

Morning all, Does anyone think that a relationship can survive with like no trust or bare minimum? And do little lies eventually ruin it ?

To point something goes missing i.e money or even something daft like chocolate for example and u automatically know its them even though they say its not yet u can't belive them cause of previous lies ..

I think even little white lies add up, the truth is much more appreciated even if it’s harder to swallow than lies.

If there’s no trust there’s not much of a relationship left in my opinion. Also, resentment builds up too, which is another destroyer x

The little lies are worse imo, why lie over trivial stuff? It shows such disrespect for your integrity!

If they lie constantly over shit they don,'t need to lie about, they will lie about big things too.

But you're also talking about them being a barefaced thief too.

Either way, run.
Agree with pp,people who lie to you like this have no respect for you. And you cannot teach someone to respect you if they don't.

For me it was death by a thousand cuts.
Small lies, big lies, absolute denials in the face of black and white evidence.
It left me confused and doubting my sanity.
It is so very hard realising that the partner you have chosen in life is selfish, unreliable and has the mind set of a child trying to outwit Mummy by lying, and then more lies.
When I divorced my ex, the lying went rampant, to solicitors, family, friends, it was breath taking. Turns out I wasn't a wife, I was a housekeeper and babysitter. He wasn't going to give me his money. What hurt the most was, our dd was properly planned, but he stalled, lied, spent, anything he could do to not pay maintenance. Sickening.
