Regardless of the relationship, to be sustained, it requires effort from both sides. And the most important thing is the honesty of the two people.
Because the nature of a relationship is trust and sharing. If someone is dishonest, then the trust will be broken. No one can trust someone who betrayed their beliefs.
But if there is a deception, the sharing between the two of them no matter how much they have, now it becomes meaningless. Because those shares are not true. And things that are not true will fall apart.
So no matter what, if you can’t tell the truth, you can still be quiet. Even if it’s not a good choice, it’s not as bad as a lie.
Follow this simple rule, that it is never allowed to lie, not even once or a single lie. Otherwise, no matter how long your relationship has been built, it won’t be lasting any longer.
