Simple lies are at the crux of many divorces. Deception leads to many things. Mistrust. Hurt feelings. Devastation so bad that it ends a relationship. Lies can mean the beginning of the end of a marriage.
Let’s be frank. The falsehoods come from both ends. There are the ones your spouse tells you. And, then, the ones, you tell yourself.
All lies can have individual impressions. Or combined impacts. We’ve chosen 23 simple ones. In no particular order. We’re sure you can think of more. In fact, we’d love you to add to our list!
