“White Lies” That May Lead to Divorce

How many times in your marriage have you told a white lie? These harmless untruths don’t have any consequences, or so we think. We engage in white lies to protect our spouses’ feelings. However, white lies are actually quite destructive – if the other partner finds out about the deceit, the marriage could be over. Read on to learn which white lies may lead to divorce.

Cash Canards

Have you ever lied about how much you’ve spent on something? You knew your spouse would pitch a fit if he or she found out that you paid that much money for something. Isn’t it better not to make him or her upset by fudging the truth?

The answer to that question is no. Your partner might find out about your spending habits, and he or she will be deeply unhappy, hurt and betrayed that you couldn’t tell him or her the truth.

The Opposite Sex Evasion

You know your spouse doesn’t like you hanging out with your ex. So, what’s the big deal if you tell him or her that you’re meeting a friend for coffee when you’re really going to spend time with a former flame? It’s not like anything will happen.

It doesn’t matter whether the meeting will be completely innocent. Don’t hide it from your husband or wife. He or she will be upset that you’ve resorted to sneaking around. Your white lie erodes the trust in your relationship, which could lead to its demise.

Lovemaking Lies

Are you satisfied with your sex life? Maybe you’re not, but your partner has no idea. That’s because you’re telling him or her that everything is just fine between the sheets, because you don’t want to hurt your spouse.

Like the other white lies mentioned above, your husband or wife will be very unhappy to learn you haven’t been telling the truth. Moreover, how long can you live with a lie like that? Sooner or later, you’re going to get sick of being sexually unfulfilled. That could either lead to an affair or the end of the marriage.
