"Honesty is the best policy" said my fourth grade teacher. The next sound was the paddle for cheating on a spelling test. Really, I had just used the resources at hand to solve a problem.
1) I learned that cheating wasn't the problem, it was getting caught.
2) I could take my punishment when I got caught.
I have learned that appearing to be honest is the best policy. It gives you the trust of those around you and the flexibility to deal with the situation at hand.
Most people don't want honesty they want approval. They will shop through people until they find someone with an opinion they find acceptable. I can hear it now why so negative?
I have failed to find peace and happiness with two wonderful monogamous LTRs. I would be insane to try for a third. I can't keep doing the same thing over and over and expect a different result each time. I had to change my outlook to suit my reality.
I can't promise you forever, because it is not mine to give. I don't want to lie, so don't demand or ask me to be a liar.
