Lie on a fly

 Lie on a fly!





















Judy was shocked and upset when she received a phone call from Steve's friend, saying that Steve was in the hospital. She rushed to the hospital, expecting to find him in a hospital bed. But when she arrived, she saw Steve smiling and talking to a doctor.

"What happened?" she asked Steve

"I'm here to donate blood," Steve said. "My friend is recovering well."

Judy was relieved that Steve was okay, but she was also a bit upset that he hadn't told her the truth about why he was leaving the house early.

"Why didn't you tell me you were going to donate blood?" she asked.

"I didn't want to worry you," Steve said. "I knew you would be busy with your blog."

Judy wasn't convinced. She thought that Steve should have been more honest with her.

"Even if I wasn't busy, I would have still wanted to know," she said. "I'm your wife. I deserve to know what's going on in your life."

Steve apologized. He said that he understood now and that he would be more honest with her in the future.

Judy forgave Steve, but she learned a valuable lesson that day: communication is key in any relationship. It's important to be honest with your partner, even if it means sharing difficult news.



Why it's important to be honest with your partner:


·         Honesty builds trust. When you're honest with your partner, they know that they can trust you with anything. This is essential for a strong and healthy relationship.

·         Honesty creates intimacy. When you're honest with each other, you can share your deepest thoughts and feelings. This creates a deep bond that is hard to break.

·         Honesty resolves conflict. When there are problems in a relationship, honesty is essential for resolving them. If you're not honest with each other, it will be difficult to find solutions that work for both of you.


If you're struggling to be honest with your partner, there are a few things you can do:

·         Start by being honest with yourself. What are you afraid of? Why are you hesitant to be honest?

·         Communicate with your partner. Let them know that you're working on being more honest and that you need their support.

·         Be patient. It takes time to build trust and honesty in a relationship. Don't get discouraged if you slip up from time to time. Just keep trying and be honest whenever you can.

The Attic Chest

The Attic Chest David had been a bit of a naughty boy in his youth. He had a habit of telling little white lies to get out of trouble. But as he grew older, he realized that honesty was the best policy. However, old habits die hard, and David couldn't resist the temptation to tell his wife, Clara , a little fib one day. " Clara ," he said, "I have a secret to tell you. But you have to promise me that you won't tell anyone else." "Of course," Clara said. "You can trust me with anything." "Well, you know that old chest in the attic?" David asked. "It belonged to my great-grandfather, who was a confidante to the British King. He used to travel all over the world with the King, and he brought back all sorts of treasures." Clara 's eyes widened in excitement. "Wow," she said. "I didn't know that. What kind of treasures?" "Oh, all sorts of things," David said. "Gol...

** Welcome to Fami LIES!**   This blog is a series exploring the various little lies that happen in all relationships in all families.   We all know that families are complicated. They're made up of people who love each other, but who also have their own unique personalities, quirks, and secrets. It's no wonder that little lies sometimes creep into the mix.   Some of these lies are harmless. For example, you might tell your mom that you love her cooking, even when it's not very good. Or you might tell your dad that you're doing well in school, even when you're struggling.   Other lies can be more serious. For example, you might lie to your parents about where you're going or who you're with. Or you might lie to your siblings about something you did or said.   No matter how big or small, lies can have a negative impact on relationships.
