Interesting topic. First I am sorry you were in a relationship based on a lie.
I gave up lies a long time ago. I was a different person then. Now if I am truthful I am mindful of the following:
“If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.”
― Mark Twain
Absolutely I remember Mark twain's word. Well, there is nothing else like truth because if you are truthful person if don't need to worry about anything. Thanks sir for stopping by and leaving valuable feedback... @r2cornell
