Wow, that kind of thing could give someone PTSD. I think "doghouse" is putting it mildly.

- Waterluvian 8y agoThat can shatter the pillar of trust that a relationship is based on. I've experienced it before: one meaningful lie and no matter how many years of truth follow, the relationship dynamic is altered forever. There's always a cloud of doubt.
- ruskerdax 8y agoI'm betting in your case the meaningful lie didn't involve a bid to literally save the liar's life from an assassination plot by an extremely powerful organization.
- Waterluvian 8y agoYeah, I have no opinion on the right or wrong way to deal with assassination plots. I'm not exactly an expert. I think context is probably very important, but I don't think context alone can diminish the effect this kind of lie can have. You just kind of leave someone in ontological shock about the foundation of one of their most important relationships.
