I was asked earlier on this week: How do you know when someone stops loving you? Or loses interest in you? Being the women that we are, we all sat down and picked apart every conversation, action and reaction between two people. The analysis went on for a while and in the end, we decided that the best course of action was for both parties to talk it out. Han came up with an interesting view at this point - honesty is the best policy when it comes to relationships. That got me thinking. It wasn't that I didn't agree with her for if someone I was attached to started lying to me, they'd lose my trust. But then again, what about those little white lies that everyone claims you're better off not knowing? And how does one decide whether it's worth telling? The answers obviously depends on each situation so let's take a common example. Say two of your friends are going out and one cheats. Do you tell the other? Where does your loyalty lie then?
Most I know would approach the cheater first and give them time to come clean. But what if it was a one off. So called "drunk happenings." If I was the oblivious party, I would prefer not to be told because once I did, nothing could ever be the same again. Unfortunately, I'm not as forgiving as I'd like to be... Maybe it's the fact that being a woman makes it harder to let go once an emotional attachment has been formed.
