guys i have been thinking. can a relationship really succceed without lies. i know some holier than thou people will say yes but after thinking it thru, i dont think it is possible. what about those things about u that u wouldnt want anybody to know and he/she is probing. those born again sisters that have aborted b4 giving their lives to christ wouldnt tell their husbands the truth no matter what. the fact is that the truth sometimes hurt and lies sometimes helps us protect our love ones and our love life. come to think of it, what is really bad about lying, y do we condem it when we it is unavoidable.

can some people who are involve in an "absolutely lie less" relationship tell me how they do it?

I'd love to be in a honest and transparent relationship, its heartbreakin when you're with someone who lies non stop!

In an ideal world where everything is perfect,it'd be possible, but with imperfect man and what obtains in the world as we see it it is a real herculean task to maintain a relationship without fibbing now and then.

. The problem is knowing when your partner is lying though I acquiesce to the fact that some people are born with a natural lie detector, I for one belong to that genre, which also makes us proficient liers,
Either way you have to understand that sometimes you may have to do a little evil to foster a grater good, quite a paradox you'd say,but it is what it is. That white lie may just save your marriage forever, note that I said white lie.

@topic. . Gone r d days wen truth was d official language in a relationship, dz days lies z d order of d day. . . . . . U forced 2 lie 2 kp ya relationship goin, u lie too 2 mk ya gal/guy 2 b hapi, lies in evryfin.
Dia r 1s who r born-liars if u happen 2 date dem, i bet u u'd b corruptd by dia lies.
In summary, if livin a lie sustains ya relationship move on if nt change strategy.

It succeeds with maturity: that's neither lieing nor telling the whole truth,

A lot of relationships would not have started without lies . . then the lies start falling off as the stuff starts getting more serious.

just saying,

never, never never, nothing buried stays buried it only a matter of time, we the wind blow the chicken yash is exposed, you get the drift

Some things are better left unsaid in relationships, and it might not be considered as lying, But trust me things u cover up in your relationship would eventually tear u apart if u av conscience. so if u think u can live with the guilt of all the unsaid then good.
