JAKARTA - One of the most important things to look for in a relationship is a sense of security. Security in a relationship means knowing what to expect from your partner. If you lie, you may lose that foundation of trust or security.

Summarizing Yourtango, Tuesday, December 28, trust is the biggest part of a relationship. If you don't have trust, then you can't be said to be in a love bond. If you can lie about petty things or make yourself look better when you talk, your partner may find it hard to believe when you tell them you're going somewhere. In fact, when he finds out you're lying, he probably won't believe everything that's said anymore.

As your partner loses trust, he or she will never know what is expected of you in the relationship. If this happens, then there is no longer a sense of security in your love relationship. The loss of a sense of security and trust makes a person irritable and jealous.

An example of a simple lie that is most often done by many people is lying about the price of the goods purchased. For example, you tell your partner to spend Rp. 300 thousand for a new bag. In fact, the actual price of the bag is Rp. 500 thousand. You're trying to cut labels and throw away purchase receipts so you don't get caught.

However, a friend told your husband the price of the bag and now he is furious. Actually, the cause of the anger lies not in the amount of money you spent on the bag but in the lies you commit.

Don't blame your partner if he becomes suspicious after the incident. Because you have undermined the sense of security he had with you with that little lie. Apart from that, your partner may also start to question everything you say. Until finally accuse you of having an affair.
