Not allowing true honesty in your relationshipWhy is being dishonest one of the biggest mistakes that can drive away your partner? Because honesty is not only powerful in an intimate relationship, it is also expected. Your partner expects you to be the only person who won't lie to them. Your partner expects you to be yourself and share yourself. When you lie, even if it's a small lie, you create a wave of distrust in the relationship. The more waves you create, the harder it is to keep the relationship stable. Eventually, if you create enough waves, your relationship will turn upside down and your partner will leave you to find a more stable relationship. One person told me that she didn't want to look bad in her partner's eyes, so that's why they lied to them. It's a load of bullshit. The truth is, your partner knows you're not perfect because he's not. They signed up for a crazy thing called “life” where failures happen, mistakes happen, and imperfections are common. And they signed up to share this life with you! If you can't be honest with them about your failures, mistakes, and imperfections, then they will feel like something is wrong, and that could cost you..
