Here's the thing, CV. I see anger in your post. I assume you didn't "feel" angry when you wrote it. But I see it just the same, and not because of knowing the other information about your situation. I took it at face value.

I think to put a finer point on it, I saw something different than you intended. I attempted (with poor humor admittedly) to illustrate that.

I'm not suggesting that it's not a boundary you, or anyone else set that being lied to is not acceptable. Far from it. I'm pointing out a different perspective on that and your letter to your H you may not have seen or considered.

I am not trying to offend. If I have, I deeply apologize for coming across that way.

What is SBT? For my benefit.

SS: I may have missed something in your posts. If so, I apologize. I am in no way saying that lying is acceptable. But I am one who asks "why lie?" Not in the sense of why do you do it, but in the sense of why do you feel you need to do it? And is it a lie with intention to mislead, or is it something else that leads to that? I think those questions are important and the answers are equally important because they not only shed light on the persons motivations but also on ourselves and why people feel they should lie to us.

Make sense?
