Are they acceptable in your life? Do you feel there is a time and a place for secrets and lies, or not.

I know people who live a double life, and have no problem lying and keeping secrets to maintain it. Have you ever done this? Do you now? Is it hard work and stressful? Or does it keep excitement and a sense of power and control present in your life?

Or are you of the straight and narrow variety, the only lies you are comfortable telling, is to your children.....

"If the wind changes your face will stay like that"......

"I know when you tell a lie because your nose gets bigger"...

"I have eyes in the back of my head"....

"It was the shortest night last night and the tooth fairy must have missed her moonbeam"...

I will accept someone having secrets because I have my own secrets. As long as a secret isn't hurting someone it's your own business.

However, if I meet a guy on here who says he is divorced and I find out he's married, he not only had a harmful secret but he also lied and I have absolutely no patience for liars.

I agree. Everyone has secrets....even as lame as a secret recipe.
Its secrets AND lies that I am interested in. When I was young, I thought everybody was good, and there weren't many bad. Then I met a few bad, and swapped my thinking to most bad, not many good.
Now that I am aged, I am of the opinion that everybody is neither good nor bad, we are all equal and just have different ways of thinking, and acting.
Because our minds are powerful things, we create our own world with our reasoning. And what is acceptable in one person's world, is not in another.
Just interested in peoples reasoning, really.

In this world there are honest peolple and dihonest....so why worry. All of our sectes, we own them, and no one can take them away from us, because they belong to us hidden in our own closet that light of day won't even get in. So why worry, it's not your world it belongs to some else.

I don't worry, Menu, its just something I'm interested in from a psychological point of view. I am interested in hearing from those who HAVE lived a double life, and their reasoning behind it and whether it was stressful etc.
And it is part of my world, Menu, my ex had a double life, and I'm sure there are many others, women and men. Just wondering how acceptable it is and all the shades of grey.
Honesty and dishonesty is also relevant to the person.

PS This thread is not meant to be anything to do with my last thread, I just put that in the title for my own amusement, and to pander to some peoples gigantic egos wine

Blue, I thought I responded properly to your question when I said "I have my own secrets". I accidently made the word "secret" plural. I have only one secret. And yes, it is stressful that I still hope that a certain person doesn't find out about it.

I didn't steal anything or kill someone. I didn't break the law. I did something that at the time I was able to defend myself. Now I know better and wish I didn't do it.

Hope that's a better explanation for you.

No worries Monte, your explanation was great in the first place, I was just expanding.

I think we all have done things we wish we hadn't, but I think it is all just a learning experience, in discovering ourselves, which I don't think ever truly ends.

If you didn't know better then, but do now, there is nothing to beat yourself up about.

‘Secret’ when comes in the question of ‘privacy’ I shall say YES!
‘Secret’ when comes to hide something not socially appreciable I shall say NO!

Lies: Never because I simply an independent person and don’t have a crime background!

Although people tell me a lot of lies and they think I am such a fool that I believe their lies; I keep faith on human but still can easily identify their lies now and then. When I can identify this & they know that, they get angry on me. wink

To me a lot of threads like this are about interpretation. To me a secret is something you keep to yourself and if it does get out, there is a contained impact caused by revelation possibly nothing major but an untruth can run amok like a wildfire causing untold damage. Excuse the dramatic language but dishonesty my no. 1 hate

Many of us have some inner, dark, well hidden secrets that are best left not entertained in the light of day. I expect those I enter into relationships with to have lived enough of an adventurous life to at least have chalked up some juicy experiences that have fallen into the realm of secrets that you just don't share. I respect others' right to privacy and don't believe it's my place to pry into someone's past that they obviously don't wish to volunteer to share.

I do put a premium on truth however. It's the foundation that leads to trust which is the bedrock of all lasting relationships. I really don't care what my partner did up to the point of coming into a commitment with me as long as they are always truthful with me from day one.

While I can sympathize with your reasoning, it still strikes me as just a bit naive in a world made up of so many levels and lies by so many who seem to live for hiding 'forbidden knowledge' from many others.
An acquaintance from one of the infamous 'alphabet' agencies once said to me, "Why waste time discovering the truth when you can so easily create it?"
That person was not authorized to speak on the record as to matters of truth, lies and secrets...such a lovely world we live in...thumbs down
