Why Do You Lie to Me?

Conversation between Person 1  & Person 2






Why do you always lie to me?    
                                                                                Because YOU lie to me!

I only lie to you because I can’t trust YOU!

What are you saying?!   YOU wouldn’t know the TRUTH if it was standing in front of you!

That’s only because we’ve been lying to each other for so long… and I want it to end.

What are you saying?  You want to end this?

Yes.

So... you want to break up?!

No, I don’t WANT that to happen.  I just want us to end the lying between us.

What are you saying?

I’m saying our life together is built on lies, and I want to stop the lying.

But… what if the lies are all that’s keeping us together?

Then, let’s be truthful about that.

But, I’m afraid of the truth.  I’m afraid of showing you who I really am, what I really think, how I really feel.  I’m afraid of being rejected.  I don’t want to be hurt, so I lie to protect myself. 

 I do the same thing. 


So... what are we saying?

We're saying… let’s stop being afraid.
