why would a man be dishonest to his wife ?


Question Posted Tuesday August 16 2011, 7:01 am

Why do men feel the need to lie about infidelity if she already knows what happened? Does this mean there is much more similar activity that the wife might not know about?

I think the fact that they refuse to admit guilt is the greater issue. If the man can not even admit the truth when he knows he's already been caught there really isn't much farther you can go with that aspect of the relationship. He's a cheater, lier, won't admit it, so he's not willing to make a change. He's going to continue what he's doing and in my experience no one just cheats once. It is possible for the cheater to change there ways but typically not within the same relationship. He may understand and accept commitment in the future but most likely with another partner. I have found this true with infidelity and also physical abuse. If the wife continues the relationship as is what incentive does he have to stop his cheating ways. There are no repercussions in the relationship so the relationship will most likely continue down the same path until the wife puts her foot down and leaves.

Why does a child lie about having taken a cookie?

There are no easy answers here. Did they take more than one cookie? Do they plan in taking more cookies? Do they think if they just keep denying it they'll make people doubt thier guilt? Did all thier friends take cookies too so they think it's okay? Do they feel entitled to the cookie and don't care that they were told no? Did they also take a chocolate bar?

You CAN'T know based only on the face that he lied, and keeps on lying. You just can't know what else is going on based on that alone. It might have only been what the wife knows about - and he just has balls of steal and thinks if he keeps denying it it will all turn out okay. It might be that the wife has found only the tip of the iceberg.

You have to decide what you can live with based on what little you do know and accept you'll probably never know the full truth of what another person has done or felt.
