The spouse knows anyway

When trying to decide if you should tell your spouse about your addiction, consider the pretty good chance that they know anyway.

That's right. They may know anyway.

Sure, they may not know what is really going on, but they might know that something is terribly wrong. They may be asking themselves questions like:

Why can't we seem to get along?
Why is my spouse always to irritable?
Why can't we connect in our relationship?
Why do things feel so awkward between us?

So while they may not really know what is going on, they may know that something is going on. And no matter how many excuses they try to make in an attempt to try and fix your situation, none of them will work because they aren't being told the truth.

That isn't fair to your spouse, yourself, or your family.

Just a thought.

Honesty

No legacy is so rich as honesty. - William Shakespeare at BrainyQuote


So true. Stay honest in your interactions with others.


If you have a history of telling lies or twisting the truth, then that is what others will assume you are doing. Tell a lie, and you lose your believability.


It's as simple as that.


If you are always honest, then your situation and stance is grounded in truth and you can stand by it.


Being able to stand by the truth and knowing that I am telling the truth has been a great blessing in my life many times. Because, no matter what, the truth is the truth and there is no twisting it. I would rather that others be able to rely on me because I tell the truth.
