I try to be as best as I can be. Have I told little white lies to keep from hurting others yeppiers I have and sure most have.

But...when it comes right down to it if someone ask me a question point blankly I will tell you my view on the situation. I do have a voice and very well know how to use it.

That does not mean that I will post in these forums what I truly believe on a subject or give my opinion in real life. For there are times it is best that I don't give my honest opinion about somethings.

I took a polygraph to prove I had never told her a lie during our 26 year marriage. Not one time about anything.


Wow that's so romantic...in a scientific sort of way.


That was after I kicked her out and told her I wanted a divorce.


Sociopaths have been known to beat those things. That is why they are currently inadmissible in a court of law. Im afraid you will need to do better than that. Your ex was too easy.


That was the only time I ever took one, it wasn't like I had learned how to beat it. If there was a better test I would have taken it. My only son was a witness, if I had any doubt I wouldn't have taken the chance. And yes my ex was too easy, just ask my ex best friend.


They monitor heartbeat, respiration and perspiration. A sociopath can lie without demonstrating any change in their physiology. You woudnt have to "learn how to beat it." You would do it naturally as you would have been accustomed to lying to people to get what you wanted out of them. This is part of the profile of a sociopath.

Besides, how could I question you to cover the last 26 years of marriage? I would not buy that. Its not worth the paper its printed on. If you had insisted on not taking one, I would have automatically assumed you were guilty.

I'm a sociopath because I knew I never lied to my wife? I guess I can come out of the closet now. I never knew I was a sociopath. I got me a title.

I never called you a sociopath. I dont even know you. I was making statements of general fact.

I was raised like this:

Honesty is the best policy. If you tell one lie, then you need to tell another one to cover that one up and so on.

Just be honest from the start


I like this answer the best.Brutal honesty can be hurtful if done the wrong way.So be tactful and consider the other persons feelings.

1,And why what have done so honest in your life?. Koolaidhoney.waving11/19/08
A relationship cannot grow or survive if it's based on lies & half truths. I always tell the truth even if it kills me. I am still quite flawed as we all are. I just try and be the best person i can be everyday.
I agree.
Thank you

I am honest 100% of the time that I am not telling a fib.
Even when I fib I am honest with about 50% of the fib.

Tact doesn't always work. Many times there is no alternative but to use the "in your face" method of brutal honesty, lest the other person in question ever gets the point.

If you are too terribly brutal with someone, they tend to end up resenting you for it and claiming you have some "ulterior motivation" for saying something so hurtful. I tend to just let people figure it out the hard way now. It doesnt really concern me one way or another.

They may resent me, but at least they'll have learned.

BUT....if they still haven't learned....THEN they can learn for themself the hard way.

I think sometimes people only listen to the opinions of those they respect and even then, they might not.

I know I have had many occasion to "learn the hard way" especially when I was in my 20s and young and stupid. I dont regret it though because I know now I can actually speak from experience. Some people just have to learn that way and you just need to hope they dont end up dead or in prison before they get it.

If it's trivial, I may spare someone's feelings with lighter shades of the truth, but overall I am an honest person who expects honesty in return.
