Question for those of you who like to debate...
Here's the scenario: (and I use "he" as the identifier, but that could be a man OR a woman, depending...got that? Good.
)
You are in a committed and stable relationship with someone. After a while, things just don't quite add up when the two of you talk. Little details about his or her past are discussed...no big deal. But then you realize that each time it is brought up, something is a LITTLE bit different. Nothing big, just a little. One night he says he was with twenty partners. The next week, he says it was twenty-two. He says no, he has never had anal sex. A month later he amends that with "Except for this one time..."
Just how important are those little details? And is omitting or changing details here and there, over and over, the equivalent to one devastating lie?
