Have you ever lied/withheld something from someone close (say, to protect them) they never found out, and the dishonesty was worth it for you in the end? No regrets, you'd do it again and all? I just wonder how often (if ever) it works out that way...

I never told my second gf she needed to floss bc her gums were so inflamed and nasty. on second thought I probably did. yea that's something I would do, and I don't regret it. I'm literally never dating someone who doesn't floss ever again. the girl I just stopped dating had periodontitis and I am SICK 👏 OF 👏 IT👏

Yes. It wasn’t my place as a young child in my home to tell my mother that I thought my father was cheating. I don’t know how I even knew what I was feeling. No regrets, even though it was a terribly heavy burden for me to carry. I felt cheated on/betrayed myself as a child too, tbh.

Moma and brotha where both in hospital, we told both nothing, we told both each is busy with their shit.

I know this example will sound horrible/unwise, but here it is.

I've had girlfriends without having the capacity to love. I never told any of them that I couldn't love them because I couldn't feel emotions. For two of them perhaps I should have and was just too much of a wuss, but for one of them our whole relationship was basically fine and I would have broken her heart to tell her, and even though I had a hard time feeling emotions and love I wanted to keep her as a girlfriend. We eventually separated for other reasons, and I like the way it worked out. I'm glad I never told her. =P
