affair vs real relationship - the impact of lying

[somanymistakes]

Interesting article I saw a while ago from a girl talking about how she'd been, unknowingly, the Other Woman, because her boyfriend was lying to her about his identity and background.

 

After she found out they still tried to make it work because she thought she loved him and it was just one thing he was lying about, right? but the more she thought about it, the more she could see how that lie and the lies necessary to cover that lie impacted huge areas of their relationship.
