Resentment

One of my girlfriends recently caught her boyfriend in a lie. While I won't go into details of the lie cause I don't wanna put her business out there, it is the topic of discussion for this blog.
In my experience men lie about the dumbest shit. A lot of time they won't even be doing anything wrong and they will lie because it simply doesn't look right. The dumb thing is when u do that you hurt someone you care about with the actual lie and not even what u were lying about. Make sense?
My friend caught her man in what wasn't exactly a lie but a lie by omission. He wasn't doing anything wrong except not communicating what was going on in his life. Keeping secrets in relationships is a no no.
So when asked my advice I told her what any good friend would. As much as you wanna scream, yell, curse and break up with him you now know his crime. He didn't cheat, he fessed up and the relationship can be saved. I'm all for saving the relationship if at all possible.
However if she does decide to forgive him and move on she has to do just that. She can't be insecure, worry and stalk his every move. She can't throw it up in his face during heated arguments or ever period for that matter. She has to never speak of it again and truly forgive. Doesn't mean forget he lied just forgive and move on. I think the relationship can be saved since they both really want it.
Todays lesson is resentment. Sometimes you have to push past the hurt if u wanna make it to the future. It takes more strength to stay and work it out than it does to walk away.
