Sarcasm and Defensiveness

Here's the thing, when you are asked a question, respond with an honest answer. I have found that people when they are lying usually do one of two things, act sarcastic or get defensive then get mad and you have a fight. Truth is if they just responded without being hostile or a smartass, there would be no fight. For example a friend of mine when asked a question, for example, "Did you fuck so and so?" they would reply with a "Yeah,a nd like 10 other people at the same time." That was his way of not lying, but making you feel stupid for asking and getting around the question. Secondly, being defensive, if there is no problem then why blow up on someone and yell at them about how they are crazy and you can't believe them etc. Again, this is a tactic to avoid a question and make the other person out to be a bad guy. Sometimes people do act that way and aren'tlying,but when they have developed a habit of using those tactics to get out of unwanted questioning you always assume they are lying when they do it. SO helpful hints: Don't do anything you don't want to answer for or you feel you'd have to lie about. Secondly, don't ever lie in the first place. It creates uneeded strain on a relationship and makes your partner feel betrayed and unloved.
