You lied to your partner or spouse and got caught red-handed.
You feel horrible and don't want to lose the person you love, but you know you'll have work hard to rebuild trust.
Maybe it was too many small lies (“I swear I didn't leave those dishes in the sink!”), or maybe it was a whopper (“It was totally innocent. We were just talking!”).
But after a series of small untruths or one earth-shattering betrayal, you're wondering how to rebuild trust in a marriage after lying to the one person you don't want to hurt.
Your relationship can't survive on a foundation of insecurity and mistrust.
Even small lies make your partner wonder what big ones are lurking around the corner.
