What do you think of lying by omission in dating?
I’ve been thinking about this lately and I’m curious where people draw the line between privacy and dishonesty in dating.
I was dating this woman for about 2 months and things were honestly going really well. We were seeing each other consistently, getting emotionally closer, talking about future plans, etc. Then one night she opened up and told me she was in massive debt, behind on payments, and dealing with collectors calling her regularly. Her reasoning was basically, “I didn’t lie to you, you just never asked.”
For me financial stability in a partner is very important. So I immediately ended the relationship.
I’m not talking about outright lying. I mean intentionally leaving out information that you know could change how the other person sees the relationship like past relationships, kids, finances, health issues, intentions, still talking to an ex, etc.
