When I was in grade 4, I was sent to the principals office for doing something stupid. He asked me to explain myself, detailing why I did what I did. I told him my story, but left out a couple of key pieces of information, and when I finally admitted to them, he yelled at me for being a liar.

At the time I was only 9 years old and hadn't really understood the concept that I was lying by omission, but he reemed me out, and I will never forget, if you don't tell the WHOLE TRUTH, it is not the truth.

And in my definition of betrayal, lying to someone is encompassed by that, so I would say yes, you betrayed whomever you lied to.

Originally posted by DOOMBOT It is definitely a situational thing. I mean, if last night lets say an ex or girl I hooked up with called to talk that doesn't mean I am obligated to right away tell my girlfriend this happened. Now if something happened between me and the ex, yeah she should be told. It all depends on the circumstances. If your girlfriend/boyfriend isn't or won't be directly effected then it isn't a problem not to tell I don't think. For the phone call thing. That is something I had to get used to because my girlfriend is or was still friends with a couple ex boyfriends. I have to respect that and get used to it, just like how I occassional will talk to friends that are girls.

I totally think it's okay to talk to exes; obviously if your still able to maintain friendships it's just a mark that your a good enough person too... what bothers me is lying about it; you shouldn't have to hide the fact that you talk to them; it should be no big deal.
