Boyfriend's lie backfires horribly
The truth will always come out...
Many people will agree that a little white lie here and there can be quite harmless.
But should you lie to your loved ones if you are trying to protect them?
LISTEN: "Should I tell my boyfriend about this gift or keep it secret?"
No matter how pure your intentions, as with any lie, there can be serious consequences when the truth is revealed.
In a relationship, communication is key.
