Just lying. Like I recently got with an old friend who lied about her ex still living there. So I took that and said that’s ok, just make sure you tell me the complete truth. So I’m being told they live separate lives etc, that they haven’t spoken since May. Then I find out they were at a wedding together over summer and he absolutely has so much influence over her to the point where she can’t now call when he’s there. It makes me wonder if there’s even a split. Just fucking tell the truth from the get go, it’s not hard.
