That's why I say "most". There are pathological liars out there of course, and sociopaths. And of course there are people who lie only to partners.
Mostly I think people lie to themselves.
These posts are getting a bit meta (not just yours, posts on the topic, I mean). I'm seeing a lot of them lately. I'm bothered, in a way I can't quite articulate yet.
I'd be lying if I said my posts weren't triggered by what I see going on around me at the time. But I try to keep them general because for me they really are mostly about the cheese shop (http://www.virulent.org/siobhan/stuff/cheese.html).
