    You’ve been down voted a lot here, but I think it’s by people who have never been with a partner who does this. If you promise to do the dishes and then go to bed without doing them over and over, the promise starts to be a lie.

    If your partner says " I promise" “just trust me” and then continuously breaks that promise (even if in the moment they sincerely believe they’ll do better this time) and then fails to follow through, I believe that abuse of trust qualifies at lying. We’re adults. You can review your patterns and know better than to promise something you know you have trouble following though on.

    Just promise to try or say you’ll do your best
