Deception is undesirable and causes a lot of turbulence and hard feelings among people. Lying and deception involves trying to hide a wrong doing by lying, hiding important facts and fabricating stories. Affairs are definitely dangerous in a relationship, and create stress and strain in both the partners.

It is important to try and bring an end to the relationship before it deepens and the spouse widens the gap between you and him by resorting to lying and deception.

Deception can be small or large, depending on the degree of severity.  In many situations people are not even aware that they are lying to their partners, especially when they are having an affair.  They begin to convince themselves that this behavior is normal, making themselves feel better about cheating.   Lying becomes natural and even justified for them.
