In days of yore, there was a time where we could take everything a guy says at face value and believe it true. I highly doubt that the generation of our great great grandparents were overly worried that their partners were hooking up with complete strangers at the local pub (dance hall). There wasn't much of a need for anxiety or suspicious thoughts with regards to sleeping around or honesty. But in today's society, how is it that we can no longer believe everything our partners tell us (especially at the beginning of a relationship)? Over time, did we develop this suspicion? I believe that this distrusting attitude is not innate considering that our fore fathers were never psycho-obsessive about honesty issues. Over time, relationship after relationship, a "doubting" attitude burgeons that leads us to where we are now.
So if this attitude is not innate, then what signals us that the the partner is lying? Does our common sense spot in our brain tell us? Do our memories and previous experiences send out a DANGER DANGER sign? Or is it our good ol' gut feeling that calls the losers out on their lies and misdeeds? I am sure that we've listened to all of the above, but yet we've fallen for and worst of all, believed, the mass of lies our partner has told us. All the things that we listen to tell us that it's safe, but we end up crying over the realisation that you've been had.
This post isn't very profound. Or optimistic, for that matter. Unfortunately, it's just a comment on society and general. And a hope where we can once again believe EVERYTHING that our partners tell us.
