Do you goats lie or tell white lies to cover up the truth or mask it in anyway?
If you really care about someone will you be straight forward and tell them the ABSOLUTE truth if it even means upsetting/hurting them?
I'm very skeptical and over think shit a lot of the time....majority of the time it's negative as well, which sucks.
I ask direct questions to my lady, no bull shit, nothing indirect.. Last night i asked "are you staying in tonight?" (direct question) and she responded with an indirect answer to my question by saying "my bad I ktfo" ... (4 hours after I asked her).. couldn't she have just said "yea, I stayed in tonight, my bad I knocked out" .. but she didn't even answer my goddamn question. I didn't ask her if she was sleeping for those 4 hours she didn't respond back to me..
Aren't you all suppose to be direct people?
I'm sure this question is based upon my emotions and me over thinking everything... but...i'd like to know nonetheless because she has responded like this on countless occasions and it's starting to irritate me. Tonight I plan to ask her why she does it.
just looking for some insight.

She probably thinks she answered the question. She may have thought you meant what did you do tonight and she responded she went to sleep.

In general, I'm pretty honest. However, if I feel you're driving at something then I'll avoid, avoid, avoid and talk around the question. Then, if you keep driving, I'll turn it around on you and make you the bad guy. But that's only if I have something to hide or something I don't want you to know about OR just because I'm pissed off because you're being suspicious and doubting me.

In this case, though, I think she felt like she answered the question you were really asking. Did you stay in? I went to sleep. To her, the response was obviously I stayed home, I went to sleep.

If you have a ton of negative thoughts, and you feel she may be lying then take a step back. It seems you are getting irritated and frustrated ontop of negative, which creates pressure for her and probably makes her avoid answering since she sense it will be analyzed to death and there is a wrong/right answer or even way to answer each question..

It doesnt sound like you trust her, which is a problem.

Lol, in my opinion, you are indeed over thinking it. However, you are right, she didn't answer your question and I agree it can get annoying.

If it was at night and she fell asleep, chances are she's staying in that night.
Maybe that's too far of a stretch to make? I don't think so. Hm.

Anyways, don't make it a bigger issue than it is.



She texted me just now and said "sorry I fell asleep last night"
understandable. I'm just over thinking as usual -_____-

Might be something I need to just get use to..

I trust her to some extent, of course she does not have my full trust yet...nor will I ever know if and when she ever will.
She hasn't given me a reason to NOT trust her though.. but I just don't trust easy in general.

Yes, I think you are over thinking (I'm guilty of it too, scorp venus and all). 🙂
