Respect my Reality

Most people know I only blog for two reasons.  The first is money, if I am commissioned to write, I write.  The second is if something is troubling me.

So, what would you do if you suspect someone who professes to care about you has told you a lie.  And by a lie, I don't mean a little white lie either.  How do I know it is a lie?  I don't.  In Second Life it is nigh on impossible to tell who is lying and who is truth telling.  If the story changes, that is the first indicator that would trigger alarm bells.  What if I confronted that person and told them to admit they had lied and told them to tell me the truth but they reacted by telling me it is none of my business.  Is that an admission of guilt?  An admission that they have lied, and not only that but I have no right to know the truth.

I guess that means if they don't step up and tell the truth, in order to fix it, it's over.  It's a miserable damned if you do, damned if you don't scenario.  Not to mention the disrespect shown by lying in the first place.

Can I move past it without this person stepping forward to fix it?  No.
