How Low Can You Go: Lies, Love, and the Mask of Deceit
Some actions in life cut so deeply they leave invisible scars—scars that aren’t visible to the outside world but run straight through the heart. One of the most painful betrayals comes not just from dishonesty, but from the calculated, deliberate lies told about someone behind their back—especially when those lies are told about the very person who once stood by your side.
It’s one thing to fall out of love. It’s another to twist the truth, to tarnish someone’s name, to play the victim while quietly rewriting the narrative to suit your agenda. And yet, some people do just that. They whisper poisoned words about their wife to others, crafting a story of suffering, neglect, or false martyrdom—meanwhile, turning to that same woman with empty declarations of love, hoping to keep the door cracked open just wide enough to crawl back through when it suits them.
How low can you go?
This isn’t just about broken trust—it’s about manipulation, control, and cowardice. Because to speak ill of someone behind closed doors while professing love to their face isn’t love at all. It’s performance. It’s a calculated game played by those who have mastered the art of deceit, often with the goal of winning sympathy, allies, or a second chance they never earned.
But life has a strange way of revealing the truth.
Because lies, no matter how carefully told, have a way of unraveling. Words whispered in secret tend to echo louder than intended. And eventually, the mask slips. The truth surfaces—not always on our timeline, not always with the fanfare we wish—but it comes. And when it does, the same people who once believed the lies start to question. They start to see.
And for those of us who have been on the receiving end of this betrayal? We rise. Maybe not immediately, maybe not without pain—but we rise with truth as our anchor. Because there is something unbreakable in the strength of someone who has survived emotional betrayal and still stands tall.
If you’re reading this and you’ve been there—if you’ve been lied about, misrepresented, or gaslit by someone who once claimed to love you—know this: you are not alone, and you are not what they said you were. Their lies say everything about them and nothing about you.
Keep walking your path with dignity, because while deceit might win the first round, integrity always wins the long game. And the universe, God, karma—whatever name you give it—has a remarkable way of returning energy to where it came from.
Sometimes, it just takes a little time.
