Q - Dear Annabelle, I just found out that my boyfriend had been talking on the phone with one of my friends. I know that isn't bad but he lied about that whole thing. What made him do this to me? A - Dear Jessica, He lied because he didnât want you to know.......and, because his character isnât strong enough to tell you the truth. He doesnât want to lose your regard, yet the lying has caused you to think about him differently.....didnât it? - Annabelle
