Settle in for 3 minutes of hard-won Irish wisdom about the most dangerous manipulation -
when lies feel like love.
There's a reason that old song "I Love Your Lies" feels so haunting. Sometimes we fall for
deception because it tastes sweeter than truth, because poison comes disguised as honey.
For two years, I watched a professional manipulator nearly destroy my husband using
classic tactics: artificial intimacy, manufactured partnership, sweet-as-honey lies that felt
better than reality.
