Ok so omission isn't technically a lie by Miriam Webster in either the dictionary or the thesaurus.  So why is it when people omit the truth, or give you half truth it hurts so damn much?

I have tried to be honest.  Too honest.  Honest to a point that I clearly run people off.  There's only so much "I've just been really busy" that you can take.  I know I have done the same thing, when I had stress in my life, but then don't tell me that YOU're better than that.  You're better than the other people I've had before and you wouldn't do anything like that.

I gave a fair explanation... it was just two years late.  Am I waiting two years for yours?
