DON'T wear integrity like a costume you only use in public

DON'T live two separate lives and call it honesty in either one

DON'T preach commitment while betraying it in real time

DON'T confuse "being unhappy" with "being available"

DON'T say "my marriage is over" while clocking back into it every night

DON'T say "I love you" when honesty clearly isn't part of the conversation

DON'T sell someone a future you never intended to move into

DON'T act like sustained betrayal was a brief lapse in judgment

DON'T reduce years of dishonesty into a convenient little footnote

DON'T swear you're different while repeating the exact same deception pattern

DON'T expect trust to survive what required ongoing duplicity to maintain
