My fiance broke up with me because he thought I was cheating. He found a peice of a condom wrapper on the floor of my car. I was clearing my car out to prepare for a trade/sell, and must have pulled it out of the backseat pocket when I pulled out the magazines, etc from there. I've only had intercourse with one other person in that car besides him, so I know it's from a couple of years ago. I've told little while lies before to prevent from hurting him. He asks lots of questions about my past relationships, and sometimes I'll leave out information so that he doesn't feel bad. I guess you can call it lying through omission. Because of this, he doesn't believe that I am telling the truth about the condom wrapper. I tried to put myself in his shoes, and I know it sounds bizarre but I seriously had no idea it was there. I obviously didn't clear out the backseat pockets thoroughly, and really don't go into there too much except to put a magazine or newspaper back there. Do I deserve this because I have told little white lies in the past?

I believe honesty is the best policy, lies always come back to bite you in the butt.
