My thoughts (general ramblings): Sometimes people are being honest with you, but they are saying exactly what they mean at the time of saying it and then later don't mean it anymore - common. Sometimes people, without realising it, say what they think you want to hear, or even don't say what they think you don't want to hear - confusing that one.
I can give a good example - I view that I am very honest (to the point of being blunt) but I also love being nice! Therefore if I give a compliment to people it's because I mean it but at the same time I will often bite my tongue over negative comments and therfore I am actually not being honest!
Anyway what I am trying to say is that some times people are just people and that we all make mistakes and do stupid things and [hugs]
Oh, absolutely -- there are a lot of reasons, some of them quite good, why people might not be entirely honest. And I'd hate you to think that this post was 'about' a single easily-explained incident: it wasn't! (Though it was sparked by an evasive answer where a simple 'yes' or 'no' would have been much easier to deal with ...)
Thanks, anyway, for the hug and the reminder that not everyone is perfect! not even me, but don't tell anyone
