Rectitude?

"I get it, I totally get it.", she told her friend who was dumbfounded when he got called out for something he never thought he would get called out for. "I get why you pretend about who you are to me, to other people you care about, to the people you think are important to you. However, you and I aren't going to last."

The fact that he wanted to be in her good books didn't flatter her as much as it made her mad. He'd always denied his true feelings about anything that had some intense emotion attached to it. And she could always see right through it. Not only did she always see right through it, she called him out every single time. He then always took an instant to think back about whatever he said and then tried to take back the words he used, especially when he understood that she didn't agree with him. He tried to twist his own words so that he could be politically right with her. Somehow, the fact he and her had different feelings, different views, different understandings, different perspectives, different perceptions affected him. And the fact that he always tried to corroborate his own words with hers by manipulating them suffocated her. Because everything about him, was big lie and she didn't like being lied to. 

And she had had enough. She caught him off guard, called him out for his lies about his lies. Any relationship that's built on lies is basically a relationship that is worth nothing more than a big chunk of scrap is what she told him. And she took off, a tad disappointed, for she was in fact okay with them having differing opinions. All she wanted honestly was honesty. Shame he couldn't see that.
