When you make a promise. Do you always keep it?.

Go ahead and answer but also read this. Back them when a man gave his word he kept it.

Wow that's amazing. He probably knew the guys he left behind would suffer if he didn't go back.

I don't make promises lightly, but when I do, I keep my word. It might be old fashioned, but being a person of integrity means a lot to me. I'm always amazed when I run into people who really don't care what's right or what's true, as long as they win.

How about you Boing?? Now that we're friends, you should tell me a bit about yourself. :wink2:

Actually no Ms Sarah.

‘Capt Campbell was an officer and he made a promise on his honour to go back,’ he said. ‘Had he not turned up there would not have been any retribution on any other prisoners.

 

[peace]

Of course I would.

More amazing than ever then!

Always do. For my dick, well that is another story.

 

[Casa_Nova]

Yup, more often than not that's for sure. Irks me when people don't deliver and there's no good reason.

 

[Anto]

Always do and I don't believe on white lies either.

 

[Blank_Dave]

I make every effort possible not to make any form of promise, or give my word. And if I do, I don't really fuckin' care. I mean most people don't mind breaking out the BS on me, so I shouldn't hold myself to a higher standard.

Having grown up in a manipulative, dysfunctional home, and being a Nice Guy, lies are pretty much second nature to me, though I don't like them.

 

[Bubba]

Ok I will lie and say yes but realistically it has been proven that husbands tell their wives all secrets told by their friends and vice versa.

 

[Major]

Most of the times. So hang me for being honest.

I went the other way. If I make a promise, I do keep it. Always. However, I don't make promises easily at all and I don't play the word games that will "let me out of it" either. That is not to say that I have not lied before and will not again, but I have never broken a promise.

 

[LickingGravity]

Promises to myself I rarely keep ( I promise to not drink wine on Mondays etc), promises to others I always keep. I try to limit them to things I have total control of so that I can be sure that I do.

 

[a 1 player]

Always do! If for some reason (like a 1 in a 1000 chance) something happens that keeps me from holding it, I offer a sincere apology and do my absolute best to make amends and regain trust. All I will ever have is my name.

Has anyone broken the implied promises in their wedding vows?
