I'm not saying that at all, in fact I'd call that one of the earliest forms in christian canon of the lie you're telling yourself right now.
You don't have a reason to tell. You've already acknowledged this on these boards. Keeping some reason ready to tell is having a close lie of convenience. Gentleness and respect are non starters. You could gently and respectfully lie about some reason, but that's all it would be, and that's all you've done. Just a never-ending list of throwaway reasons, thread to thread, and not a one of them actually matter to you.
Well, you shouldn't be surprised that they mean as much to us as they mean to you, eh?
