Trickle truth

After cheating in a relationship, the cheater has 2 options to move on. Guilt with either lead them to telling the full story, risk the consequences and begin the process of rebuilding trust with their partner, or they can tell the trickle truth and only give out the minor details, hiding the full story.

Tyler: Natalie told me she made out with another guy 3 months ago, right after we started dating.
Rob: She waited 3 months to tell you? It's probably trickle truth, and she did a lot more than that, but said just enough to remove her own guilt.
