how she found this one girl that changed everything in her life to 
turn it into some kind of feary (I know what I'm talking about 
because this is what is happening to me at the moment so I'm not 
saying these overly huge and -syrupy- words by chance), just to 
explain that Hell I'd do anything to keep it. So the fact that she 
feared to tell the truth in order to give herself more time to find a 
way to fight this is not a life sin, it is so understanding, not that 
it is not a bad thing. Mostly the fact that she was trying to buy 
time as to not admit what she supposedly was while being in her -
soulmate- kind of relationship. Lying to Willow is a huge fault yes, 
but the situation at this moment and the background of all this has 
nothing to compare with what Willow did in season 6. Tara kept her 
secret because it was the begining of their relationship and like I'm 
sure all of you have experienced already, she found it harder and 
harder to admit it with the time passing and their love growing, by 
fear of losing this, didn't mean she loved Willow any less.

I can't imagine that someone would use Tara's lie as an excuse. That 
was so understandible. The only 'bad' think I can imagine what Tara 
did is that she 'might' have been more supportive and understanding 
for Willow's addiction in S6, especially in light of this lie. She 
was somewhat judgemental, in an very mild way. But, that's a big 
might.
