Hey all! Happy hump day poll! [Poll]
Re: clicky poll
Fun poll!
I think I'm somewhere between the "never lying" and the "white lies for his emotional sake" answers.
I am a horrible liar. Even with white lies. H can always see right through me when I'm withholding. So if I'm feeling something, or if I know something, it usually comes out because he knows it's there anyway, and it bothers him if I don't speak up. If it's a topic that's sensitive/would hurt his feelings, I give the rationalization of why I feel the way I do. Or, if it's a piece of information, I'll give him the reasons I didn't want to tell him.
So I'd say I never lie to him, but I have pulled off surprises for him, which necessitated several white lies.
I have always had the belief that if someone tells me something in confidence (so long as it doesn't involve my husband, myself, or anyone close to us) than it is none of my husband's business. I don't get girls who say, "I had to tell my husband, I tell him everything" I actually think that mutual respect and trust, that we have our own lives and our own confidences with people, creates a stronger relationship between us.
I don't think I realize how much I might tell white lies. DH came home and asked if I "went to town" on some food we had in the fridge, I said "there wasn't that much there." Then at laughed at realizing that I was lying, just cause I had posted this today. So, I fessed up I was like, Yes, Yes, I went to town on it. I think I might try not white lying to him for sometime and see how long I survive...
Ooh, good example I hadn't really thought of. I was thinking more of things that directly relate to him and that are more between the two of us. Maybe I white lie more than I realize as well?
