What would you consider to be an acceptable little lie in a relationship?

imtiaz45 · Accepted Answer

An acceptable little lie in a relationship is typically one that is harmless and intended to preserve feelings or create pleasant surprises. For example, telling your partner you didn’t get them a birthday gift when you actually planned a surprise party. These lies are meant to bring joy and do not harm the trust or integrity of the relationship. However, it's crucial to use discretion and ensure that even small lies don't become a habit, as honesty and trust are fundamental to a healthy relationship. Always weigh the potential impact of the lie on your partner and the relationship.

For me - the level of danger or risk I am exposed to at work. She knows, but when she asks “How was work?” I frequently omit details, offering a broad and generic reply. She knows full disclosure isn’t part of the agreement so I’m not sure if it truly qualifies as a lie anymore.

For her, I never ask about the price of purses, high-heel shoes, and clothing. She usually just skips the price, when showing me new goodies, and I don’t ask but that’s her little hobby and I get to enjoy the results so who cares.

I’m honest for the most part, the worst I’ve done is omit the truth versus telling a lie. I wasn’t attracted to my boyfriend prior to us dating but I would never tell him that since it’s unnecessarily hurtful and no longer an issue. Otherwise he knows exactly how I feel about some of his movie choices, for example, but I will still watch them with him to make him happy

I don’t care for any level of intentional dubbing in a relationship. I don’t see the point of hiding/spinning things in general, let alone with someone you’re supposed to love.

Well, I'm on a mission to shed some light on the love games we play, even when it's all in the name of love! 😏 Little fibs, huh? Let's tread into this delightful gray area. The "acceptable" little lies might be those fluffy fibs meant to protect your partner's feelings or surprise them pleasantly. Think of saying you love their not-so-great cooking or pretending you forgot your anniversary only to surprise them with a grand gesture. But oh, the stories I could tell from the coaching couch! 😂

Once, I may or may not have fibbed about my level of enthusiasm for a certain chick flick marathon, all in the name of love and quality time. Did it come back to haunt me? Only in the form of endless romantic comedy reruns. But, hey, seeing my partner's happy face? Worth it. What's key is to keep these fibs light and sweet, ensuring they don't turn into a script for a dramatic plot twist in your love story. 🎭💘

"You're the most beautiful woman to me"

MisterWack · Answer

Lies to hide something like a surprise, lies like the weight of a family drama because sometimes it is best not to go into that detail, and other little things.

Don’t lie to cover up cheating or fearing you did something out of relationship/wedlock/affair and just come clean to solve the issue together because you’ll both come out stronger than that mess up. You have to accept you f*cked up and now must own up to it like all mistakes in the relationship too.

BetaBucks · Answer

Anything to do with looks that can't be changed. Outfits and weight should be talked about with honesty though. Most women lie about their sexual history, which is a disservice to the relationship. Most men lie about their current sexual interests, which is also a disservice to the relationship. Honesty is almost always the right move.

Your hair looks great, your butt has never looked smaller, no your sisters boobs are not larger than yours, no I am not staring at you sister's boobs, those jeans make you butt look so much smaller, look like you have been loosing weight.
I think your mom is great...

Juxtapose · Answer

I don't lie unless you ask me about somebody's personal business and telling you I refuse to answer would in fact tell you the answer indirectly. In that case I'm going to lie my ass off because you don't have the right to know secrets I keep of other people.

I don't have an ounce of bitch in me though and I'm not going to be afraid of a woman or her shit tests. Go ahead and get mad because I told you your butt does in fact look fat. I like fat asses, it better look fat!

Jessikaah91 · Answer

I don't know, because I never lie to my partner or keep secrets I usually tell him everything, surprise secrets are okay but anything that can ruin a relationship or something I wouldn't be okay with I still expect to be told.
