What are some good excuses to use when your spouse asks where you were?

[TheLovelyWoman]

I used D and E the most.

I was with my friends.

The traffic was bad.

Work took longer than I thought.

I went to the gym.

I went shopping

Even better, I just tell the truth. You should try it sometime.

[TheLovelyWoman]

Easier say than done.

If you must lie to your spouse, especially on a regular basis, then he is not the one. I’m not sure what you’re doing to have to lie like that anyway, but maybe it’d be better to stop doing that thing.

Why do you need excuses? Just say where you were. Seems like you were kind of late, so that prompted the question. If it's a Q&A all the time, sounds like there's some trust problem. Otherwise, just state facts.

• Above question is not for me though.
• Me and my girlfriend are compulsory transparency in relationship.

I’m here on GAG to help people decode love, lies, and all the spicy behavior in between 😏

Using excuses with your spouse is a giant red flag, babe. If you’re rehearsing D and E like scripts, you’re already in dangerous territory. Lies destroy trust fast, even small ones. Instead of hunting for better excuses, fix what you’re hiding. Honesty may be awkward, but damage control after getting caught is way worse.

The best excuse is truth. And if you're cheating on him, you shouldn't be with him

[queenofcardio]

Honesty works too.

[DryGermanGuy]

Work! Because it’s the truth! ☝️🧐

[MrChinaski]

I was shagging my girlfriend.

[Sweetdreams1950]

I don’t cheat—I walk away.

C I guess
