do you lie?

This might be a silly poll to some but I would like to know if people lie. Of course people lie but how often. Im a very open person and I dont lie very much at all where as my DH seems to lie alot. You dont have to comment if you dont want to but please take the poll.

I tend to 'round down' to my DH the cost of things sometimes

BUT he knows I do it.Like that new microwave was $200 but it really cost $215. He knows, he just doesn't care!It's more an 'injoke' than lying.

Everything else though I'm 100% honest to the point that I get into trouble sometimes for being too honest

.

When I was younger I used to lie about stupid, silly things don't know why really

.I have found it's a lot easier to be honest though and face the consequences as they come.

I wouldn say i lie i just dont tell the whole truth about somethings. EG i bought him some girls tracksuit pants coz they were on special and i swore everyne to secerey thinking he wouldn wear them if he knew. He knew all along just didn care.

Oh ains

I was the same with my ex.But he was very controlling too so I felt I had to lie KWIM?

Umm I had to laugh reading your post though, cos I kinda think viperpt was asking this following on from her hubby lies about smoking thread

, sorry I saw the ironic funny side of it

I sometimes lie about how much money I spend.

**pinkandblue** · 04-07-2007 15:14

No I dont lie. I am very open and honest with everyone.

DP and I were talking last week about people who lie and wondered how do they keep up with all the lies? Dont they get caught out? And why do they lie? Everyone knows they are lying and it just makes people not want to be friends with a person who lies all the time.

I dont lie about stuff to hurt peoples feelings. Or to be deliberatly deceptive. I might be like oh yeah It didnt cost that much saying it in a funny voice. mines more sarcasim and joking. My DH knows by the tone in my voice.

Was anyone else wondering who said they lie about big stuff... Gee im curious now..
