DH and lying
Do any of you have problems with your DH lying to you...about stupid things or even big things? My DH just lied to me AGAIN, about something to do with selling our house. I'm so sick and tired of his fibbing. Why does he do it!? Seriously, be a man and TALK to your wife. I am starting to have serious trust issues with him. I don't know what his problem is with the lying.

Re: DH and lying
No, thankfully I don't have that problem. If anything, he's overly honest with me!
I'd have a sit down with my DH if he was doing that. Maybe some counseling?
NO WAY - before I met DH I was in a relationship with a guy who lied to me all the time, and DH knows better than to lie about anything. I don't think he would anyway, though.
No form of lying (about big things or small things) is okay. Ever, in my opinion.
I asked him to talk to our mortgage guy about the possibilty of us renting our house instead of selling it (because of the crappy market). He told me he emailed the guy and never heard back. He heard back from him today about something else and I said, "What about the renting thing?" He said "Oh he never mentioned that." Then I finally got him to admit that he never asked him about it in the first place because he doesn't want to rent our house...he just lied and told me he talked to the guy when he never did.
Another recent lie was over Christmas when my estranged Dad sent me a horrible Christmas card and DH kept it from me because he didn't want me to get upset (I was having pregnancy problems at the time). I found out about it much later....DH eventually told me.
I'm just concerned about the lying because DH's job is a night shift job on a college campus and I do not like this lying one bit. It makes me wonder what he does with his free time at night when he's not busy at work.
I am not okay with lying either, at all. BUT, to give your husband the benefit of the doubt, I can come up with good reasoning for both of those (and it sounds like you can too). If there were other lies too, it would bother me, but if it was just those 2, I would let it slide for now.
(If anyone is curious why I would let it slide, the 1st one sounds like he was trying to avoid a fight about renting the house and the 2nd, he was honestly probably trying to spare feelings, especially with pregnancy problems, he didn't want to deal with it. I would do the same thing!)
