Your "number": Did you lie to your spouse/SO about it?

The so-called "rule of three" states that women downplay their number by a factor of three and men do the opposite. I wonder how much truth there is to this.
Did you either downplay or exaggerate your number to your SO? If so, what is your true number and what did you tell him/her? If you have lied for other reasons such as infidelity changing your number, please include that as well. Please provide your sex, age and marital status. |

| No, but he didn't want to know. I've never lied about it. I have a very high number - fifties or sixties. |

| My DW's number changed a few years into our marriage. She said she forgot one. Her number was very low to begin with (two before me) so I couldn't figure out why she would leave one out. Still puzzles me and makes me wonder what else she isn't telling me. |

| I told the truth, 27. DH didn't care. He had less. I don't care. |

| I have no idea how many women my DH has been with and he doesn't know many men I've had slept with. It's not secret. If he asked, I would tell and no, I wouldn't lie. |

| No. I don't even thing we discussed it. Mine is low -5. His is somewhere similar. We just didn't care. |

| Told the truth. We both did. We met in college and our numbers are low. |

| Woman here. We never asked each other but I wouldn't lie. It's under 10 for me. |

| Said my number in ball park figure. Less than 10. No, it wasn't a lie. |

| We've never actually talked about it actually, since we've known each other since we were 18. I've known most of his exes, and he's told me about others. He's met most of mine, and I've told him about others. But we've never been specific about numbers. |

| I never asked DH how high his number is. He has never asked me how high my number is. It's not relevant to our relationship. If he asked, I would make a list and tell him, but I wouldn't ask, because frankly, I don't care. |

| I don't remember what it is anyway. Mid 30's. Spouse was never open with me about the number either. It doesn't matter at all. |

| Yes we know the exact number for each other. We were college sweethearts though. |
