[quote=Anonymous]People lie for many reasons, OP. One of the common reasons people lie is not necessarily to deceive others but to maintain their autonomy and independence. They don't necessarily want to have to give "the whole story" all the time. It's not a lie that is intended to fool other people or trip them up or weave a web of deceit. It's a lie that creates a boundary and says, in essence, "Look, my day is my day. I'm only telling you as much as I feel I need to. The rest is for me and me alone." Think about your own life, you probably do this too. It's not weird, it's normal. Take the lie for what it means, not what you think it implies about her. And let her have space to have relationships as she chooses. I would not initiate conversations about the relationships or outings. Ask her if she had a fun day.[/quote]
