[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have lied about my number of sexual partners for almost 20 years. Told the lie once and never found a way to tell the truth. And he is totally one that will be hurt by the dishonesty even 20 years later. Wish that I was mature enough to go with the "none of your business" line at the time.

I am convinced that when I am old and forgetful that I will let it slip. ;) [/quote]

What did you tell him vs. the true number?  [/quote]

Told him 2, real number is 7.[/quote]

Um, you're wasting a whole lot of angst over 5 partners?[/quote]

Goes to honesty.  My DW told me two then a few years later let slip that there was a third.  Why would she have lied about him to begin with? I have to assume that there were more than that.[/quote]

Correct answer. It's not the number, it's the dishonesty surrounding the number. Why lie unless there was a reason? What else has she felt a reason to lie about?[/quote]
Why lie? Maybe her husband was some ridiculous prude who would feel like she was a slut or he was less of a man based on her number. The argument could be made that in that case she shouldn't have married him, but there is an answer to the question why lie.[/quote]

Well, yeah. But the point remains that the issue is not that she had 5 more partners, it's that she specifically lied about it. If I'm her DH I'm left wondering what else she lied about.[/quote]
