[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think even those little lies -- e.g. not telling your wife about the meat eating because it will disappoint her -- shouldn't happen.

Not to say I'm perfect. I have lied. But is it worth it to lie about your lunch?[/quote]

PP who was the meat eater/Vegan poster....

To each their own I guess....every couple has to do what works best within their relationship ecosystem.

At the end of the day, DW and I don't really sweat the small stuff like that, as long as the important stuff (mutual respect, love, support, physical attraction etc.) is plentiful.  It's the same reason why I don't prod (nor care) when I ask DW what she did today and she lists off her work and chores, but then I turn on Netflix and see that she's progressed ahead a few episodes in her favorite show ( a detail she left out).  Maybe I'll tease her on it, maybe I'll ignore it, but its too inconsequential for me to care about in the grand scheme of our relationship.

I understand this may not work for everyone (particularly relationships with past issues of infidelity, hiding substance abuse, etc.), but I think there are plenty of healthy relationships out there that operate just fine with an inconsequential lie here or there.
