Last December I emailed my now husband's estranged wife to find out why he was calling her. After she thought I was someone else, she supposedly poured her heart to me. She was surprized he had a charge card after having a car repossed but didn't bat an eye about the house & 2 cars he supossedly owned. She stated she knew he had been living with this woman in Chicago the whole while he was living with me. She said he & her were reconcilling yet in her own words on here, the last time she took him back was 3 years ago. She never offered any proof like emails they exchanged regarding this. I realized that she was a bitter woman who wasn't able to hold on to her husband and felt that if she lied to me I wouldn't want him and he wouldn't be happy. Well, thank you for lying to me, I'm glad I didn't let the best thing in my life get away because of your lies!

Maybe at the time I would appreciate a white lie. "Yes, you look good in that." But it feels pretty hollow when you find out later that it isn't true. And I would never want someone to lie to me about anything important. It's one thing to say "Let's go home and relax tonight," and then come home to a surprise party. It's another to have someone convince you that they care about you if they don't. Again, it might feel good at the time, but never later.
My grandfather once promised my father that he would help him buy a house, encouraging him to think big. So my dad excitedly went through with the plan, with his wife and kids in tow, and when the day of settlement came along, my grandfather changed his mind and gave no reason except that he just didn't want to. (Money was NOT the problem.) My father was left with a contract in his hands, and he had to go to his parents-in-law, embarrassed, to make it work. They were happy to help, but were not as well-off as his parents. In my opinion, that's a pretty rotten thing to do to your own (only) son. Don't lie.

Yes. But I still prefer the truth.
