What makes me happy might not always make him happy, and vice versa. It’s about compromising and trying to find the right balance, I know that.
So I lie and find something else to do, or I call a friend if I really need to get something off my chest.
Sometimes, however, there are bigger lies coming out of my mouth. It’s often quite unexpected, but I don’t even think twice.
I’ve also found that it’s easier to tell my husband little white lies than to tell the truth – at least for a happy marriage’s sake.
It can be little things like telling him I don’t mind if he watches football after work, even when what I really want is to have a glass of wine with him and talk about our day. It might be disappointing for me in that moment, but I know he enjoys his sports and uses that time in front of the TV to unwind and relax.So I lie and find something else to do, or I call a friend if I really need to get something off my chest.
