11 Lies wives shamelessly tell their husbands

Marriage is based on trust. I get that, but does that mean there is no room in a marriage for lies? I hope not because there are certain lies that wives tell their husbands that aren't meant to sabotage the relationship at all. Like these little mentiritas right here…

Nothing is wrong

Husbands, listen up! If a wife looks upset, sounds upset and acts upset…she's upset. If you ask her what's wrong and she says "nada", she's LYING.

These old things?

Can a wife get a new pair of shoes without getting the third degree? Sheesh! Perhaps that's why when asked if shoes are new many wives respond, "No, I've had these, but I just never wear them."

It was on sale

As far as husbands know everything that wives buy is on sale. EVERYTHING.

I have work to do

Sometimes we say we have to go on the computer to work or pay bills, but really we are checking Facebook, chatting with friends or buying something we'll later have to say was on sale.

I don't have any money

When we don't have cash, we might pretend like we don't have any money at all when really we do, but we just don't want to spend it on certain things. Don't judge.

I'm not feeling well

When we need some rest because we are really, really tired from taking care of everyone except ourselves we might say we aren't feeling well so that we can rest a teeny tiny bit.

It was a gift

Husbands aren't idiots so we can't always say we got something on sale or that we already owned it because they would stop believing us, so sometimes we say a new piece of clothing was a gift from our mother or sister or fulana de tal.

I don't want any dessert

When a wife goes out to eat with her husband and she tells the waiter she doesn't want any dessert she really means it, but then when her husband orders some she will want some of his dessert. Really it's his fault for tempting her and he better share.

Past loves and misadventures

We all have a past, but does a husband really NEED to know how many loves have been in his wife's past? I don't think so.

You don't have to give me a gift

If a wife tells her husband that he doesn't have to get her anything for her birthday or their anniversary, what she really means is that he doesn't have to spend a ton of money on her, but he better find a way to make the occasion special.

That's a great idea

From time to time, a husband will have a ridiculous idea and instead of trying to argue them out of it a wife might smile and pretend to go along with it. Why? Because she knows the husband will never get around to building that underground bowling alley and pizzeria of his dreams.
